About me

Born and raised in Southern California, the water was where my love for sport first took shape. I went on to play Division I water polo at two universities before graduating from CSULB with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Graphic Design.
Drawn to art and storytelling from an early age, photography became a way for me to capture the moments, plays, and emotions that make sports so meaningful.
As an athlete, coach, and creative, I bring an insider’s perspective to sports photography and branding, with an intuitive understanding of movement, power, and grace.
My goal is to create imagery that feels intentional, powerful, and brings athletes, teams, and brands to life.

I cannot recommend Ema enough!! She took our engagement photos and absolutely exceeded every expectation. Not only are the pictures stunning, but she made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable the entire time. Ema made it feel so natural and fun and it ended up being one of our favorite memories from this season of life.

Ema was such a service provider. She took time to scope out different locations, helped with our outfit coordination, and made us super comfortable during the shoot. Her energy and direction helped us relax and feel natural. We will DEFINITELY schedule with her again. 10/10 experience!!!

I did a solo photoshoot with Ema and it was perfect! She’s so talented and the photos turned out amazing. She created a mood board beforehand, which helped a lot, and made the whole process super easy. During the shoot she guided me through poses, where to look, what to do, and made me feel really comfortable. I 1000% recommend her!
