Emily Zoe

Slow Form Intimate Female Portrait Photographer


 


Meeting Emily Zoe was a pivotal moment in my journey of self-transformation, a serendipitous encounter that felt nothing short of destiny. From our very first consultation call, I sensed an underlying depth in Emily that goes beyond her work. She has an undeniable profound ability to capture more than just images, but the essence of a person's soul with an effortless grace.


For years, I had been on a path of rebuilding, anchored by a promise to myself: "Before I turn 30, I want to be in peak health—mind, body, and spirit." Achieving this milestone was about more than just physical health; it was a holistic transformation that deserved to be celebrated in a meaningful way. Weeks after turning 30, a moment of kismet occurred when Emily and I aligned, allowing us to honor this journey with my first photoshoot with her, marking the first time I truly saw myself.


The experience was transformative. When Emily shared the gallery of photos, I was left utterly speechless. As I scrolled through each photo, I found myself in awe, needing to remind myself that the person in these images was indeed me. Emily had not only captured my likeness but had also managed to reveal a version of myself that was so raw & real, yet someone I had never truly seen. She created a space that allowed me to see my own beauty—not just the struggles & triumphs that shaped me but the inherent grace & strength I carry.


The emotions that this experience evoked are difficult to describe. Joy, tears, & overwhelming gratitude barely scratch the surface. Emily's gift goes beyond photography; she has the unique ability to foster a space where individuals can confront & embrace their true selves. Through her lens, I was able to see not only all that I had overcome but also the beauty I animate—a beauty I had never been able to see before.


Working with Emily was a profound step in my transformation, a celebration of reaching a place of health & wholeness I had promised myself. Her work is a reminder of the power of seeing & being seen, a testament to the transformative power of truly connecting with oneself. For this experience & the invaluable gift of self-recognition it has brought me, I will forever be grateful.
