~this is me~
Hey I am Emily, and I LOVE MY JOB. I am a mother to 2 sets of beautiful twins and baby Kolt. Sawyer and Knox were born in 2012, Freya and Lincoln were born in 2017, and Kolt was born May 2021 his official adoption date was Feb 9, 2022. They are truly my reason for being. I cannot even begin to imagine life without them and cannot remember how I lived before them.
We have 4 dogs; an Australian Shepherd cross Azlyn, a Golden Retriever Penny, a Golden Doodle Daisy, and Corgi Layla. We also have 4 cats Kit, Bella, Tinkerbell, and Mystic plus a couple horses & ponies. My favorite things to do are hanging with my family, weight lifting (I am also a certified personal trainer), and visiting new places. I LOVE plants and have a growing jungle in my house. I love to cook and hate to clean.
I am quiet, shy, and love to laugh. I am a storyteller who lives for adventure. I am a girl who loves meeting new families and even more so love seeing past client families grow up. I will laugh with you, maybe cry with you, and definitely create lasting memories for you. Time doesn't stand still and definitely doesn't slow down, and photographing your family is the only way to remember these fleeting moments like it was yesterday. I cannot wait to give you these lasting memories that you can pass down through generations.
Get to know me a little more on IG
I look forward to meeting you and your family
~ xoxo Emily

"After recently getting newborn photos done with Emily Kay photography I knew I found our “forever” photographer. Emily took us on last minute for a newborn session, which I thought was exceptional. She was super easy to communicate with and to set a date with that worked well for the both of us! She was very accommodating, And super good with both of my girls. She truly is a baby whisperer. She captured memories that I will cherish forever. From the time that I booked to the time we went to her house for our session I couldn’t of asked for a better experience. If 10 stars were available All 10would be given to Emily. Emily’s work is phenomenal and I would recommend her to any family or friend."

"Emily does amazing work! So far she has done our maternity session, newborn session, in home new baby session, and our daughters 1 year photographs. Emily is flexible and easy to work with. Her love for working with babies and kids shows in her work. Emily is easy to get in touch with and has a quick turn around post session. We will continue to use Emily Kay Photography for all of our future photography needs."

"Our newborn session with Emily was beyond our expectations! From the minute we booked our session we knew we went to the right photographer. She was professional, caring and complete. The day of our session she continued to amaze us with her patience with our baby! She shifted and waited and readjusted and waited. It was obvious that she was determined to get ‘the’ picture for us and that she loves her job and babies. She worked with our beautiful little boy to capture him, his brand new personality and the love of our new little family. Thank you Emily, we have found our forever family photographer!"
