I’m Emma Powell, owner and principal photographer and designer at Pal Photo Art studio. That sounds a lot more important than it really is, and it doesn’t really sound all that important!

Essentially what I do is work my tail off behind the scenes to make sure you have a relaxing, casual, and fun photography experience followed by amazing products and prints. Here’s what I look like working, I get really into it.

Whether it’s custom portraits in your home, outdoors communing with nature, or at your event, my laid back and authentic but honest professional attitude (better known as sarcasm with a smile) will deliver a unique experience. I’m not one to be full of contrived sentimentality, and refreshingly not full of crap. I like to get to know you and create the kinds of photos and images that really express you, no matter if you’re quiet, reserved, outspoken, or outside the box. The bottom line is that you, your business, or your home has personality, and so should your photos!

I’ve been designing digital graphics and scrapbooks for many years, and that naturally led to my desire to pursue the photographic arts so my layouts would look better. I was always “that artsy” kid growing up, never far from a sketch pad or brush. Digital photography and art has renewed my passion for the visual arts because I finally found something my kids can’t smudge, unravel, or splatter.

I believe everyone deserves beautiful portraits, no matter what your budget. I work with a team of photographers and designers to deliver you the best event coverage and photo products available.

And just in case you don’t recognize the lady with the really big camera when we meet for your photo shoot, hopefully this will help. I admit I did a little Photoshop on myself, but I figured it was finally my turn for a virtual makeover. Just add 10 years, and you’ll know it’s me!

Now, you know you are looking to break out of the boring store chain photo studio and turn your memories into unique artwork: let’s dial up the personality and create fantastic portraits!
