Thank you for being here

Hi! I’m Emily Manthei, a photographer based in Omaha, Nebraska. My passion is capturing the moments that often go unseen and capturing what makes life memorable.

While much of my work centers around animals and animal-related events, I’ve also expanded into milestone photography such as graduation portraits. Whether it’s the bond between rider and horse, the rush of an event, or the pride in a graduate’s smile, my goal is to preserve those fleeting moments so they can be relived for years to come.

Photography, to me, isn’t just about the image—it’s about the feeling behind it. Every photo should carry the memory, the motion, and the emotion of the moment.
