Take a look at the guide and see if you think we’d be a good fit!I’M SO HAPPY YOU’RE HERE.HEY THERE!E M E L I A K P H O T O G R A P H Y

I BELIEVE:* that photography is a beautiful, tangible way to tell a story* in creating photos that show real, authentic love* that love looks different for every family* in providing families with authentic and creative images that memorializeand celebrate a specific time in their lives and relationship* that what an image represents is more important than the image itself* that photography should be natural and genuine, not fake or pose-y* that it is an honor to witness and capture real moments and real emotionsbetween a family* that photos are an investment to enjoy forever* that photography should be fun. Seriously, we’re going to have a lot of fun.MY PHILOSOPHY & INVESTMENTE M E L I A K P H O T O G R A P H Y

MATERNITYWhether you’re looking for announcementphotos, or some gorgeous photos with yourgrowing bump, I love to capture it all. This issuch a special season. I remember getting alldressed up, shoving my swollen feet into oneof the last pairs of sandals that fit, and feelingoverwhelmed about taking photos. Lookingback, they are so special to me because it wasa reminder of all of the nerves and excitementthat Joe and I felt as we prepared to welcomeour girl. For photos that show off your bump, Irecommend scheduling a time when you’ll bebetween 30-34 weeks to ensure you are stillcomfortable enough to move around.
