Boudoir & Arte Nude Portraiture
"the most fun photo shoot i've ever done! the photos came out great and it was exactly what i had in mind :) usually, art-nude photo shoots are uncomfortable with a male photographer, but for me he was really professional and didnt make me feel that way at all. i would love to do a photo shoot with him again! the metallic prints are sop beautiful. this experience and product was worth well worth it"
Boudoir & Arte Nude Portraiture
"I asked Emerson to do a boudoir shoot for me because my friend, who is a makeup artist recommended him to me. On the day of the shoot I was nervous at first but he made sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot and made it a really fun experience. The outcome was amazing! I loved every photo he provided and couldn't believe it was me in these pictures.
After the pleasant experience I decided to do another shoot with him which was a body scaping. Before the shoot, him and I discussed the concept and ideas many times. I also told him how much skin I was comfortable revealing so we both had the same understanding. After another awesome shoot, I received beautiful artistic photos!
I HIGHLY recommend his service."

Boudoir Portraiture
"I did a boudoir shoot... Which, of course can be very nerve wracking for anybody with insecurities. However, I was made sure to feel very comfortable and safe in a professional setting. The images were breathtaking. I could not believe it was me on the large wall art. Thank you very much Emerson for your craft and passion for what you do."
Headshots
"Wonderful experience with this photographer. I am difficult to get a good headshot but he got it in 5 shots with my husband approving the final shot which is unusual since he is very picky. He was a joy to work with as was his makeup artist. They both listened carefully to what I wanted and delivered beautifully!"
Headshots
"Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! Mr. McArthur is super personable and very talented at his craft. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Lastly, he was instantly able to put our large group at ease and capture some fascinating photographs. We will treasure them forever. I simply cannot recommend him enough!"
Family Portraits
"Emerson was wonderful for my family with two young kids (ages 7 and 7 weeks). Our baby was a little fussy and making tons of yawning, grumpy faces. Emerson kept with us and we ended up getting great shots of both the girls. We had pictures taken in July (so very hot) and Emerson brought cold water for us all to keep hydrated, which was such a pick me up. On top of it all the photos turned out great! I would highly recommend!"
Boudoir Photography
"He was simply amazing, from the first message to the final delivery of images the entire process was impeccable. And not to mention his wonderful energy during the shoot. I’d definitely book him again."
Wedding Cinematography
"Emerson did an amazing job on our wedding videography! Great communication and excellent product. Highly recommend!"
Family Portraits
"This is the best photoshoot experience that I ever had, all the picture were so beautiful that I wanted them all, Emerson was really patient with us as my son was just running around, even so, he was able to Capture really good pictures, also the photos has a perfect resolution, I definitely recommend him and will love to work with him again."
Maternity Portraiture
"Overall AMAZING experience to say the least. Always willing to work with your schedule and last minute changes. Pictures are breathtaking and the photographer knows how to make the session so much fun! I was reluctant about the shoot due to personal reasons but I’m so glad I went for it anyways! 110% recommend this artist for all of your photo needs."
Family Portraiture
"Where do I start? Emerson was a dream to work with. We had a big, huge, rowdy bunch (including 12 kids) and Emerson rolled with it and captured our group's personality perfectly. He was patient, kind, funny, punctual, creative and went above and beyond to make sure our family had all the photos we needed to remember this precious time together. He came with ideas, was open to ours, wasn't bothered by screaming, crying or running kids. Y'all, honestly, he was the exact energy we needed for this family photo shoot. He was professional and communicative, flexible and kind. And he was finished editing our photos so quickly! Two enthusiastic thumbs up for Emerson."
Boudoir & Arte Nude Portraiture
"Emerson was absolutely magical!!! I did boudoir photos with him for my SO before we both deploy and the photos are absolutely beautiful!!! He accommodated everything I wanted in these pictures and even found ways to make me laugh so my smile was natural! Which really made all the difference. Thank you so much for the experience and photos that Tyler loves!!!"
Beauty Portraiture
"One of my favorite❤️ I was very nervous and intimidated at first. The work I've seen created by both the make up artist and the photographer were amazing, and I was not sure if I could meet their expectations. The out come of our shoot was breath taking. Some even said I could be on a post card! We were in a fun and very comfortable environment at his home studio. I will hire him again for our engagement and wedding. Amazing photographer!"
Photographer Mentorship
"I worked with Emerson several times, he provided a type monitorship for me. I assisted him during several of his sessions and editing post session and he advised me in my work as well, even provided retouching services for me. He maintain the upmost professionalism with all models that he worked with and his collaborations with other artist as well. His space is always clean and welcoming and his goal to create an empowering experience as he is able to offer guidance on not only posing and styling but always has a creative vision. Post-shoot during editing, he works meticulously, each image is given a flawless finish. I will always be grateful for all the skills I learned on customer service, collaborations, setting up a session, posing and handling clients during shoots as well as with editing software. He is hardworking and passionate about his craft and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced and talented photographer."
