hello!

i’m Emily Stadler.


My heart beats for adventure, traveling and the unexpected! I’m currently based out of Wimberley in the Texas Hill Country. I have three rambunctious toddlers (6, 4 and 1.5 years old) that keep me on my toes every day, a supportive husband that may or may not think I’m some sort of modern nomad and a golden retriever named Walter.

Photography is a passion I have had since 7th grade when I kind of took over my family’s digital camera. I used to “edit” using Microsoft Paint and as soon as Photoshop was created you best betcha I downloaded an illegal version of it to teach myself with, ha! I pursued photography in high school through academic contests and then went on to get an associate’s degree in film and digital photography. I finally ended my college era with a BS in Mass Communication and Public Relations. There is a lot of life in-between there but my main focus now as a lifestyle photographer is documenting families, couples, newborns, and maternity.

Other fun facts about me: I’m obsessed with fall, mountains and fluffy kittens (must be fluffy) I’m an enneagram 7, I like to run but I rarely get to these days, a cold cider at a local brewery with pop culture trivia going down is probably my most ideal date night. If I’m hosting you at my house it’s almost guaranteed I’m going to ask if you want to play Catan, Risk or Ticket to Ride.

Stay awhile and if you like what you see then send me a message. I'd love to hear from you and buy you a coffee as we make plans to capture your story!
