Hi, I'm Emiliegh

Lead Photographer & Office Manager

Emiliegh first picked up a camera over a decade ago and has been passionately capturing moments ever since. Before joining our team, she developed her craft as a freelance photographer and deepened her design expertise as a graphic design student.

At Towner Studios, Emiliegh wears many hats. She’s often on set, taking stunning photographs and shooting and editing videos. When she’s not capturing images, she’s busy editing and retouching photos to perfection. Emiliegh also plays a crucial role in training associate photographers, ensuring they meet our high standards, and manages the day-to-day operations of the office and studio. Outside of work, Emiliegh treasures time spent with her husband and two sons, enjoying family adventures and creating lasting memories.
