“Emerson Grace: You are a true master of fine art. You are also the definition of utmost professionalism. You held our young ones’ attention & kept them happy. Grace is a fitting middle name for you because you are both graceful and gracious. You returned our photos quickly and the way you captured the beautiful sunset light is truly astonishing. I pray that we will have the honor of remaining clients of yours for our lifetime. Thank you for your time and effort and we cannot wait to do it all over again!!! -The A. Fam”

“I had such a dreamy maternity session with Emerson! From start to finish, she was attentive to every detail and prompt in her responses and working with me in-depth to make sure we were able to achieve just the look I was desiring for my maternity photos. I love her authenticity and encouragement during the session and she really captured what I was hoping for and the photos were gorgeous! Such a worthy investment and excited to take our family photos with her.”

— Hannah

“Emerson was such a joy to work with. She captured the best pictures of our little 10 month old. He loved her & smiled almost the entire one hour session. We hope to use Emerson for years to come in capturing our sweet family as it grows. Not only are the pictures so beautiful, they were provided to us so quickly. Overall, such a wonderful experience. You certainly will not regret using Emerson to capture your most precious moments."

— Jessie

“Emerson is adorable and so great to work with! She was easy going and felt more like family as we hopped on our golf cart and chased the sunrise around Wild Dunes! Not a lot of people have patience for toddlers and ours was quite fussy this particular morning. To be honest I was worried we wouldn’t get any good photos, but they turned out GREAT! Emerson was calm and was so sweet to our little boy! Feeling comfortable and trusting your photographer is so important and now we have great family photos to capture our Summer at the beach with our 18 month old! We loved Emerson and can’t wait to see what she does now that she’ll be in photography full time! We can’t wait for her to capture our family in the future!”

— Ashley

"Emerson was a joy to work with from booking to final gallery. In choosing a location, she took the time to explain pros and cons. My family was able to confidently choose a location to shoot at. She even gave advice on outfits! During the session she put us at ease and gave great posing guidance. During the editing and final gallery selection, she was quick and attentive to what would make us happy with the results. An added bonus was we got to select the final pictures. You will not regret booking with Emerson!!"

— Anne

“Emerson did an amazing job capturing the most adorable heirloom photos of my two littles. It is no easy task wrangling toddlers and she still managed to get the best shots of mine, while remaining calm amongst our chaos. She is always so sweet and I love catching up with her during our sessions. Contact this gem of a human for some heirloom photos to treasure forever!"

— Stefany

“I absolutely knew one day, that my husband and I would like to get professional pictures done on Rainbow Row. I researched quite a bit prior to our vacation and fell upon Emerson Grace Photography. Emerson was a dream to work with! Prior to the photo shoot she brainstormed picture locations with us since we are from out of town. She then walked us through the entire process of her photography contract. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and was so kind!! We felt 100% comfortable with her and she even made us laugh giving us the best candid shots. She edited our gallery very quickly and we had our pictures back in less than a week. I highly recommend Emerson and hope you have the privilege of working with her at your next photo shoot. Thank you, Emerson for our wonderful photos, we will cherish them for a lifetime!"

— Laney

“Emerson is truly the BEST! She did my son & daughters heirloom pictures, and I couldn’t love them more! She is always so sweet and patient with my little ones! I highly recommend her!! She’s so talented!"

— Kelsey

“Emerson was a dream to work with! She was so sweet and relaxed! Taking pictures with a 2 year old and 5 month old can be stressful and Emerson made it easy! She told us as soon as she had a good picture of our family so we could just relax and have fun then. The result was some of the best family pictures we have gotten and will treasure for years to come!”

— Courtney

“We cannot express enough gratitude for such beautiful quality heirloom portraits of our little girls. Emerson has such a talent for capturing their unique personalities— she is pure joy and a true delight to work with, which evokes the best smiles even from the youngest of clients. We are repeat customers and will continue to be so!”

— Megan

“We have gone to Emerson twice now and are absolutely in love with our photos! We did two separate sessions, both on the beach. We did our first over July 4th weekend and the pictures are absolutely stunning! Emerson is so talented that we were blown away when we got them back. She told us it would be maybe a week to two week turn around and we got them back quicker than that! She was also extremely courteous with the time and knew the right poses and angles for us. When it came time to get our Christmas photos done, we just knew we had to go back to Emerson because we didnt want anyone else! This time, we had our dogs with us which we were extremely nervous since they can be short tempered. But Emerson was absolutely great with them and took the most perfect pictures with them looking! She had incredible patience with them that we are extremely thankful for. She always makes us feel so comfortable that there is no where else we would want to look for photos. Thank you so much again Emerson, we love everything you have done for our family!”

