MUSE: a person or personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.
Photography has been part of my life since I was twelve, when my dad noticed how naturally I observed the world and encouraged me to follow it. Over the years, I built my foundation through hands-on experience, mentorship, and learning in real time, photographing in a wide range of environments and lighting situations. That depth of experience allows me to work confidently and adapt quickly, so my couples can stay present and trust that every moment is being thoughtfully captured.
I began photographing weddings full time in 2015, and it was there that I found my own rhythm. My approach is rooted in intuition: knowing when to gently guide and when to step back and let something real unfold. I work closely with my couples throughout the planning process, offering direction, timeline support, and intentional guidance so nothing ever feels awkward or forced.
You’ll never be left wondering what to do with your hands, but you’ll also never feel pulled out of the moment.
Today, my team and I bring over a decade of experience and have photographed more than 250 weddings, from intimate ceremonies in Hawaii to black-tie celebrations at The Ringling in Sarasota, Florida. Every wedding is different, and I approach each one with care, presence, and an artistic eye shaped by years of doing this work at the highest level.
At the heart of it all is connection. Taking the time to truly know my clients allows me to photograph them honestly, capturing not just how their day looked, but how it felt to live it. Being invited into such meaningful moments is something I never take lightly, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust my couples place in me to preserve their memories.
Our MISSION is much bigger than just
takING pictures:
We want your images to bring you back to the moments that truly make up the story of your life. Everything we do at Mused Photo is guided by this intention. Our name and mission reflect our belief that photography isn’t just about taking pictures: it’s about capturing who you really are in those moments. When you look back at your images, we want you to feel fully immersed in the memory itself: breathtaking, authentic, and unmistakably you. Our style goes beyond posed portraits to capture the richness of life as it unfolds, creating photographs that will be cherished for generations.
This is only possible through genuine connection. We build relationships with each of our clients and collaborate during the planning process to understand what makes them unique. That understanding allows us to bring personalities, relationships, and emotions to life in photographs you’ll treasure forever.
For our couples, engagement sessions are more than just pictures: they’re experiences. Time spent together becomes a moment to connect, laugh, and create memories, all while easing into the flow of the wedding day. We believe in this wholeheartedly and offer complimentary engagement sessions to each of our couples as an investment in their experience.
On the wedding day, as they focus on one another, we are attuned to every meaningful exchange, between them, their loved ones, and the details that make their day uniquely theirs.
Families are welcomed exactly as they are, so we can capture authentic interactions and personalities. From milestone family sessions to the first days of welcoming a new baby, we document life’s tender, fleeting moments. We are there for the highs, the quiet, and even the bittersweet. Those moments when wrinkled hands are held, blurry eyes exchange last goodbyes, or tight hugs linger just a little longer. Every memory that matters deserves to be preserved in a way that brings you fully back to it.
Live your life inspired and embrace every moment: leave it to us to capture it that way.
Sincerely,
Emma & the Mused Photo Team
