Capture Your Story

 

Public Galleries

I often take photos for fun at public events around Halifax or head off on adventures of my own capturing images of people and animals all over the city! I'm happy to provide those shots for download and sharing. You can find galleries of my free public work below, all I ask is a tag on social media if you're posting your images! Did I take your photo and you haven't seen it in a gallery? Shoot me an email and I'll get back to you.

Have I stopped you to take a few photos of your cute pup around Halifax? You can find all the images from my HaliDogs series in this gallery! Images are free to download in web and high resolution. If you post them social media tag me @mjphotographicshfx!

About Me

Photographer & Artist

Hello! Welcome to MJ Photographics! I’m Emily, an artist and photographer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I have many passions in life but photography has been with me since I got my very first 35mm camera for Christmas at the age of nine! For me photographs are physical memories and I love capturing those memories for my clients and myself, whether it’s a family photo, a pet portrait, a headshot for work, or part of a personal artistic project....read more

What My Clients Say

I’ve never had a headshot that has ever looked and felt like me. Emily made me feel so incredibly comfortable, made me laugh, and knew how to make sure that I was never in my head. All communications were so easy and lovely.


I opened my gallery of proofs and I started crying because I was looking at all of the shots and I could see that Emily saw my beauty and translated that into the camera. It was so difficult picking favourites because they all captured me so well and showed my whole essence. I couldn’t be happier with my headshots and I can’t wait to work with them in the future.


Thank you thank you thank you 💕

What My Clients Say

We had such a great time shooting with Emily. They were able to catch our dogs being the ridiculous peanuts that they are. They had tons of easy suggestions and were going with the flow so the photos feel very authentic. It was relaxed and fun and they even managed to catch a picture of my husband smiling…which deserves an award. We’re very lucky to have these memories of our little fur family. Thank you!!!"

What My Clients Say

“Emily took photographs of our private wedding ceremony in 2017. It was just us, our witnesses and a Justice of the peace. She captured so many intimate and group moments, and even though we were a small group in a small space she was able to capture multiple shots from different angles. Afterwards we got some outside shots. I was so pleased with the photos, and still look at them often. Wide variety, and very well edited. Love that I got colour and black and white. Emily did a perfect job of capturing this special moment for my family.”

"Had a fun afternoon shoot with Emily. She was very present and great at keeping me engaged. She keeps on point with her schedule for proofs and finals, and is more than happy to work with you on the finished product! (I asked for a few specific edit changes and she promptly and graciously did so). Love my new shots and would highly recommend!"

What My Clients Say

“I had the pleasure of hiring Emily for a long overdue business headshot. Emily was kind, patient, and professional, and immediately put me at ease despite my awkwardness in front of the camera. Not only did they have tons of tips for how to feel more "natural" having my photo taken, she also asked about what I wanted to convey through my photo and made sure that that sentiment was captured throughout the shoot. Definitely recommend working with Emily if you have the chance!”

“Emily Jewer recently did a series of shoots for members of the Halifax Junior Bengal Lancers and they all turned out beautifully. Emily is very professional, takes the time to make sure she gets a number of great shots to choose from, and did a wonderful job of helping wrangle some very uncooperative horses! Thank you so much Emily.”

What My Clients Say

Emily was kind, professional and immediately made me feel at ease during my first headshot session in over three years! She was curious about my vision and helped me capture the intent behind my photos with her easy-going demeanour and direction.


Their website had everything laid out which made it real easy to navigate, I truly couldn't recommend them more if you're in need of a touch-up for jobs or just something for your portfolio!!

“We were lucky enough to have MJ Photography do our daughter's headshots. Emily was so personable and quickly put our daughter at ease, which enabled us to get some really excellent shots. A compelling and professional headshot is essential; we got that in spades.


The website was easy to navigate and helped when choosing the photos we would select.

At all points of contact, it was a great experience; I highly recommend it.”

“Love, love, love my sons new headshots! Emily was flexible, easygoing and very professional. I’d have to say my kid actually found her quite fun to be around and it just seemed like a great day at the park with a bonus of getting some great pictures. We would definitely get pictures done again with Emily.”
