Emily Romeyn Photography

Some sessions I walk away from and just think — I have the best job in the world.

This was one of those. These twins brought every smile they had straight into my studio and their family was just the warmest, sweetest people. I was sad when it was over honestly. 💙

🚛 Brothers.

Built in best friend. Built in hype man. Built in person who will love you longer than anyone else on this earth. 💚💚

There is a bond between brothers that nobody can explain and nobody can break. And watching a big brother show his little one the ropes — even if it's just how to properly crash a monster truck — is everything.

If you have boys, book the session. Do it for future you. 📸

Two babies. Two cakes. Double the mess & double the memories. 🎂🎂💙

There's nothing quite like a twin cake smash to steal your whole heart. These two had the sweetest first birthday session and I am OBSESSED.

Is your baby's first birthday coming up? Let's make it unforgettable. DM me to book your 2026 session in the Grand Rapids area! 🎉

🌸 I never understood monster trucks.

And then I became a boy mom.

I found them in my purse, in my laundry, under my pillow — and honestly? I wouldn't trade a single one. 🚛💚

My boys are long past this phase and I still get a little happy when I see one. That's the thing about motherhood — it changes you forever, even after the season is over.

If you're in it right now, please let me photograph it. You will want this someday. I promise.

Boy mamas — this season is loud and wild and so incredibly fast. Let's freeze it. 📸

Ever wonder what it's actually like to work with me? 📸

Let me paint the picture.

There is no stiff posing. No awkward "okay now smile at the camera." None of that. 🙅🏼‍♀️

I show up as your hype woman, your guide, and honestly — your biggest fan for the entire session. I will tell you exactly where to stand, how to hold your little one, and what to do with your hands. I've got you. Completely.

And your kids? I speak their language. 😄 We move at their pace. If they need a snack break, we take a snack break. If they want to run in circles for a minute — let them run. Because the most magical shots almost always come from the in between moments anyway.

By the time we're done, most of my families tell me it felt nothing like they expected — in the best possible way. 🤍

Easy. Relaxed. And so much fun.

That is the experience I have built — because you deserve to actually enjoy this, not just survive it.

Imagine walking into your nursery and seeing this above the crib. 🤍

Not a generic print from a big box store. Not a random piece of filler art.
Your baby. Your moment. Your wall.

There is something about a portrait hung in the space where your little one sleeps that just stops you in your tracks every single time you walk by. In the middle of the 2am feedings and the long, hard days — you look up and there they are. Frozen perfectly in time. Exactly as they were.

That is what wall art does that a phone screen never can. 🖼️✨

It becomes part of your home. Part of your story. Something your child will grow up seeing and someday understand just how deeply they were loved from the very beginning.

This is why I do what I do. 🤍

Ready to turn your portraits into something you'll treasure on your walls for a lifetime? Let's talk. 👇🏼

Hey, me again. 🤍 And this time, I'm sharing something a little more personal.

I didn't always know I would become a photographer. But looking back, it makes complete sense.

After my second son was born, I had everything I had worked so hard for — the house, the baby, the life I had dreamed of. And it was beautiful. But it was also incredibly hard. The sleepless nights. The crying. The absolute chaos of jugling early motherhood with another little one that nobody fully prepares you for.

Photography found me in that season. 📸

And it changed everything.

Because when I picked up that camera and started freezing those moments — something shifted. I stopped drowning in the hard parts and started seeing the magic in between. I don't look back and remember the exhaustion. I look back and see him. Those tiny hands. That sleepy face. Those fleeting, irreplaceable moments I almost let blur by.

That is exactly what I want to give you, mama.

I know your days are full nights sleepless and happy tears and boogers and all the beautiful, messy, unglamorous parts of raising little ones. 😅 But in the middle of all of it — there are these split seconds of pure magic. Where everything is still and soft and so incredibly worth it.

Let me freeze that for you. 🤍

Because you deserve to look up at your wall someday and be taken right back — to exactly how sweet this season really was.

Mama, this one is for you. 🤍

My Mommy & Me Mother's Day Sessions are almost fully booked — and I would hate for you to miss this.

Because here's the thing… there are a thousand photos of your littles on your phone. But how many have you in them? Really in them — present, beautiful, and captured the way you deserve to be?

This is your moment. 🌸

These sessions are designed to freeze this exact season — you and your little one, together, in the most timeless and beautiful way. No stress. No chaos. Just love, documented forever.

⏰ Only a few spots remaining.
📅 Last day to book is this Sunday.

Don't let this one pass you by, mama. You are part of their story too — and that deserves to be on the wall.

Hi, I'm Emily. 👋🏼 Firmly behind the camera — but I finally stepped in front of it.

I'm a portrait photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, specializing in true-to-life, minimalistic portraits of young families and babies. 🤍

Here's what I believe wholeheartedly:
✨ A minimalist approach is always best. No distractions — just your people, exactly as they are.
🎨 True-to-color editing is everything. Your photos should look like you, not a filter.
🖼️ Portraits should be timeless works of art. Something you'll hang on your wall and cherish for generations.
My heart lives with the babies, the toddlers, and the beautiful, beautiful chaos of young families. There is nothing quite like it. While I work with all ages, there is something truly special about capturing little ones in this season of life — before it slips away.

If you're a Grand Rapids family looking for a photographer who will treat your portraits with intention, artistry, and care — I would love to work with you.
This is my craft. This is my passion. And I pour everything into it. 📸

Thank you for the photos!

I know when you think of milestone portraits, your mind probably goes straight to newborns and first birthdays. But can I remind you of something?

They are still worth it. Right now. At every age.

Because she is growing up so fast it probably takes your breath away some days. You blink and she's taller. You blink again and she sounds more like a teenager. And those school photos? They just don't capture her. Not really.
But this does. 😭🤍

A real portrait session every year gives you something to hold onto. Something that says — this is exactly who she was at 8 years old. Her smile. Her eyes. Her whole little personality.

Mama, these aren't just photos. They're the chapters of her story. And you deserve to have every single one documented beautifully — not just the baby years.
Don't let this season of her life go undocumented. 🌸
