About
me
Photo by Kisha Bari
That’s me, Emily (she/her), with my then-3-year old daughter. My family and I live in Provincetown MA, one of the most unique and beautiful places on earth. In addition to photographing families since the early 2000’s, I have a 20+ year career as an artist and documentary photographer,. I exhibit and publish my work internationally, win awards and grants, and am a co-founder and creative director of We, Women, the largest social impact photography project by womxn in the United States.
I grew up working on a community farm, and still fantasize about becoming a farmer. I love traveling, making just about anything, and filling our backyard with flowers and veggies.
I began doing family portrait commissions around the time my "Cheyenne River" series started getting noticed. People wanted art for their walls, but with their own children in the images. Excited and inspired, I jumped in and have loved working with families ever since.

Of course, it goes without saying that I love photographing the beautiful chaos of my own family. It’s been a few years since the lockdown, but this essay by Emily Raboteau still moves me more than any article I’ve ever been part of. In honor of all we parents have been through, I’m sharing it with you.
