Hi, I’m Emma Shane.

I’m a Nashville-based photographer, and I love capturing the moments that feel real, joyful, and alive. I shoot both film and digital, blending documentary storytelling with a timeless approach—so the photos you receive aren’t just pictures, they’re memories you can bring into your home and live with every day.

I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, honest moments—the stolen glances, the laughter that bubbles up unplanned, the small gestures that tell a bigger story. Those are the moments I live to capture, and the ones I hope you’ll treasure forever.

When I’m not behind the camera, life is full and messy and wonderful. My husband, Hogan, and I share our home with our spirited black Border Collie, Lilly, and we foster babies, which keeps our hearts full in ways I never imagined. We love cooking, playing games, exploring new cities, soaking up time at the beach, and just enjoying cozy corners at home.

Photography for me isn’t just about documenting a day—it’s about celebrating your story, honoring the people you love, and creating art that you’ll actually live with, every single day.
