Emma Collins Photography
I craft carefully observed, honest images showing the humour and beauty of the crazy, colourful, everyday life that you have created, to tell a story that is uniquely and unquestionably yours. Family is my everything. Bring me all the chaos, fast pace, mess and noise. I love the rollercoaster ride of emotions, pride, exhaustion, joy, and all the laughs and tears these bring.

We have days with big celebrations and exciting adventures, but it's mostly made up of small moments and routine days that make our home and our life 100% 'us'. I take photos a lot, because I know that one day we'll move on from this stage and I'll ache to remember every detail. What if you could have a photoshoot that looked in on your family and captured the real 'you'.
Services
I'm born in Canada, raised in the UK, went to university in France, and now call St Albans home. I'm mad about (and sometimes mad with) my three kids, I have an enormously patient husband who is forever supportive of my latest crackpot schemes, and we have recently added a beautiful, but rather naughty, cocker spaniel to our family.
When we have a session together I tell your story through my eyes and this is a story like no other. Emotionally and practically your life has been turned upside down, while you are adjusting to the new norm and high on an intoxicating mix of tiredness and wonder, I will record all the details, so that you can relive every fleeting moment after the haze of becoming new parents has passed.
When we have a session together I tell your story through my eyes. You may feel like your life isn't interesting, but I promise it is! Your ordinary moments are what make you 'you' and add up to a beautiful, inimitable family story.

I will show you how rich and colourful your life is, the highs and lows of your everyday, the way you play, the way you work together, the way you love, the way you are loved, your routines and rituals, your crazy kids, what makes you laugh, what makes you cry. it won't look like any other family because this is YOUR FAMILY.I'm not shooting for single images, I'm shooting for your whole story.
As a documentary photographer, I'm drawn to photographing the interactions of people in their environment and how in turn these photographs can create compelling stories. I love to breathe life and soul into brand imagery and see how it helps to build a relatable narrative and transform marketing imagery.

Fantastic beautiful photography in a wonderfully relaxed environment. Unlike expensive studio based photography, Emma really captured the essence of my family and their dynamic in an environment that was personal to us.

We had a really good photo shoot with Emma in a forest in January! Emma had checked out the location before so she knew the best photo spots. All we had to do was have fun. My girls (7 and 9) were completely at ease and Emma's photos really captured our family perfectly. I love that we could order our chosen photos in frames as that means our photos are now on display in our house. Thanks Eskimo Rose😊

With so many photographers out there I'm so pleased we chose Emma to take our family photographs. It was relaxed, fun and the photos are absolutely cracking. Definitely will be using her services again.

Emma was such an easy person to work with and put my children at ease from the start. The photographs are exceptional and I couldn't be more pleased. Emma sees more with her camera than the human eye can see and that shouldn't be possible!
