Having Emma here was absolutely incredible because she was here to capture every single special moment throughout the retreat. We also did a group goddess photoshoot and she did such a great job at making all the women feel so beautiful and so gorgeous and really bringing out their spirit and essence. Having Emma here was so special because her energy is so present and the photos we have seen so far are incredible! So if you are looking to hire a photographer, Emma is the #1 Choice!!

Emma is a true professional. I have now used her for a retreat and for a brand photo shoot, and all the videos and pictures were amazing, not to mention her amazing, uplifting personality.

Water4Life Global started working with Emma in January 2020 and by February, we asked her to officially join our team as our photographer/videographer. She has an incredible eye, but more importantly she understands how to read a situation and work fluidly in the moment. Emma brilliantly created artistic, personal and informative stories about the Guatemalan families we work with by instantly instilling trust in the villagers. Being bi-lingual and amiable, she was able to illustrate the moment through her lens with ease. Without her camera and communication skills, we would not have been able to effectively share our Guatemalan experiences in the same way. We highly recommend Emma Pion-Berlin Visual Storyteller to anyone who values a hard-worker who pays close attention to detail and produces powerful photographs, videos and storytelling.

Anyone can take photos, but not all photographers are artists - or have the care, heart, and soul Emma brings to capturing people, moments, and connections. We could not recommend Emma more - a professional with kindness and expertise beyond her years.

“It was probably the easiest and most fun I have ever had because Emma took the time to first off, get me into my body, get me grounded, and make me feel so freaking comfortable and so seen in my skin. She was cheering me on the entire time, and by the end, I just felt so free and in my fullest expression.”

My empowerment photo shoot with Emma was so much more than empowering! I felt supported, joyful and comfortable in Emma’s hands, and came out with plenty of images that made me love myself again!
Emma is photographically talented and creative, and had plenty of ideas and direction even when I did not know how to place myself- I felt lead in a magical way.
If you are looking to strengthen your connection with your physical self through images- Emma is the answer 💖💖💖 Thank you, Emma!!!

It was amazing to have Emma create the visuals for my website and marketing material. I was nervous because I can be shy in front of the camera, but Emma made me feel super comfortable, beautiful, relaxed, and guided me with care the whole way through. She was receptive to my desires, and I appreciated her ability to capture a sense of authenticity, movement, and aliveness in the photos. She was professional, timely, focused, and directive. The whole experience was smooth, enjoyable, and I came out with some incredible photos that carry the energy of my offerings fantastically. Very grateful for you Emma!

Emma is a phenomenal videographer and photographer I hired for one of my yoga retreats in Guatemala. She created a gorgeous highlight reel of the experience, captured the magic of the event, and gathered wonderful testimonials from retreat guests. She is very professional, driven, passionate, creative and a joy to be around. I highly recommend her and will be hiring her in the future for other retreats.

Emma was such a pleasure to work with. She made me feel really comfortable during the photo shoot and gave great direction and ideas. I never felt awkward or lost. Not only was she professional and on time, but she was also soft spoken, kind, and up for anything I would suggest. From the moment I reached out to her, she was always prompt on getting back to me and following up. Her services were unique in the way that I didn’t feel like she was just a photographer taking photos. Her photos captured the moments and emotions that day. Her photos told a story. I look forward to working with Emma again and recommend her to capture your special memories and story!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Emma. From the start of the day until the end of the day she made everyone feel comfortable and amazing. Her soothing energy made her so easy to work with, both in the setting up of the shoot and when she delivered the images. She was very creative and helped me with posing as it doesn’t come naturally to me. She captured exactly what I wanted her to and was super responsive to email and text. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Our shoot was an action shoot on a retreat but I would want to hire her for any occasion!!! I highly recommend Emma!

I met Emma when she moved to Panajachel to work in the Mayan Families’ communications department, the NGO where I worked. From day one, she has been very active and dynamic. She is always positive and smiling and is an excellent photographer and videographer! I really enjoyed working with her, as she is highly professional and passionate and loves to interact with people. When I changed my job and needed a photographer for a big event, I didn’t hesitate to contact her for freelance work. She is very easy going, but always professional. I highly recommended working with her!