— Tyler & Bayley

“Emerson is an amazing photographer!! She did our family photos and honestly, these are the best photos we’ve ever had taken! She was super patient with my rambunctious 4 & 3 year olds and I was shocked she got such amazing shots between the crazy faces they were making, haha! I’ll treasure these photos for a lifetime! Thanks, Emerson!!”

— Jen

“We had the absolute best experience! We did a family photo shoot with a 3 month old baby and a 12 year old dog. From beginning to end, Emerson made us all feel so comfortable and at ease. She made getting the photos look easy (I can’t imagine that it is, but she made it feel that way). It was probably the least stressful photo experience we have ever had. We ended up loving SO many of the photos that we couldn’t even choose which to get - again, with a baby AND a dog in the mix, that is just so impressive on her part. We cannot recommend her enough - you will not be disappointed!”

— Lisa

"I cannot say enough good things about Emerson. She took a super windy beach shoot, silly kids with fake and exaggerated smiles, tons of sass/orneriness and turned it into the most special memories for us to have for a lifetime. She is patient, creative, super talented and just an absolute pleasure to work with. If in the Charleston area - you most definitely need to book her for your photos."

— Libby

“I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to leave a review! Emerson is absolutely the best. Not only is she an incredible photographer but she’s an even better person. She is always so welcoming, kind and patient. There is no one else who I would want to capture my family in each season. We are so grateful for her and we highly recommend her to anyone and everyone in the Charleston area!”

— Lexi

“Emerson’s personality paired with patience (with three littles) made our heirloom session a breeze. She made sure we got all the expressions we were hoping for and somehow managed to entertain my other two kids at the same time. I love that she lets you choose from the raw photos!! We will be back and cannot recommend her and her services enough!”

— Caroline

“We had a couples session with Emerson last year and I loved every minute of it! She was so easygoing and fun to be with! As a fellow photographer myself I prioritize the experience more than anything and was so happy with how I felt throughout the whole session with her. Not to mention our gallery was PERFECT!! I look forward to our next session with Emerson :)”

— Belisia

“Emerson is not only an incredibly talented photographer but a patient and amazing person! We had a wild 2 year old running around and newborn twins but she was able to capture the sweetest photos. I would highly recommend Emerson for any photography needs…especially for family’s!”

— Hilary

“We absolutely loved our photo session with Emerson! Our original photo day was projected to have bad weather and Emerson contacted me several days in advanced to let me know and see what other day could work to reschedule. I appreciated that a lot so that I could reschedule my hair appt in advance and so that I didn’t get my two young kids ready to go to only have pictures canceled. Emerson was incredibly proactive about everything. Once we actually got to do our photo session, Emerson was so personable. She called me and let me know where to park downtown for our pictures. Emerson was so patient and upbeat throughout our entire session. We have an almost 3 year old and a 3 month old so that really went a long way with us. She was kind, open to whatever photo ideas we wanted, and she made great conversation. This made us feel very comfortable during our session with her. She was never frazzled as we adjusted our kids during pictures and let us take our time. Her communication with us before, during, and after our photo shoot was the best I’ve experienced. She got everything back to us and edited in about two weeks and the pictures are probably the best we’ve ever had taken. We are so grateful for Emerson’s photography skills. We would definitely use her again! We highly recommend her!”

— Kassie

“Emerson is an incredibly talented photographer! The heirloom portraits she took of our boys are truly photos I will cherish for a lifetime. They are so timeless and beautiful!

“Our experience with Emerson was one of a kind. We did a pregnancy announcement photoshoot on the beach.

“Emerson was great! I took my senior pictures with her in Charleston (being from Wisconsin, my mom and I had no idea where to go) and she knew all the perfect spots to get the images we wanted.

I recommend Emerson for anyone who wants to have great pictures and to receive lots of appraisal on them."

I would highly recommend Emerson for any type of photoshoot you are looking for in the Charleston area!”
