Nothing makes me happier than knowing i stopped time in all the right moments!

Klumpers Family


Emma has captured our love story since the day he got down on one knee. 2 kids, one more on the way & a puppy add quite the craziness to our sessions now, but Emma is always so patient through the chaos! Never failing to capture all the moments and everything in between. I also love that even though we may forget ourselves as spouses when we become parents, she always makes a point to take a few pictures of just mom and dad, and looking back on our sessions, they truly are special moments we would have missed if it wasn’t for Emma!

"Loved Emma's Holiday Minis! Amazing work! Even with an emotional, moody 2 year old she was able to capture beautiful family photos for us."

"I will start out by simply stating I have nothing but positive things to say about Emma and her photography! Her attention to detail and eye for special moments is absolutely phenomenal. I was so anxious to choose a photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. From our first sit down, she made us both feel so comfortable and at ease. It was as if we had known each other for years. She got my husband to loosen up during photos- which is a feat on its own! Then came our wedding day. She caught every moment I wanted and then some. A few guests had surprised us with fireworks, and she worked with them to be able to capture photos of us enjoying them. She took the time to build a relationship with us. By doing so she was able to make the photos "us" and show so much emotion. Emma is truly beyond talented, and has a way with her clients. We look forward to working with her as we reach other life milestones!"

We love Emma Therese Photography! Emma is wonderful to work with before, during, and after your shoot. She responds to messages and has a lot of great ideas! She has done a couples mini session for us, as well as a full family session. Both times we received lots of beautiful photos that captured us perfectly! Emma listened to my wants and ideas and made them happen for us. She is great with kids and has lots of patience. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with for us next time! Thanks Emma!

"Emma will make you feel like you were meant to be in front of the camera- even if that’s not your strong suit, just like me. She will capture the details you don’t think of, the angles you don’t see, and will allow you to relive your day through her amazing shots! In the time leading up to your event, you will feel confident in Emma’s communication and prep work. 

Emma not only went above and beyond for our wedding photos, it was almost 30 below with windchill and our photos turned out this amazing, but also for our proposal and engagement photos. She worked with Jose to create a "photo shoot day" during which he proposed and traveled to our favorite fall location to get us the fall outdoor shots we wanted. Picking just a few of our favorite photos to highlight was near impossible. We can’t wait to see what she does in the future for our anniversary and family photos to come!"

"Emma does such a great job. She made my wedding day so much easier and I wasn't worried at all. She helped me fall in love with my dress again and helped me relive my wedding day and my engagement photos were just as great"

Emma was fantastic to work with!! I messaged her about doing a surprise part in our family photo shoot. My husband was dying to dress up as Michael Myers and scare the kids and then do a fun photo shoot. Emma was all for this!! She got some awesome shots!!! The kids had no clue!! We will forever have something to laugh about from that session lol.

I couldn’t just pick one picture!

I had to choose a Michael Myers one and a family one that was my favorite!! Emma did great at getting the right angles, having us do different poses instead of the same ones. And she let us do the poses we wanted too without any issues. I’ve had previous photographers go against my ideas and wants, and that I wasn’t ok with. Emma is far from that. She wants to hear what you’d like from your session!! Thanks Emma for being awesome!! You’ve gained another regular family!!

Once again Emma Therese Photography does the most amazing job catching the personality and kindness of our crazy toddler. These are so beautiful and I’m so thankful to have these moments in time with my little family be captured by such an extraordinary woman. Thank you so so much.
