photographer, mother & creator

SO, I’M EMILY

Probably one of the most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet and can talk the hind legs off a donkey but rubbish with words, I say what I see – I have no poetic voice – I crave it - but it’s not a fluent language to me. My photos say what I have no words for and where I have learned over time to have my artist's voice and be heard through emotional storytelling photos.

I am a mum to a little boy and girl, becoming a mum changed me so much, I found out who I truly am and what I am honestly capable of – its pretty extraordinary really. My children are quickly growing up, I try my best to capture every moment – they are the typical photographer’s kids and are only interested when there’s something in it for them. I know all the bribery tricks in the trade but also have learned how to silently document and capture the moment. As a family we love love love music and try and get to a few different festivals every year, dressing up, dancing, and being outside is where our hearts are at. We also have a huge love for Sennen Cove, Cornwall where we try and spend most school holidays. Days on the beach, with a picnic bag, buckets, and spades – My idea of heaven. Long live these days. I remember reading “You get 18 delicious summers with your kids, make them count” that’s something that’s stayed in my mind.

 

E T H O S

I am a Perfectly imperfect sort of person, being a lifestyle photographer I have a way of capturing things. I love natural and real photos that represent the now, I am not a say “cheese” sort of photographer, totally the opposite actually, the less you look at the camera the better.

Capturing the love, emotions and connections is right up my street.

 

My Story

So me personally, I have a massive love for anything vintage and retro, mainly 60s/70s, and used to be a vintage clothing trader – which I adored and still dabble in bits and bobs. My problem now is, the hoarder in me tells me not to sell anything – as I might be able to use that in a shoot! I struggle with Mum's guilt often, Love housey stuff but hate housework. I love my huge family and my heart aches to think of lonely people in the world. I spend a lot of time with my Grandad these days in fact the photography thing started because of him in 2018. He gave all his grandchildren a cheque each to use as we wished. I brought myself an entry-level DLSR camera and a lens I could afford and off I went, photographing anything and everything. I have always been a lover of art, creating and “faffing” as I call it and there Emily Ramm Photography was founded.
