ABOUT ME

EMILY DEFONTES
Photographer + Creative
Serving Rhode Island & Beyond

Photography has always felt natural to me. I remember taking pictures with my eyes by blinking really hard when I was a kid. I notice light, movement, expressions, and all the little things.​

​

My work leans documentary with an editorial eye. I like things to feel natural, but I also love a good photograph and all the thought that goes into creating one.

​

Whether I’m at a session or wandering through a market, I’m always noticing the smaller moments that take a moment to recognize. I think the best photos come from actually being present with someone, getting to know them, and giving them the space to be themselves.

 

Whether they’re 7 or 77, I want the photos to feel like them.​

​

I’m based in Rhode Island (willing to travel) and photograph weddings, elopements, portraits, and creative brand imagery for small businesses and creatives.
