About Em
One day I was reminiscing with my grandma, looking through old photographs of relatives and it hit me, the 'good ol days' are happening right now but we never realize this until it's too late. Time is the only thing we can't make more of & never seem to have enough of.
That's why I strive to create more than just photos, but a moment in time you want to rewind back to. I will never make you do anything you're not comfortable with & make it my goal to bring your vision to life with every session.
Every project receives my heart & soul put into telling your one-of-a-kind story. I can't wait to hear yours. <3
“She made it so easy & relaxed with 4 kids. She made it fun and made all of us comfortable in front of the camera. ”
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. Thank you Emily!

"Working with her has been a dream. The engagement shoot was so much fun, and absolutely stress-free."
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. She was not only easy to book, but communicates with you through out the whole process. ”
Em is amazing to work with. She was not only easy to book, but communicates with you through out the whole process. 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!

“Em is super creative and artistic with her shots, but is also amazing at staging the more typical poses. ”
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)

The studio space
All photo sessions include access to The Tayem Photo Co. studio located along Route 30 in Chambersburg, PA in The Professional Arts Building. 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 10 ft tall ceilings, gorgeous herringbone flooring, and ample like from our 7 ft. black framed windows.
Offering a variety of backdrop colors, lifestyle sets, and creative freedom to create one-of-a-kind portrait session!
