Photography Sessions Made for Everyone

Everyone deserves photos that feel like them, and a session that feels good to be part of. I'm Emily, an IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC), and I build every session around your needs. No explanations required.

Whether you're disabled, neurodivergent, living with chronic illness or anxiety, bringing kids with sensory needs, or photographing older loved ones, I'll make sure your session works for you, from Chapel Hill, Durham, and Apex to Raleigh and out to Rocky Mount, NC.

What accommodations look like

  • Silent sessions: hand me a list of the photos you want, and I'll keep the talking to a minimum.

  • Sensory-friendly pacing: a calm, unhurried pace, clear guidance on what's coming next, and breaks whenever you need them.

  • Accessible locations: spots that work for wheelchairs and other mobility needs, or an in-home session where you're most comfortable.

  • Anything else you need: just ask. If it helps you feel comfortable, we'll make it work.

Accommodations are available for every session type, from portraits and families to weddings, at no extra cost, unless they require booking an additional space, like a studio.

How it works

  1. Reach out. Fill out the contact form and share as much or as little as you'd like about what helps you feel comfortable.

  2. We plan together. We'll talk through location, timing, pacing, and anything else that matters to you.

  3. Your session, your way. On the day, we go at your pace, and you get real, candid photos you can feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do accommodations cost extra?

No. Accommodations are free unless they require booking an additional space, like a studio.

Do I need to share a diagnosis?

Never. Just tell me what helps, and I'll take it from there.

What is CPACC certification?

The Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) is a credential from the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP). It covers disability, accessibility, and universal design, and it shapes how I plan every session.

Can accommodations be part of a wedding?

Yes. I'll build your timeline, locations, and pacing around what you and your loved ones need.
