I will never stop being grateful for the beautiful humans who have invited me into their most exciting yet vulnerable chapters of life. Growing up in Chambersburg, PA most of my life I've always had a camera in hand, and photographing weddings & families professionally for 5 years now. I know that God has put me here to uniquely tell others stories through the gift of photography. The new love flutters, the big day, the newborn scrunches, the baby snuggles, the little fingers and toes, and all the moments in between that uniquely tell the story of your life.
I love every part of this job. Meeting amazing souls & creating unforgettable moments for them to relive is an actual DREAM come true. I have never felt more myself than when I am behind the camera interacting with the couple or family but also taking moments to step back and let them fully experience their wedding day or time together as a family. This is your story & I want you to be able to relive every beautiful moment we have together.
Emily did a family/newborn session in our home. She made it so easy & relaxed with 4 kids. She made it fun and made all of us comfortable in front of the camera. She had previews to us within a few days and our whole gallery was available in a week! I love them and I am so glad we had this opportunity to use her for these lifetime memories.
Em is just incredible to work with! She makes you feel not only comfortable in front of the camera, but she also makes you feel confident! She will be your hype girl during the entire session and make sure that you’re having a great time. Em is super creative and artistic with her shots, but is also amazing at staging the more typical poses. We had such a fun time with her that even my fiancé said he was super excited to see the results, which we LOVED! We so look forward to working with Em again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent photographer who will make you feel beautiful (even on the hottest, super humid days lol)
I fell in love with Em Katrina's photography style scrolling facebook. She has the ability to capture someones story, and emotion in pictures easily. Booking her for our wedding was a no brainer. Working with her has been a dream. The engagement shoot was so much fun, and absolutely stress free. Her production of our pictures was outrageously fast and I've never had an entire delivery of pictures I loved quite like this. There is not a bad picture in the whole album. I can't recommend enough.
Em is amazing to work with. From suggesting locations, wardrobe styles that would work best, to providing direction during your session, I know sometimes it can a little awkward standing in front of the camera, and time frame of when you'll receive your images. She captures beautiful moments with direction and a little bit of candidness that gives each image a unique flare. I look forward to booking her again!
She was so personable, even in directing us for the poses that the entire process felt easy and comfortable. Even with the puppy, she was so at ease with capturing the puppy energy, rather than forcing the puppy to behave any particular way.
Then the photos we received were GORGEOUS. I'm so excited for when we get the photos printed and framed for our house. They'll be perfect! I love how much her photos express just how exuberant our puppy is as well as the love my fiance and I have for each other and our little family.

Her demeanor and bubbly personality made us feel so comfortable during our photo shoot. She made us feel at home and oh-my-WORD her skills 😍 The way she edits the shots just blows my mind! She is a flipping genius and I seriously cannot recommend her enough!

All photo sessions include access to The Tayem Photo Co. studio located along Route 30 in Chambersburg, PA in a converted historical carriage house. My bestie & I collaborated to create this studio space not only for our use but also to be a resource to other local photographers who need an indoor space to create.
The space has exposed brick, modern industrial features, and ample like from our large windows spanning the entire downstairs. With three levels of unique, simple sets.
Offering a variety of backdrop colors, lifestyle sets, and creative freedom to create one-of-a-kind portrait session!
