  • "Wow! What a treat it was to be captured by Emily. Our session was nothing short of magic from the moment we started. Emily was reassuring, professional, prioritized consent, and was an all around hype-woman! She made posing suggestions that were tailored to my comfort and encouraged me the whole way through. Having nude photos taken is nothing short of a vulnerable experience but Emily made it feel so special and easy. When I got my gallery back I felt empowered, sexy, and strong after seeing what gorgeous art she captured. "

  • "Photos with Emily were so much fun. She instantly made me feel comfortable, and throughout the photoshoot made me feel beautiful. I’m awful in front of a camera but she was able to show the poses and help get me into the right position for the photos. She also did my makeup and it was a beautiful, natural, and glowy look. I highly recommend Emily for all makeup and photos!"

  • "Amazing Experience! I had the most amazing experience shooting portraits with Emily! She is knowledgeable, encouraging, kind, and always respectful. I had never done a “solo” portrait session before, so I was nervous, but she was very reassuring and made my session feel so intimate and personal. Emily is also quite talented at inspiring confidence and creating a “safe” space while shooting. The photos I took with Emily are my favorite photos of myself that exist; she made me feel both beautiful and powerful at the same time. If you have the opportunity to shoot with her, you won’t be disappointed!"

  • "I have had the pleasure of doing 2 different photo shoots with Ms Gardiner. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Not only are her pictures absolutely stunning, but the shoots themselves were so incredibly empowering they bordered on therapeutic. Emily is an incredibly talented photographer and she knows how to put even the most nervous person at ease almost immediately. I walked away from our sessions feeling more confident and sexier than I have ever felt. Emily also has an eye for lighting and posing that really comes through in her work. I love the photos she does because she has a way of bringing out each individuals unique beauty. My photos don’t just look like a made up, dressed up version of myself. They look like me. I wish every person could get to see themselves through Emily’s lens, her work is truly transformative."

  • Emily is the precisely perfect blend of warm and professional. She masterfully creates an intimate, welcoming space to feel both vulnerable and powerful in. She quickly and gracefully eased my nerves and directed me in gentle ways where I felt natural and fully embodied. The photos she created are so gorgeous and special, I cannot emphasize enough how perfect she is in this niche! You should have absolutely no hesitations to work with Emily, I am so grateful for the talent she so generously offers!
