You Deserve to be seen

I seek to empower everyday people through a transformative portrait experience. When I say transformative, I don’t mean a “makeover”. My intention with every person I photograph is to change how you see yourself forever. I want you to fall in love with yourself.

To see yourself through the eyes of the people that love you.

Let’s make an impression!

Let's embrace what sets YOU apart.

Have you ever admired those effortlessly natural photos of others and wished you could capture the same for your business? Maybe you've dismissed the idea, thinking you're just not photogenic, or you could never relax enough in front of the lens to capture your essence truly. Or, could it be that the entire process feels too daunting, leaving you unsure where to begin?

What if I told you the secret lies in connection and comfort, two of my greatest abilities? Over the past 19 years, my lens has captured the essence of people from all walks of life, ages, and sizes. The secret sauce? Building meaningful connections with every client from the word go. This connection is the magic ingredient that transforms the final images, revealing the genuine person beyond the pose.

WHAT IS YOUR JOURNEY

01.

PORTRAITS

I am here to guide you through this whole process from start to finish. To make you feel comfortable and confident and set you at ease.

Our partnership starts well in advance of the actual photoshoot day. I photograph “everyday people.” Every person you see in my portfolio is an everyday person, just like you.

These are people that came in feeling the same way you do! I get to know every client so we can co-collaborate to create jaw-dropping images.

02.

HEADSHOTS

I can assure you that investing in an incredible headshot of yourself will set you apart from everyone else. It shows that you are confident in your expertise and engaged with current and potential clients. I’ll do a variety of poses with different lighting and give you styling suggestions so you have a variety of images to choose from for your LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and, most importantly, your website.

Let’s attract your dream job and ideal clients with authentic headshots that showcase what makes you, YOU! .

03.

PERSONAL BRANDING

This isn’t about fitting in but what makes YOU different. I want to partner with you to create images that elevate your brand and showcase your personality. We will collaborate on the concept and design for your personal branding photoshoot from start to finish. If your brand is well-established, great! If you need help discovering your brand, no worries, I will help you find out that through a comprehensive design session so that you feel confident being the face of your brand!

  • "For years, I have been wanting to do a professional photo shoot but held back out of fear, never feeling comfortable in front of the camera. Emerald Dove has a way with the camera that makes you feel safe to come out of your shell, find yourself, and capture it. Through her eyes, she helped me see the me that has always been there, wanting to break out and say hi. With Emerald, it is more than a portrait, it's a true mirror of your soul. Thank You, Emerald; I will always be grateful for the experience."

    -Keith

  • "Emerald’s professionalism and attention to detail allowed me to completely relax, and I felt seen and heard while totally trusting her vision and guidance. What’s more is that Emerald has a disarming and delightful personality and a relaxed sense of humor, and that combination made the whole experience light and lots of fun.. I strongly recommend a photoshoot with Emerald — she’s the real deal and an absolute delight to work with. Thank you Emerald! This was truly a worthwhile investment and wonderful experience.”

    -Christina

We felt truly special & like rockstars because of the service, professionalism & genuine care that was extended in all the moments of our session. Thank you emerald!

    -Stephanie

  • " Her studio was warm and inviting and I felt completely spoiled the entire time I was there. The photos she delivered are the best that have ever been taken of me and I was brought to tears to see myself captured so beautifully. You can feel Emerald's love for her craft radiating through the images and it's means so much to have someone put so much love and energy into helping me build my brand. I'm looking forward to working with her again in the future and seeing the magic she creates!”
