Meet Emma

I’m glad you’re here…but I’m currently on maternity leave June - September 2025!

For questions and fall session bookings, send me an email! Thanks in advance for your patience with slower response times while we adjust to life with the newest Dallman. :)

I’m Emma, and I fall a little bit in love with every person I photograph. My goal is to create rich, bold, dramatic, and timeless images that highlight the faces and reactions of those you love; all while making you feel as comfortable and natural as possible in front of my camera.

Quick Takes:

Extroverted homebody
Canon shooter photographing couples in love for over a decade
Native Californian, adopted Pennsylvanian (ask me about my Wawa addiction...)
Married to a math genius
Mom to three miracles
Powered by Mexican food, homemade craft cocktails, and pourover coffee
Send me a recommendation for a podcast, fantasy novel, or IG recipe account to become immediate besties

I've always been enthralled by the magic of photography. I can vividly remember snapping through an entire roll of film at 8 years old during the "Shamu Show" at Sea World, (I was trying to capture the perfect whale jump...) I spent my weekends through junior high and high school filming and directing elaborate original home movies, (usually about alien invasions) or recreating my favorite music videos with friends. Through college I worked as a sports photographer and later as an event photographer, but I was always most inspired by humans in love. I’ve lived all over the country and photographed couples in Arkansas, Oregon, Oklahoma and more. In 2016 I launched my wedding photography business while living in New York City and never looked back.
