Meet the Photographer

Emma Wilhelmina Reynolds Skakel

Greetings! I'm a Berkshire native hailing from the picturesque town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts. My journey into the world of photography began when my parents gifted me my first point-and-shoot at the age of 10.

With over 9 years of experience as a proffesional photographer and 4 years in the realms of TV, film, and high-end branded photoshoots, I've honed my skills to capture the unique essence of every subject. What fuels my passion is photographing people—each shoot is an opportunity to unveil the distinct narrative that makes individuals truly special.

Beyond the lens, I find inspiration in the beauty of nature and the rhythm of dance. These elements often find their way into my work, adding a touch of authenticity and vibrancy. I'm genuinely excited to collaborate with you, whether it's for professional headshots, family portraits, or any project that helps you reach your goals. Let's create something extraordinary together!
