Introduction
Hi there! My name is Emily. View my website at emdeanphotography.com! I'm a portrait photographer based out of San Diego, California. I love the beach and do many of my photoshoots there. I work with individuals, couples and families. I love photographing small backyard weddings & parties, engagements and elopements. I love photographing love in all its forms. My speciality is documentary-style photography, as I studied photojournalism in college, which means I’m less focused on perfectly posing you and more focused on guiding your movements to capture in-between moments that others might miss. During events I lean heavily into a candid style of photography, but I’m always sure to get the posed shots you want as well. Because outdoor portrait sessions are a specialty of mine, I love working in natural light. I pride myself in making people feel comfortable and confident in front of me and my camera, because I believe that each person holds an indescribable amount of beauty and light that deserves to be captured, preserved and remembered.. we're all the most beautiful when we're just being ourselves. Think of me for elopements, small weddings, engagement photos, graduation pictures,maternity photos, family photos, self love sessions, or ANY scenario when you're looking for artistic, timeless photos! NOTE: I do not offer newborn or cake smash sessions.
