Hello! I’m Emily, a name you might have heard in the realm of Maternity and Newborn photography. If you haven’t, let me tell you a bit about myself. I’m a Navy Vet, proud Mama of two, and wife of a handsome Sales-Bro, living on our farm in Wake Forest. I enjoy baking and riding motorcycles and dirt bikes with my entire family.
I’m an internationally acclaimed and published photographer who specializes in capturing the tender moments of expectant mothers and the innocent beauty of newborns. This might be our first meeting, but one thing I pride myself on is the ability to make my clients feel comfortable and familiar, as if we’ve known each other for years. It’s one of the best compliments I’ve received throughout my career, and it’s a sentiment I strive to evoke in every session. Whether you’re an expectant mother, a new parent, or simply someone who appreciates the art of photography, I hope that my work speaks to you.
I look forward to the possibility of creating beautiful memories together, frozen in time through the lens of my camera.

Hi my name is Edalisse. I am a photographer. I photograph women….. I believe all women are beautiful in ways they do not recognize. I see past the wrinkles, the pounds and the self doubt. I see beauty from a woman’s perspective. My style is feminine, soft, and beautiful. Everything a woman strives to be. Unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes and we forget our essence. When was the last time you felt beautiful? Truly beautiful? Was it at your prom, your wedding? Do you even remember? At any age and every stage of your life I want to capture the best of you.
