CREATIVE ZODIAC-INSPIRED  PORTRAITS & FUN WEDDINGS 

Creative Portrait Photography

For couples & individuals of all shapes & sizes in Richmond, Virginia & beyond

Me too. My goal is to make this a safe space for you, no matter what kind of life experiences you're carrying. I've worked with clients who are struggling with mental health issues, religious trauma, sexual trauma — and made them feel confident in their skin through our creative time together. I welcome queer people, feminists, sex workers, bodies of all types. You're all safe here. And you deserve to feel like a fucking work of art, no matter what stage of life you're in.  

Ever feel like you're a bit of a

black sheep?

Hey, I'm Emily. I believe the “now” we are in at this moment is worthy of being documented. You don’t have to arrive to a certain place in order to look good in a photo, everyone deserves that experience. 

...in order to be worthy of documenting your life.

YOU MATTER. 

EXACTLY AS YOU ARE, RIGHT NOW.

- JADE

"Emily Patton is not only an incredible photographer, she is an absolutely amazing woman. She creates such a safe, comfortable atmosphere while shooting and she is so fun to be around! "

- MEGAN

"Emily made me feel so comfortable and celebrated my body the entire time, literally the best hype-woman ever. I can’t explain how safe I felt with her, trusting her to capture my body how I see and feel it. I felt so beautiful and it showed in the photos."
