The experience
Step 1: Pre-session consultation
Prior to our session, we will discuss the specific type of portraits you are seeking. This will be an opportunity for us to become acquainted and collaborate on a moodboard that captures the exact look and feel you envision.
Step 2: Portrait session
Today’s the big day! I will ensure to guide you through the session, helping you feel at ease and confident in front of the camera. We’ll explore new ideas, share some laughter, and capture stunning portraits that you’ll be proud to share.
Step 3: Portraits reveal & final delivery
Following our session, we will sit together to carefully select our favourite photos & the final selection you’d like me to edit and deliver to you in the highest resolution, consistent with the style we discussed.

“She makes you feel comfortable with cameras and immortalizes the best moments of your life.”
Emma is not only a photographer or videographer, she is an artist! She managed to show the best of our farm in few shoots.
I wasn’t really comfortable at the beginning with cameras and Emma teaches me how to be natural while filming. That I believe is one of Emma’s most unexpected talents. She makes you comfortable with cameras and immortalizes the best moments of your life.. thank you Emma!

FAQs
How much does a portrait shoot cost?
Costs will differ per shoot, starting from AED 1500.
Do I need to be photogenic to get good photos?
Everyone is photogenic! And if you think you’re not, it’s time for us to change that. It’s my duty to make you feel confident in front of the lens and for you to appreciate your own unique beauty.
What do I have to bring to the shoot?
Depending on the shoot, requirements of how many sets of clothes you will need to bring will be discussed.
What is recommended in terms of make up?
Wearing makeup is not always necessary; a natural face is just as beautiful. However, when choosing to wear makeup, opting for a slightly more enhanced look can boost your confidence. Consider covering blemishes and for instance dark circles under the eyes, to achieve a more natural finish in post-production. Most importantly, stay true to yourself and do what makes you feel beautiful! Tip: Bring a mattifying powder to the shoot can be helpful in case of oily skin.
Can I ask for a professional make up artist?
Definitely! If you need a makeup artist for our shoot, just let me know and I’ll book one based on your requirements and their availability. The cost will depend on the specific needs for the shoot.
How will I know which photos are the best?
The most challenging part will be selecting photos. We often perceive ourselves differently than others do, and an image we may not recognize ourselves in can beautifully capture our personality as others see it. I am here to offer guidance and recommendations on the photos where you shine the most.
How long does it take to get the final photos?
It all depends on how many photos and how much touch-up they need. Delivery time can be between 5 – 14 days.
Can I add video to my shoot?
Yes! We can combine photo and video in the same shoot.

Short Documentary Film “Seeds Of The Desert”
I was deeply inspired by my friend and farmer Mohamed Aissaoui, whose dedication to his work and passionate plea for change within the industry were the driving forces behind the short film I created.
In 2022, Seeds of the Deserts won the “Best Short Documentary” award at the Indie-Clips Film Festival in London.
