I've been a photographer for over 10 years, and The Corner Collective is the space I always wished I had. It's a light-filled, lifestyle studio in Monument, Colorado, made for photographers, content creators, and creatives who want a beautiful, reliable place to do their best work.
Hi, I'm Emily, the photographer behind The Corner Collective.
Book the studio
Voted Best Portrait Photographer and Best Wedding Photographer in Colorado Springs in 2025 and 2026. After a decade behind the camera, I know what photographers need from a space, and I've built The Corner Collective with all of it in mind.
Behind the studio is Emily Jo Photo Co.

So opening a studio in the heart of downtown still feels a little surreal.
Monument is my hometown, and it's where photography first became my passion.
For years, the closest studios were in Colorado Springs or Denver, which meant local photographers had to travel or make do without a dedicated space. I wanted to change that. I wanted a creative home to offer my own clients, and a place where other photographers and creatives in our area could create, connect, and build something together.
That's how The Corner Collective came to be. More than a studio you rent by the hour, it's a community I'm building right here in Monument.
The Corner Collective gives photographers, content creators, and creative entrepreneurs a thoughtfully designed space to create beautiful work, serve their clients, and grow their businesses.
Photographers are our heart, but you don't have to be one to feel at home here. We also welcome small businesses, makers, educators, and creative professionals looking for an inspiring space to create content, host workshops, or gather their community.
