Hey there! My name is Emily Zapata

I’m first generation Colombian-American (visit Colombia, I promise you’ll love it), I have a mild obsession with coffee, I love traveling, I’m a singer (I have a B.M. in jazz voice), and I’m a nostalgic old soul who would love to raid your grandmothers closet!

From the moment I had my first camera, I was intrigued by the thought of capturing emotion. A photograph, much like a time machine, has the ability to bring us back to the fleeting moments that make up a lifetime. The moment you knew they were the love of your life, that time you ate the best ice cream, or the day you just felt cute and wanted the world to feel it too!

Whether we work together on the telling of your love story, a headshot, or a commercial project, my main objective is to document the present, this exact moment.
