Emily made this whole process very easy to prepare for and she definitely focuses on ensuring her clients are well prepared for their session.

Emily creates beautiful family photos.

"We met Emily years ago during an extended family photo session. Recently we signed up for an outdoor session at tree farm to get updated photos. Then and now, her professionalism and quality of photos remain the same - top notch! Emily creates beautiful family photos. We look forward to working with her again in the future."

Emily was recommended to me as a wonderful photographer who is great with extended families.

"When my Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cell carcinoma, I looked for a photographer to capture outdoor portraits of my extended family while Dad was strong. Emily was recommended to me as a wonderful photographer who is great with extended families. I really liked the experience of speaking with Emily to the online system from booking appointments to selecting portraits. Emily did a wonderful job in capturing our outdoor family portraits. We will treasure these photos & memories for years to come! Thank you!!"

truly a treasure for our family.

"Emily is a fabulous photographer. She’s a pleasure to work with and has an amazing ability to capture precious moments in her photos. She has a great eye for backgrounds and lighting when taking photographs outdoors. When working with babies, she has a way of getting the best out of them with her props and ideas for positions and angles to try. We’ve hired Emily for several photo shoots over the years and couldn’t be happier with the beautiful family photographs we have as a result - truly a treasure for our family."

Her care and gentleness with our daughter surely contributed to the lovely photos.

"We contacted Emily to capture our first pregnancy and to also take newborn photos. At the maternity session, Emily’s friendly and professional demeanour put us at ease. The photos were stunning. After the birth of our daughter, Emily again took wonderful photos during the newborn shoot. Her care and gentleness with our daughter surely contributed to the lovely photos. We even learned a few calming tricks for babies from her! Between the maternity and newborn sessions, Emily perfectly captured our feelings of joy and love during this special time and we are so glad to have these photos to look back on as our daughter grows.”

Not only does she know what she’s doing with her camera and post-editing, but her turnaround time is beyond fantastic!

“I found Emily & Diamondview Photography through an “Ottawa NICU” Google search. Our baby girl has some congenital complications and we wanted to have a photographer that not only has experience with fragile babies, but with the NICU should it come down to it. I thought for sure that given how late I was in my pregnancy (30+ weeks) we’d be too late to get an appointment for maternity photos, but Emily was so accommodating and understanding with our situation. Not only did she reach back out to me right away, but she booked us in for both our initial meeting and photo session within two weeks! She made my husband and I feel completely at ease through the entire studio shoot and we left the session feeling great about the entire process – little did we know how amazing she’d made us look! Regarding her in-home studio space: it’s perfect and so lovely! Amazing backgrounds, stunning dresses/fabrics for moms, and beautiful props/hats/etc for when our baby girl arrives! SO MANY OPTIONS! Emily has a lot of different final photo product options for clients to choose from also – from digital images to canvas prints, and all very reasonably priced. Not only does she know what she’s doing with her camera and post-editing, but her turnaround time is beyond fantastic! All in all, we are so lucky to have found her and are excited to have her as our new family photographer from here on out!”

She was so gentle and patient with our daughter

“My husband and I could not be happier with the newborn photos we had done with Emily. She was so gentle and patient with our daughter, Nora, and the pictures are even more beautiful than we imagined they would be. Emily is a rare talent and we look forward to our next session with her.”

As a new mom you're always a bit nervous handing your newborn baby over to someone else, but Emily was so gentle and so experienced that I relaxed right away.

"Emily was our wedding photographer, and she did such a great job that I knew I wanted her to be the one to capture our child's first moments "on film" as well. It was a no brainer. I wanted to make sure she'd be available, so I contacted her soon after our 12 week ultrasound to book our newborn session. Actually, I think Emily knew I was pregnant before most of my co-workers did! Emily did not disappoint. As a new mom, you're always a bit nervous handing your newborn baby over to someone else, but Emily was so gentle and so experienced that I relaxed right away. My only regret is that I did not bring a pillow with me, as I should have taken advantage and had a nap while she worked her magic."

[we] are deeply grateful for the time that she has put in to getting to know our family.

"Our family has enjoyed a variety of different session types with Emily as our photographer from holiday sessions, outdoor family sessions, our utmost favourite--a newborn session--after the arrival of our third child. Emily consistently demonstrates creativity and impresses us with the attention to detail that she pays to her art. Each set of images that she has created for our family is unique and they have always overwhelmed us with emotion and appreciation. Emily's experience has enabled her to get the highest quality possible for us while also remaining calm and encouraging with our high-energy toddler, supportive to us as new parents, and tender and so loving with our newborn. We enjoyed each session that we have shared with Emily and are deeply grateful for the time that she has put in to getting to know our family. Emily's photographs will exceed your expectations, her positivity and big heart are contagious, and she will surprise you time and time again with her skills as a photographer.

Gentle, patient and caring from the beginning until the end.

"Emily was very professional, passionate and very creative. She was very gentle, patient and caring of our little guy from the beginning until the end of the session. Driving from Burlington to Ottawa was worth the drive for such precious moments she captured.
