who is EMILY ANN RUSSELL PHOTOGRAPHY & design?

I feel so honored to be part of your special life moments. So it’s my turn to share a little bit about me. I hope this helps you to feel less like strangers and more like a friend!

hi, I’M EMILY

And this is my little family.

We live in the Loveland area and have 2 dogs. Currently it’s just me, my husband, and our daughter. Becoming a mother has helped me feel so much more confident and comfortable during photo sessions. When I say I get meltdowns, I TRULY GET IT!! I know that things go wrong. I know how to roll with the punches.

We love the outdoors. Spring and summer you will find us hanging out in the yard until the sun goes down. We love local places like the zoo and library. We love watching Bluey and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

We love to laugh. We play hard, and get muddy. This is who you are supporting when you book me to capture your important memories. We thank you greatly!

professionally & PERSONALLY

My hobbies include reading, art, and obviously photography. I’ve been experimenting with film photography and digital art on my ipad. I love golden hour and sunsets. I love being near water, lakes, oceans, and rivers. My favorite place I’ve ever travelled to is Seattle. Mt. Ranier took my breath away. My favorite food is pho. I love soup!

I graduated NKU with a BFA in visual communications & design. I’ve worked at a daycare, as a nanny, and a groom at a horse farm. Currently I freelance as a marketing designer for local businesses (both small and large). And then the rest I fill in with family photography.

In college I took a photography course and fell in love. Once my niece and nephew were born I couldn’t stop taking photos! I wanted to document EVERYTHING.

After my daughter was born I decided that being away from her all day long wasn’t going to work for me. I took the biggest leap of faith and quit my comfy corporate job and dove headfirst into freelancing & photography. I’ve been photography families full time for 4 years now. Part time for 12 years.
