Emma van Bergen Photography

I aim to create an experience for my clients that I’d wish for myself—one driven by empathy, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and true dedication. As a photographer, I seek out moments of intimacy, connection, and emotion, and strive to create photos that reflect the authenticity of the present while lasting a lifetime. Based in New York City (and born and raised in Queens)!

Blending an authentic documentary approach with guidance and expertise, I step in and take the lead when you need support, while making it a priority to fade into the background and let you live in the moment. I work from a place of sincerity and respect the importance of each once-in-a-lifetime moment, from first kisses to first birthdays. Photographs are historical, familial, and personal artifacts that allow you to return to past moments of your life, and I sincerely value them as such. — Interested in learning more?
