Emily took our family's photos in summer, it was hot, my dad & brother were awkward, but she made jokes making them feel more relaxed, laughed with us, & captured some beautiful photos. we have never had photos done of my family before, and i am so glad that we chose Gray Photography to take them for us! Smooth booking process, we just came to the session to have fun & Em took care of the rest! 10/10!

Emily was such a joy durring our birthing time. She was very professional and made everyone, including myself feel very comfortable in a very vulnerable state. She is absolutely precious and shows much enjoyment in her work. I will be choosing Emily to do our photos from now on!

My husband and I did our first family session last Fall with Emily and absolutely loved it. She let us include our dogs and the photos turned out perfect! We had our second session, a maternity shoot earlier this year. It was our rainbow baby and she made the photos feel so personal, they turned out beautifully! Then after our baby was born this Fall, we had another Family session with our new daughter and I'm in love with the sneakpeaks!! Emily Gray is an amazing photographer and I would recommend her to absolutely anybody! She is super go with the flow, in a professional way, puts up with my goofy husband, as well as our naughty dogs, is on point with all her photo ideas and she is super kind, just an all around joy! 10/10 recommend everytime!

Emily has an amazing eye for detail. She manages to capture all the little things that make the session stand out, without me even asking. She has photographed my family many times, but there is just something so magical about a fresh48 that makes it all worth it. All the recovery time, energy, and pain is worth seeing those photos of a fresh tiny human. We cannot wait for our next session with Emily.

I could not be happier with my choice of photographer for our wedding. not only did our photos turn out amazing, we got a large variety of pictures for the sneak peak the very next day. Emily is amazing at what she does & such a genuine soul. The whole day she was so patient, creative, kind and innovative. I’m thankful she was a part of our special day!

To have Emily Gray as a photographer is a privilege. She is hands down the best. She is up for any idea you have and 9 times out of 10 she makes the idea way better than imagined. She has captured so many moments for that she’s basically part of the family. And I think that’s what I love the most about using her. She puts so much of herself in her work and cares so much about her clients and you can’t find that much anymore. She’s patient and kind and so creative. You won’t regret booking a session with her.

Your work is absolutely amazing! I cannot thank you enough for capturing all of my families special moments, from my fresh 48 to my family pictures. My fresh 48 session was so raw and real. They are the most special photographs I’ve ever had. I cannot say enough good things about you!!

Best photographer and Human ever!

Besides having the best photos around, she is the reason I stayed so calm on my Wedding Day!

She has a beautiful heart and is such a sweet person!

You would never, ever think that writing a testimonial for someone’s business would be something to bring you to tears, but when it comes to this human being, and her passion and ability, I cannot help but become emotional. She has done multiple sessions for me, and each time I fall more in love with her talent. She has my heart in the category of my “go-to” photographer, and I am 100% sure that that will never, ever change. She has captured so many of my most special moments so beautifully, and she will continue to do so for as long as I can convince her.

When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I knew I wanted to look into getting birthing photos taken. A family member suggested for me to get in touch with Emily to see if this is something that she offered. I messaged emily and she was so excited to do take the birthing photos, as well as his fresh 48. The first time I met emily, was at the birthing center when I was in labor with my son. I was afraid it was going to be awkward but it was as if I had known Emily my whole life. She is an awesome photographer and an even more amazing person. I am so thankful for her, and will never be able to repay her for these photos. If you are thinking of doing birthing photos, do it! You won’t regret it

When I got engaged I was so excited to get the ball rolling! I had searched for days and weeks for the perfect photographer that I believed was going to capture everything possible on our magical best day ever! With the help of my mother we came across Emily Gray out of Alton Missouri and immediately we connected! Despite covid had just started so we were both quarantined and unable to meet up, she trusted me to save my date and pay her as soon as we both were available because I was hesitant to send money by mail! She was on top of everything at a timely matter and was never overwhelming about anything! Her package choices were all wonderful but I wanted all of her time I could possible have so choosing her top package was a no brainer! When we met with her for our engagement photos she allowed us to feel free of embarrassment and we had so much fun together! Then having her with us all day on our best day ever capturing every amazing moment possible is memories we have to cherish forever! Having Emily from start to finish along our wedding journey was like having a great friend at my side! She presents herself very professional and friendly as well as delivering what you paid for within a timely matter! I definitely recommend Emily to everyone for all occasions especially weddings!

Emily goes above and beyond in her work, she takes pride in what she does and it shows! The quality you get with Gray Photography is just the icing on the cake! She answered all our questions, helped us pick out the best outfits, and was ABSOLUTE perfection when it came to handling the rowdiness of two young boys! 10/10 recommend scheduling a session with Emily @ Gray Photography RIGHT NOW!!!

When my mom first said that she wanted to get family pictures done I immediately said I know the perfect person. Without hesitation you said of course you’ll do the shoot. So our big family of 12 set off for an adventure at the park that you captured so well and had a great time interacting with all the personalities. The pictures are amazing, and we are so pleased with the quality, the price, and your attention to detail. Thank you for our family memories!
