Emma Layne Photography | Animals, People, and More

Hey y'all!

My name is Emma Deese and I am a freelance photographer in North Carolina! Although always up for travel, I primarily work in the Surf City, Topsail, Hampstead, and surrounding areas!

My main interest in the photography world is wildlife and nature. My heart and soul feel most full when I am with animals and surrounded by the beauties of this planet. Everything from stars at night to the ants crawling at our feet are miracles, and I’m humbled every day to be around so many of them. Besides wildlife/animals, I also love to photograph candid moments! Living in the moment is a big philosophy of mine, and I love being able to capture other people living this way through my lens.

Thanks for being here! Stay as long as you'd like. You can scroll down a bit on this page to see some achievements I'm proud of, some of my adventures, and a way to contact me! Explore the website as much as you'd like. There is even a secret page around here! I hope you have a great rest of your day!

See ya around!

Even though the wildlife world is my focus, I absolutely love to photograph the amazing people in this world. I offer services for families, couples, individuals, schools, and more!
