Emily Vance
With over a decade behind the camera, photographer Emily Vance planted her roots in the desert. After growing up in the ever so rainy Washington state, a short trip to the desert immediately felt like home. Just a few months later, Emily and her husband packed up their belongings and hit the road. The two have been living in the East Valley for two years. Her background in portrait and event work contributed to the creation of The Masked Portrait Project. Emily has always strived to use her talent to give back to the community. She has spent the last two years volunteering as a photographer with Together We Rise, capturing Disney events and adoption days. Emily attended the Art Institute of Seattle and is now finishing up her art degree at Arizona State University.
Emily is inspired by natural light and emotion, which can be seen throughout her work. She strives to capture truly special moments in life, whether that be a romantic wedding day or a quiet moment during an in home session. Along with capturing milestones, Emily has had the opportunity to work with several international wedding gown designers. Emily has been featured on Fox 10, Voyage Phoenix, and Overnight Prints. When she is not working, Emily can be found spending time with her husband and dogs, reading mystery novels, and listening to true crime podcasts.
