intimate CNY lifestyle photography for the lovers, the dreamers and the wild
"Is hiring a photographer worth it?"
100000% ... and I'm not just saying that because I'M a photographer. I've always believed that hiring a photographer and capturing your family in your current state is crucial. I just believe it even harder now ;) Seriously though, life moves fast, and preserving this moment might just result in some core memories.
What if i don't want posed pictures?
GOOD. If you take a look on my page, I try not to do much "posing" but rather guide you through a prompt. I want to capture you in your most true self.
do you travel?
100%. In fact, most of my sessions are over an hour away. BUT if you want to fly somewhere, let's chat. I'm always done to go where ever you want to go!
What other sessions do you offer?
Almostttt anything you want to do! Weddings, couples, seniors, maternity, you name it! Have an idea? Shoot it my way!

I met Emily with Valley View Photo Co after posting in an upstate photographer needed group. My now husband and I decided to have a courthouse wedding when traveling to Utica, NY. I immediately knew it was going to be the right fit for us after speaking with Emily. I am big on communication, especially planning and out of state wedding and Emily was reachable from day 1! She kept in contact over the month between first reaching out and our wedding on 5-23. I would recommend her to all of my family and friends in the Rome/New Hartford/Utica area. She made sure that all the photos I had envisioned came to life yesterday, going down my list from top to bottom to make sure I was happy! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our special day.

Valley View Photo Co. was amazing ! So easy to work with. We based it off the weather and even switched a day to avoid rain showers. 10/10. Such an amazing easy experience! Thanks for capturing the perfect moments for us

Had a blast doing my shoot! In my busy life my significant other and I don’t get to spend much time together as often as we’d like. During the shoot, I got to see my significant other smile, laugh and spend quality time with her that I haven’t been able to in months. We acted like kids, danced around and got to be close to one another and getting some of the best pictures I have of us together. 10/10 will do again!!! Emily was amazing to work with and has a natural eye for getting those perfect pictures!
