More About Me, hi hello.
Hi, I’m Emma. Welcome.THE SHORT VERSION
I'm Emma. Photographer, videographer, and the founder of With Baxter — a creative agency, media company and commercial studio, that believes your story deserves better than stock photos and someone else's template.
THE REAL VERSION
With Baxter didn't start as an agency. It started with me, a camera, and a belief that the South West deserved imagery as good as anywhere in the country.
But here's what I kept seeing: beautiful photos, going nowhere. Brands with incredible stories and no strategy to tell them. Business owners juggling a photographer here, a web designer there, a social media freelancer somewhere else — and a brand that looked like it was built by committee, because it was.
So I stopped being just the photographer. I built the agency I kept wishing my clients had.
Before cameras, I had other careers — and they taught me the thing that now sits underneath everything we make: pretty doesn't perform without a plan. Visuals open the door. Strategy is what walks your customer through it. With Baxter exists at exactly that intersection, and it's led by a photographer on purpose — because everything we build for you, from your website to your Tuesday post, starts with imagery of your actual business. Your people. Your place. Shot properly, on a rhythm.
It's why we cap the entire agency at twenty clients, not to sales you, but generally my clients stay for a while, so I wouldn’t wait on getting in touch, because there’s not too much more space.
Every partnership includes real shoot days, and a camera can't be in forty places. Twenty means the same faces at every shoot, a team that genuinely knows your brand, and work that never gets handed to whoever's free that week.
These days With Baxter is a team — strategists, creators and account managers who care about your business like it's ours — but it's still run the way it started: personally.
WHERE WE'RE FROM MATTERS
We live and work in the South West of WA, and it shows up in everything we make. The light, the coast, the people, the pace — this place taught us what authentic looks like, and we hold every brand we work with to that standard. Based here. Working Australia-wide.
THE BRANDS WE'RE FOR
The ones who dream big, believe in what they do, and stand true to their values. Brands and small businesses with a real story — who are done watching lesser ones get told louder.
If that's you, let's talk.
