About Me

Emily C. Gardiner

Greetings! I'm Emily, the creative force behind the lens. My journey with photography has been a deeply personal one, and it took a poignant turn during the pandemic when I immersed myself in the art of self-portraiture. Fueled by a background of grappling with body image issues, low self-worth, and the constant desire to please others, I found solace and empowerment within the images I created.

If you've ever felt a connection to those struggles, know that you're not alone. Through capturing myself in a vulnerable way, celebrating the beauty of my body, and embracing the idea of claiming space in this world, I've managed to liberate myself from many of the challenges that once held me captive. It's not a straightforward journey, but my ultimate goal is to empower women and queer folks to explore their own divinity, embrace their sensuality, and be brave in doing so.

Beyond my passion for photography, I'm also a professional makeup artist, and I take immense pride in curating an unforgettable experience for my clients. Together, we'll discover and bask in the play of light, celebrate your authenticity, and take the time to foster a safe and comfortable space where you can truly feel at home in your own body. Let's make some magic! Much love.
