About Us
Hi! We're Emily Penuelas and Marie White — two cousins, creative soulmates, and the duo behind EMRE Collective Studio.
Our photography journey(s) began in 2019, when we collaborated on Marie’s wedding in beautiful Hawaii. It was our very first project together… and the moment we realized that creating side-by-side was something truly special. From that day on — well, the rest is history!
Since then, we’ve photographed everything from weddings to families, built our own brands, and been each other’s biggest cheerleaders through every high and low. Even though we live in different states, not a day goes by without hour-long calls, sharing ideas, laughing, dreaming, and supporting each other through it all.
Out of that love, sisterhood, and shared creative vision, EMRE Collective Studio
was born — a space Marie built in honor of our bond, and a space we now share with
you.
We’re here to cheer you on, support your dreams, and provide a beautiful, welcoming space where creativity flows freely — because we believe in women supporting women, and in helping all creatives bring their visions to life.
Welcome to EMRE Collective Studio — we're so glad you're here.
