Hey, it's Ema

Born and raised in Southern California, I’ve always been one with the water. I eventually played Division I water polo at two schools. After graduating from CSULB with a Bachelor’s in Marketing, I realized I’d always been pulled toward art and storytelling. About four years ago, I bought my first camera — a little Nikon Coolpix off eBay — and took it everywhere. My Instagram slowly filled with unique, beautiful snapshots of my life… tiny stories I didn’t even realize I was capturing. Photography became this quiet passion I carried with me, something that made every moment feel a little more meaningful.
‍
Two years later, that creative spark crossed paths with my professional world. As a water polo coach, I volunteered to run our club’s Instagram, and that simple task turned into something much bigger. I found myself pulled into their rebrand — helping with a new website, professional photos, and logo design. Around the same time, I upgraded to a Sony Alpha 6400 and started taking photos for friends — LinkedIn headshots, graduation moments, and fun lifestyle shoots. Every few months, I invested in another lens or piece of equipment, slowly building the foundation of a creative career. Now, I’m intentionally growing the dream I once thought was unrealistic — blending photography, branding, and visual storytelling to capture meaningful moments for people, uplift brands, and make a positive impact, even if small.
