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 four children (8, 6, 3 years and 7 months 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, a golden retriever named Walter and a calico cat named Hazel.

Photography is a passion I have had since 7th grade when I kind of took over my family’s digital camera. 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.

I would describe my “style” as a photographer as laid back and authentic with gentle guidance from me. Your children do not need to sit still or smile at my camera for stiff, posed photos. We can get silly and have some fun during your session! I want you to interact with them and for us to capture what your family really feels like.

Stay awhile and if you like what you see then send me a message.
