Native American Photographer, Producer, and Art Director

Emmerson Edmo-McArthur

With a background in marketing, production, and commercial styling, I create visuals that align perfectly with a brand’s message.

Hi, I’m Emmerson, but most people call me Emmie. I’m a commercial, portrait, and fashion photographer. I am Shoshone and Blackfeet Native American so I come from a long line of storytellers, and I’m passionate about collaborating with fellow Indigenous artists to uplift and celebrate their stories.

Photography has been my passion since childhood; in my headshots, I hold my very first camera—a nod to where it all began. For the past nine years, I’ve dedicated myself to capturing authentic, vibrant stories that resonate with subjects and brands alike.

Beyond photography, I work as a stylist, creative director, producer, and social media manager, and my commitment to collaborating with Indigenous artists fuels my mission to celebrate and amplify powerful narratives through my work.

The Only Fast Fashion I Support - Las Vegas Casino Fashion Shoot

This might just be the fastest photoshoot I’ve ever pulled off, and it perfectly sums up why I love photography! Las Vegas has always been one of my favorite places to visit, and I’ve always dreamed of shooting a fashion editorial inside a casino. Since professional photography isn’t allowed, I had to get creative. During a trip with friends (one of which happens to be a professional model), we pulled it off under the radar, posing as a group of girlfriends snapping night-out pics! It was spontaneous, bold, a little risky, and hands-down one of my favorite projects ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Working With Emmerson Studios

I typically have a 3–4 week turnaround time, but it always depends on the specific project. For collaborations, the timeline might be a little longer depending on my client load. Need it sooner? We can absolutely discuss a rush timeline, just note that rush fees may apply.
Absolutely! I love collaborating with amazing creatives! I do ask that a makeup artist and potentially a hair stylist be involved, since they really elevate the final product and help the shoot feel polished and professional. If we’re using a studio, I also kindly ask that the team split the studio cost, as I already cover all my editing tools, gallery hosting, and gear. Plus I donate hours of time editing collaborative shoots!
Yes! I love trading with other talented folks when my schedule allows. I've traded with hairstylists, beaders, seamstresses, you name it! As long as my client workload isn’t too heavy, I’m happy to explore a fair trade.
Studio fees are not included in my photo packages because every shoot location is so different. Some are outdoors, in homes, or at personal workplaces. That said, I’ve got a list of favorite studio spaces and would love to recommend one that fits your vision.
Once you reach out, we’ll talk about your vision! Whether it’s a portrait session, branding shoot, or something totally custom. I’ll send over my photography packages and pricing, which can always be tailored to your needs. Then we’ll sign a contract, pay a deposit, and start building a mood board and style plan together. I’m with you every step of the way!
My full name is Emmerson Edmo-McArthur. I love using it professionally because it makes me feel strong and confident. Most friends and clients call me Emmie, a nickname passed down from my great-grandma Emmie who helped raise my incredible grandmother.
Right now, Emmerson Studios covers everything I do: photography, website creation, social media management, and production. One day, I dream of opening a physical studio space under this same name!
