Did you know there are approximately 150 babies born in the world every minute? Capturing that one and only first moment as a baby arrives into the world is my true passion. To watch that first breath, that first cry, and that first connection between parent and child is truly an honor.
You are likely to find me capturing those "firsts" during my spare time. Although I am a Registered Nurse by calling, I am a photographer by passion. I enjoy taking every opportunity I can to use my creative instincts to relax and unwind from the daily grind.
I love photography because it allows me to blend my classic New England heritage with my relaxed, Southern way of life. When I am not in the delivery room, I am helping to create memories of families, small children, newborns, couples and even bridal portraits. There is something about a beautiful, blushing bride - well, at least that is what my Husband tells me!
I am glad you found me here, and I hope you will come back often!

Last week I met Claire for the first of her 4 Sessions in our Baby Plan =) Claire is 3 months now and a total ball of sweetness and sugar! There isn’t a day I don’t love what I do and spending time with kiddos like Claire and her big sister Natalie are precisely the reason why!
It was wonderful meeting you “V” Family! I am already looking forward to seeing you again in 3 months! 
- Thanks Emilee. I love the photos, especially the one of her in the chair.
Last week I bundled up all my gear and headed over to Morrisville to shoot Eva’s One Year Session.
Her Mom and I had been chatting via email for some time so it was wonderful to finally meet in person!
Eva was the happiest little girl – made all the rain and grey skies we had seem so far away….
Her Mom made both of her adorable Tu-Tu’s….
Playing with the penguins from her Winter Wonderland Birthday Party!
How adorable is this sweet smile?

I had the pleasure of meeting sweet Essie and her parents a week or so ago and she couldn’t be any sweeter!!
At 15 days old she was a bit older than my usual babes, but still so tiny and absolutely perfect in every way!
Essie’s Mom had this beautiful cast made of her belly and it was then painted at her shower by her girlfriends… Isn’t this amazing?!?!?!
and now, here they are together on the outside….
She was WIDE awake for her entire session apart from about 2 minutes…. certainly she just didn’t want to miss out anything!
One of my faves from the few minutes she took a little cat nap =)
To Quincy – Thanks so much for all your patience and warmth during our session – It was so great meeting you!!

I had the pleasure of seeing Parker a few weeks ago and photographing him at Six Months!
I haven’t seen Parker since we had shot his Newborn Session when he was just days old! Talk about “Growing Up”!!
What a big boy he is and Oh! So Handsome!!
These are two of my favorites and can’t decide which expression I liked better…. To me, they both speak volumes…

Nothing excites me more than being able to capture a truly remarkable event – the birth of a child.
Travis joined the world in an un-medicated birth early Tuesday morning becoming the 5th child to a pair of awesome parents – Kim & John!
It was truly a pleasure meeting them and I am looking forward to getting to know them even better!
You’ll be seeing more of Travis in the next week, but for now feast your eyes on the details of the night (and afternoon after) he was born!
Snow on the ground at Rex that night…
Kim getting hooked up to all the monitors by her nurse – Vicky, who was AMAZING!
Kim & John planned well for lots of activities to keep their other children happy during the wait:
Simon made a paper airplane with a message for his Mom on the inside…
which she promptly gave to Dr Alvarez from Atrium OBGYN to see if it would help move things along!
Travis didn’t quite make it by midnight on the First, he arrived a few hours into the Second day of February…
Right off the bat he has his team loyalties set up =)
It is his parents team loyalties that I am worried about, so I had to do some creative photo-shopping to this photo to “fix” John’s hat – strangely it originally had some weird NY logo on it…
We think it looks much better now =)
Congrats again Nugent Family! Looking forward to seeing you in a few days!
- Your baby is beautiful. God's Blessings to you
- The pictures are beautiful and the family is the best subject.

