I have had the blessing of being behind the camera for almost half my life and I made it a business in 2018! I love the details of every session and want to capture genuine laughter from everyone I get to work with, even if I'm asking for a "Fake laugh", we're going to try to get to that real YOU. I focus on Couples, Families, and babies, which means I capture everything from Birth sessions to Weddings. From the moment you inquire about a booking to the moment you open your gallery or prints, I strive to answer every question, calm every nerve, and provide my all so that you have one less thing to worry about.
Christian - Wife - Mother - Photographer
Join us for Church!
My family and I attend church in West Plains at Endurance Church! Here we learn more about how to honor God, love his creation, and dive into His word!
We'd love to sit with you & worship beside you!
My purpose in photography is to help you see YOU the way others do and love yourself like God loves you.
My passion is found in creating beautiful artworks with YOU at the center.
I recieved my first camera for Christmas at 15. Since then I've been taking photos of EVERYTHING! I have very few candid photos of my teenage years without a camera in my hand.
I started my photography journey before youtube education and "Collaboration over competition" was a thing, so up until 2019 I was completely self taught. In 2019 I found a photographer friend, then another, and another... and we have since created a great group of friends and learned so much from each other.
I've always strived to be ME at every session and always create a space where everyone is comfortable to be themselves, no matter how awkward it might feel. When YOU are comfortable, your session will feel like YOU, and there's nothing like seeing yourself in a photo and loving the joy and love you see there.
My Family
We're pretty cool.
My husband and I grew up together.
Cue the "ews" and "Awes".
We are high school sweethearts that got married and started a family.
He likes to blame me for his gray hairs... but he started getting those before we started dating.
If I am to blame for anything... it is his beard.
His life has certainly been threatened if he were to shave it off.
Our oldest daughter is just as full of attitude as her father and is a spitting image of myself. Luckily she has grown up with the camera focused on her and has yet to decide that she hates it. Because of this, my personal FB is filled with nothing more than photos of this poor girl in the odd shenanigan's she gets into, like dressing herself or baking cookies like the Tasmanian devil.
Our youngest daughter is a huge spitfire in an itty bitty body. We have called her our burnt little nugget since she arrived on her own time and orange like an early 2000's self tan. She has occumpanied me to a handful of sessions and has stared down each client that she has gotten to meet. She's mean, but she's cute.
Testimonials
Emily is truly a joy to work with! She allows you to be yourself and captures that so beautifully and effortlessly! Her open line of communication before, during, and after the session is top notch!

"I quickly learned when I met Emily that she was an artist, but when I saw our pictures I was blown away. She has true talent and the kindest soul all wrapped up into one. I had a vision of what I wanted and she brought it to life. She took right to my family like we had known each other for years past. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Gray Photography, you will not be disappointed!"
