Photography is more than just a job for me—it's a way of capturing the story of life as it unfolds. As the archivist of your day, you're trusting someone who understands the beauty of storytelling and the importance of preserving memories that are uniquely yours. Let's create something beautiful together.

Welcome to Redwood Photo
I believe photographers hold the weight of history. Your history! We marvel at the old, tattered black-and-white film photos and are inspired by the feeling and smell of flipping through old family albums.
In discovering those worn photos at the thrift store or sifting through the boxes of old prints from those we love most, we begin to wonder about the intricate, untold stories behind them.
It is an honor to capture the moments that will one day stir that same curiosity, emotion, and reminiscence for you when looking back on your own story. Those fleeting glances, the laughter, and raw emotions that make your love unique, preserving the essence of who you are! I believe in immortalizing your most true and heartfelt moments, so that years from now, when you look back on all of the versions of you that you have been, you can be certain that we told this fleeting part of your story well.

I’m a laugher, and I would definitely call myself an extroverted introvert. I’m someone who loves to feel moved, whether through stories, encounters, or just a beautiful moment in front of me. I can cry just as easily as I can laugh. I love finding ways to care for the health of my body and soul because I value self-care as much as I value self-expression.
As an enneagram 4, I’m drawn to Beauty in all its forms; baroque architecture to the simple heartfelt experience of sharing a dinner with close friends. Traveling is a passion of mine, and its a priority in my life to make time for those adventures! Exploring new parts of the world fills me with inspiration, but so does a Trader Joe’s floral bouquet and a quiet, rainy fall day curled up by the fire with a good movie—each one brings its own magic and meaning.
“Emily is an exceptionally talented photographer who captures the authentic beauty of both nature and humanity. Her talent for blending artistry with authenticity sets her apart. She depicts God’s love story to us with the celebration of life’s beauty.”

“Emily’s style was exactly what we were looking for, and made us feel at ease during our session. She has a talent for capturing the more candid moments, and the authentic nature of relationships between people. We had a lot of fun during our shoot and look forward to working with Emily in the future.”
-Alyssa & Griffin
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Emily for a family photoshoot, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! The session was filled with laughter and fun, which resulted in some truly candid moments that perfectly captured our family's personality. The final gallery was a stunning reflection of our day together, and I found it difficult to choose favorites—every image was a treasure!”
-Hannah T.
“Emily has captured so many different times in our life- from the big moments to the small ones- and has done so in a way that allows us to truly revisit those moments. She seems to aim to capture the emotion and atmosphere of the moment more than just portraits, and it’s so wonderful to see ourselves and the people that we love relaxed and living rather than stoic and posed. Each time we use her I barely notice her presence, and am always so impressed when I get my pictures back at how she manages to be so close to whatever she’s shooting without ruining the intimacy of it all. She is an absolute creative and I will continue to use her as often as I can!”
