Emma Brown – The Art of Real Moments in Photography
Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube
This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with my friend and incredibly talented photographer, Emma Brown of Emma Victoria Photography.
Emma shares her journey from artistic teen with a camera on the shelf to a sought-after full-time wedding and lifestyle photographer in Saskatoon. We talk about building long-term client relationships, the evolution of her editing style, her favourite gear, and how she’s balancing a booming business while raising her daughter.
Highlights From The Episode:
✔️ Emma’s full-circle journey, starting with being the second shooter at weddings and offering free sessions
✔️ Her thoughtful, laid-back approach to newborn and in-home lifestyle sessions
✔️ A peek into her go-to camera bodies and prime lenses for different settings
✔️ How she handles weddings solo (and when she brings in a second shooter)
✔️ Using Pinterest and curated Instagram feeds for inspiration—without copying
✔️ Balancing motherhood with business and managing client communication with Dubsado
✔️ Why she’s drawn to timeless film photography and her goals for the next 5–10 years
Emma’s Words To Remember:
“I just hope that people look at my photos and they don’t feel staged.”
“Never let yourself not be busy. That’s how I got here—any time I wasn’t booked, I made myself busy.”
“Your goal should be to make your clients happy—and to give them a good experience and a good product.”