All the other pictures look great and I know he will be a blessing to the family. May God continue to bless Travis and the Yankees despite the evil that is in the world!! :) Pastor C

I often get asked after I’ve posted many of my sessions whether I think people should get a canvas or a wall portrait -
my answer is always a RESOUNDING, BIG FAT – YES!!!!
Did you know that an 8×10 is not considered a Wall Portrait?
Really! It’s not. It is considered a desk print.
I’ve been looking for the perfect way to really show this – visually and today, I stumbled on fellow photographer – Amy Ro who has done this just perfectly!
For Example – Amy set up this display on her average sized mantle -
Would you be surprised to know that is an 11×14?
Read more about sizing your wall portraits on Amy’s Blog! The link is HUGELY informative!!!
I know being a New England Girl myself, I have lots of followers in her area – she lives in Rhode Island! Be sure to check her out if you are looking for a photographer in that area! I am truly wowed by her!!!
There is nothing like a canvas to truly make the most out of your favorite image! So when I get offered a sale on canvas – I want to share that with you all =)
Orders must be received with payment by 9am on 01/23/2010 (No exceptions).
These are the only sizes on sale for this promotion!
Have a session coming up and know you are going to want a canvas? I can pre-order a canvas for you during this sale and hold the production until your session!!
All Client Galleries have been re-activated for this sale!
Canvas will take 2-3 weeks for arrival.
What a beautiful day today was! It is finally starting to thaw after the big freeze we have been in here in NC! However, I think even if it had still been 18 degrees out, I would have melted as soon as I saw Jackson and his big blue eyes today anyway =) How awesome is it that I get to spend my days capturing these little moments of a time that will soon be gone, but because of photography, never forgotten?
The last time we saw Jackson he was only 3 months old and although he has never been a “little” baby… he was so little compared to now at 6 months! WOW! Wow! Wow! What a big boy… sitting up, smiling, laughing, and loving anything “techy” he could get his hands on!
Without further adieu…. Jackson at 6 months =)
Now don’t let all the red fool you – he is a Tarheel baby all the way =)
I love this one….
Thanks to the “P” Family for having me into your home today to capture this milestone! Can’t wait to see you again in 3 months =)
- Oh, Jackson has gotten so big. He's such a cutie. I love the black and white side pose.
- I love the last pic. He looks like an angel.
- Jackson just gets cuter by the day. I think my favorite this time is the first one in black and white and he's looking up at the camera. Although that's tough to say, because black and white doesn't capture those amazing blue eyes.
- Great pictures! While cute either way, Daddy thinks he definitely looks best in the red! ;)
- Thanks for sharing!!!! Keep em coming. Jackson is adorable. Aunt Brenda
- The pictures of Jackson are great! He is precious and has grown so much.
- What a handsome little man you are Jackson. "Grammy" loves the new pictures of you. You are so precious and those blue eyes capture my heart everytime I see them. Emilee, you did a great job as always, can't wait to see the rest of them!
- What a sweetie! Love those big blue eyes!
- Jackson you are growing up so fast and changing everyday. Grandpa loves the new pictures and can't wait to see the rest.
- Nana & Pop love the new pictures. He is cute as a button and we love his blue eyes! He will have all the girls chasing him one day!
- What a handsome little man you are Jackson. "Grammy" just loves the new pictures. So precious and those blue eyes capture my heart everytime I see them. Emilee, you did a great job as always, can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!
- Great pictures. He is growing up so fast ....... Granddaddy
- Grandmama just loves the pictures. Makes me want to head to Raleigh so I can hold him.
- He's absolutely adorable! What gorgeous pictures!
- Thanks for the "sneak peak" of Jackson's new pictures. He is so cute and I just love the photography!! I can wait to see all of them.
- Emilee.... they are just as fabulous as I thought they'd be! You are such a talented photographer and I am so glad we have you herer to capture these wonderful moments that are going by way too fast! Love, love, love them :)
- You just want to squeeze him!
Today I did a quick session to celebrate Savannah’s First Birthday!!! I absolutely cannot believe where the time has gone!
I know it must have been just the other day that I was lucky enough to be present for her birth and capture all of her first moments in this world….
From that itty bitty baby to this bright and happy little girl all in one year – WOW!!!
She is so mobile – crawling faster than lightning and even taking some independent steps!
I had to include this one of Gizmo who just couldn’t pass up a turn for a photograph!
We ended the session with a cake smash – Savannah was a little timid around all of the sweetness, but by the end we had quite a mess =)
It has been such a joy watching Savannah grow this year! I cannot wait to see what the next year has in store for her!!!
- Em, you captured the essence of Savannah - dainty, happy, & incredibly FUN! Beautiful work.
- Beautiful as always!! Savannah is such a gorgeous little girl and certainly knows how to strut her stuff in front of the camera.
- Love the pictures!! What a sweetheart!
- I LOVE them! Em, you have done an AMAZING job capturing our little girl in her first year ... I cannot tell you how much I appreciate what you have done for us!
