Hi, I'm Emily. I've had a camera in my hand since I was old enough to hold one, and somewhere along the way it stopped feeling like a hobby and started feeling like the way I see the world. I launched Solis Stories after becoming a mum in 2023. Motherhood shifted something in me. I suddenly understood, in a way I hadn't before, how fast everything moves and how much we lose when we rely on memory alone. I'm a little OCD about documenting the moments that matter, and now that I have my own little family, I want every family I photograph to have something tangible to hold onto when the years start blurring. I work exclusively with natural light while my style sits between lifestyle and documentary. I'm drawn to in-between moments, unique angles, hunting for that good light, and capturing how something actually felt rather than how it was meant to look. I take a lot of inspiration from film, colour, texture and the artists I love, and I bring that into every shoot. Watching a concept come to life in front of the camera is honestly one of my favourite feelings. I love getting to know my families before a shoot. I want to notice the way light falls across your kitchen at 4pm, find the details that make your family yours, and create images you'll still want to look at in twenty years. Photos shouldn't just sit in a folder. They should be felt.
“Em did an incredible job in capturing the end moments of my pregnancy. We did a family shoot at home, she was warm and friendly, and let us do our thing with some gentle direction. My toddler loved her too; and the whole experience was really calm and organic. The end results are incredible, so glad to have captured this special time. Thank you Em xxx”

“I need more than 5 stars for my rating! We reached out to Em for both maternity and newborn photos, and we honestly couldn’t have loved the experience more. She creates such a calm, relaxed atmosphere that feels like catching up with a friend, all while capturing the most genuine and beautiful moments. Em is so kind, flexible, and approachable, and she turned around both shoots so quickly. Her talent and artistic style were what first drew us in, but she truly blew us away.”

“We had an absolutely fabulous experience with Emily! She captured exactly what we were hoping for during our newborn shoot — natural, effortless moments that feel so genuine and special. Emily completely nailed the brief, was punctual on the day, and even delivered the final photos earlier than expected. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, authentic photography.”

“I cannot recommend Emily enough! We engaged Emily for an extended family shoot in the Hunter Valley and she captured the essence of our family just perfectly! It was chaotic with 19 of us including 9 kids but she was so patient and made us all comfortable and best of all captured so many fantastic photos that we will cherish forever. There were no awkward posed and matchy matchy photos, just very casual and candid which is exactly what we asked for.”

“I literally opened the gallery and only made it past a couple of photos and balled my eyes out with how beautiful these are! 🥰🥰🥰 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am so grateful for these photos of my family and I. Emily, you are just so talented and amazing! It’s going to take me so long to look through them all because they’re all just divine!!! So many cute ones of my baby girl! Absolutely so in love with these images!!”

“Just had my second family photoshoot with Emily and I’m still blown away at the results 😍 She captures the candid, nostalgic fun feel so perfectly and I love how the colours look. The whole process is so easy and fun too, she knows how to guide you or let you just play as a family and she captures those more action moments which turn out so well. I think this will start a yearly tradition as our daughter grows up and we have more kids. The best investment to make 🤍”

“I had the best experience with Emily during my maternity shooting! She made me feel absolutely relaxed and knew how to nudge me out of my comfort zone to get the most beautiful photos. I can highly recommend her if you’re after creative and special memories for pretty much any occasion! Thank you so much Emily!”
