Iowa photographer based in Ankeny

Hi There!
I’m Emma, the photographer
for Emmarose Studio.
I have been doing photography since I was about five. I remember running around my moms house with a disposable Kodak camera demanding everyone pose for me.
I loved getting to capture the genuine moments between my family then, just as much as I love capturing the true nature of people today.
Let me capture this moment in your journey!

My Style
I consider my shooting style very candid. Posing is something that I have always found to be too formal- with a little guidance and a few jokes I’ll get a great photo. I would consider my editing style as rich, earthy, and moody.
My Passion For
Photography
Getting to capture the essence of someone's true self. My entire life I have always hated getting my photo taken because I felt like the person in the photo wasn’t me. I want people to not only feel like that person is truly them, but that they are beautiful just the way they are.
Favorites
I married my high school sweet heart 9.26.20 and together we have three animals. One kitty named Hanako, and two doggies. One bernedoodle named Bear, and a husky mix named Dax.
We chose Ankeny because it is centrally located for our family, but it also is just a great town to have a family. I love being close to the city without having to live in the city.
Coffee is an essential part of my
creative process!
I love to read, write, and watch The Real Housewives (preferably New Jersey, but Atlanta will do too.)
