Emily

Professional Photographic Artist

Emily has been a professional photographer for the past 10 years and has a background in fine art photography. Growing up in a restoration neighborhood with working artists provoked her creative drive in Lafayette Square in Downtown St. Louis. She has always been interested in art and design, but it wasn't until college that she started with photography classes. Emily graduated from the University of Missouri with a BFA in photography in 1999. She learned printing her own images and still does with some of her work to this day.

Emily began photographing weddings for friends while in college. Her photojournalism is intense and dramatically creative. Her love for humanity captures images with soul. She looks for that intensity between people and captures details of the moment in striking poses and artistic composition.

Emily has traveled and photographed all over the worked including countries such as Spain, Morocco, Paraguay, Brazil, and most recently, Haiti. She met her fiance before his departure to Haiti to do work for the Peace Corps.

Emily owns her own business and is currently working at an advertising agency as their art buyer, sourcing photography and illustration for advertising promotions. She has had her work shown at many art showings in St. Louis. In 2001 and 2002 Emily displayed her photographs at Cafe Solas. Prints included art prints from Paraguay, Brazil and Morocco. In 2003, she displayed her photographic art at St. Charles Community College. In 2004, she displayed her work at Studio 7.

Emily is engaged, planning a spring wedding the in Dominican Republic and lives in St. Louis City.
