Documenting your life as you live it

I’m a New Jersey-based documentary photographer specializing in families and couples.

To put it simply, I’m a truth-seeker. I’m here to capture the life you’re usually too busy living to photograph, & to help you remember how it felt to be here, together, exactly as you are right now.

I primarily serve New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, but I’m always up for going a little further.

Hi there! My name is Emily <3

Photography is an austere and blazing poetry of the real.

— Kirsten H.

“My family and I highly recommend Emily of The Small Narrative Photography! She has captured some of my most cherished family photos from my 10 day old daughter smiling in her sleep to my 6 year old and her dad in a giggling embrace.”
