Hi, I'm Emily Smith
Owner & Lead Creative at MLE Pictures
What started as a lifelong love of storytelling and visual arts has grown into a full-service photography company rooted in authenticity, emotion, with a glamorous editorial feel. With over a decade of experience behind the lens, I created MLE Pictures to offer a boutique, personalized experience for clients looking to capture more than just moments — we tell stories that resonate.
Founder, photographer, and creative heart behind MLE Pictures.
Our work doesn’t
Instead, it captures fleeting moments with lasting beauty.
Whether it’s a tearful first look or the candid in-between magic that makes a photo feel like an heirloom.
I believe in the power of natural light, unscripted laughter, and the little details that often go unnoticed but tell the biggest stories. Whether it's documenting a once-in-a-lifetime celebration or an intimate portrait session with your new baby, my goal is always the same: to create timeless imagery that feels as beautiful as it is honest.
Whether you're planning a lush celebration at Terrain, a chic Philadelphia soiree or a romantic elopement in Ocean City, NJ, we bring a calming presence and a refined documentary style that lets you stay present while we preserve the moments that matter.
