Emma Pirtle Photography

I’m Emma & I love the sound of waves on the beach, hot coffee on a Sunday morning, the 4 seasons of Michigan (but mostly summer), travel, college football & creating art. I specialize in photojournalistic portraits & weddings. I was an elementary school art teacher so creativity has always been part of my story & I’m lucky enough to do what I love. I have three kiddos who are growing up way too fast- sometimes the days drag on and on, but the years are flying by. I love portrait photography because it freezes a moment. A smile, a laugh, a pout or a full out screaming tantrum cry-- it's all authentic and real life. Trust me, I know.

I use natural light and primarily outdoor locations for my photography because I think it lends to the authentic feel of the photos. I love the interactions between family members, the connections and the relationships. I want to give you a little piece of your story that you can keep forever! So, while I’m not chasing my own kids around, let me chase yours and give you a small slice of life to put up on a wall, or send to grandma and grandpa, or to open up any time you want to remember what life was like right now. I’d love to chat! You can contact me at (personal information protected by Zola)
