Ready to Capture This Sensational, Wonderful Life

Hi, I’m Emily! I love photography and everything about it. I find it so fascinating that it’s one of the only mediums of art that allows a memory to be frozen in time, even just for a second. With that being written, my life is made whole when I’m capturing moments that last a lifetime; and the bonus is the interesting people with whom I’m able to connect.

I’ve photographed a wide variety of events; from beautiful weddings to large amounts of content for high school yearbooks. I remember when I first received a letter in the mail saying I was accepted to Sheridan College for their Bachelor of Photography Degree Program and how thrilled I was. I couldn’t wait to get my feet wet and explore the art of photography. Now, three years later, I can say that I’m even more excited to graduate and carve my place into a dynamic and ever-changing industry. I’m unsure exactly where my degree and energy will take me, but I think that’s what’s fun about it. Life isn’t about having everything decided for you. It’s about seizing particular opportunities that come your way and there’s added excitement when a few surprises are thrown into the loop.

Karen was so kind and generous to take me in as a co-op student and allow me to complete all my hours, as it is a requirement for graduating. Having worked with her for only two short weeks, I have already learned so much. I’ve become quick to realize that being a photographer is definitely not just about taking a memory card full of photographs. It’s about being social, organized, thoughtful, and in most cases – a businessperson.

I can’t wait to open my mind to many more things during my time here. To learn everything from Karen that I possibly can. Some days might be a bit stressful, but that’s a given. Others, however, may include the swaddling and cozying of tiny, precious humans; and who can be stressed when you’re in the presence of a miracle.


About The Studio

Karen Byker Professional Photographer Grimsby Ontario Canada Square (2).jpg

Hi there, I'm Karen Byker from Grimsby, Ontario, Canada. I'm obsessed with newborn baby yawns, giggling kids and fancy flavoured tea.

I'm a mother of four that understands the overwhelm of the every day, but I've learned how to embrace and enjoy the beauty of it. I believe we should be able to enjoy this life we chose.

I've been a professional photographer since 2005. I've helped hundreds of mamas to slow down, pause and use photography as a reminder to take a breath.

I'd love to talk with you about documenting the beauty through your chaos. Let's chat!
