Em has been photographing animals from a young age. Photographing friends at childhood horse shows turned to teenage photography of landscapes and memories, which blossomed into a full-time job as a photographer of parks. After leaving that job, Em still sought to capture the candid moments she cherished, and thus Creeks and Chutes Studio was born.

Currently, Em is located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and finds inspiration in the vast farmland, rolling hills, and equestrian friends she is surrounded by.
