For those of you who don't know me I am 28 years old, from Salem MA. I work as a sports photographer primarily in the boxing business. I have shot almost everything and after going to art school, almost, nothing shocks me.
I love to hang out with my family and friends, covering fights and travel and enjoy life.
I have owned Emily Harney Photography for 8 years and have worked with some of the greatest fighters to ever enter the ring. With the motivation and support of my family, friends and of course the fighters, I am following my dreams to be the best boxing photographer to ever be ringside. In 2006 I was honored to accept the name "The 1ST Lady of Boxing", a nickname given by my fellow boxing friends in the business and that I hold with great pride.
People always think I got into boxing because of my husband (don't have one), my boyfriend (whoever that is) or my DAD (I brought him to his first fight). I fell in love with this sport after Bobby Tomisello RISKED and LOST his life because of what he believed in and loved. I was shocked to see that for VERY LITTLE money and a televised fight he did risk it all, with all his heart and sole, only to loose his life at the age of 25. After learning of this, I knew I had to see what this business was all about. I had to find out if there was more to it then what I was reading in the news and seeing on TV.... of course there was. It became a reality to me that these fighters were not getting the coverage, respect and understanding that they deserved. My hope....is that the people who know me will take a second look at the sport of boxing and support it, not for my sake but for the fighters sake.
The boxing business is like nothing else you will ever experience. I LOVE IT and I LOVE MY FIGHTERS!

I believe:
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. WHAT DOES NOT KILL ME, WILL ONLY MAKE ME STRONGER. LIFE IS A GAME, DON'T STOP PLAYING IT.... IF YOU DO, YOU HAVE TO START IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
LIFE CAN'T ALWAYS BE PEACHY, SOMETIMES IT'S A LEMON.(SQUEEZE IT) HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF, IF YOU DON'T, NO ONE ELSE WILL.
LIVE EVERYDAY TO THE FULLEST, IN A SECOND, IT CAN ALL CHANGE. TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.
RESPECT ALL UNTIL THEY DISRESPECT YOU.
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, THERE YOURS AND NO ONE ESLE'S.
LOVE LIFE, THERE MAY ONLY BE ONE.div>
