FARRAH EMAMI PHOTOGRAPHY

Hi! I’m Farrah - Photographer. Educator. Parent. Artist.

Hi! I'm Farrah (she/her). I grew up in Northern Colorado and am very thankful to call the mountains home. I am half Iranian and speak Farsi. I am a Virgo, the oldest of four, and I love Studio Ghibli movies! In addition to being a photographer, I am also a high school art teacher where I get to see the beauty of my student’s self-expression in their artworks every day. I have a Bachelor of Arts in fine art photography and art education and a Master of Arts in educational equity and cultural diversity. I am deeply passionate about human rights and social justice. I love to drink coffee, paint, shoot film, go on hikes with my husband and toddler, read books, and be outside.

It's her greatest honor and joy to be a part of these one-of-a-kind moments.
