Emily and my, mine and Emily's?

How should I write this?
"please fine enclosed mine and Emily's pictures"
Or should it be
"please find enclosed Emily and my pictures"

Generally, for the sake of politeness, the "other" person is mentioned first. So, it would be Emily's and my pictures. I find this awkward, as I assume you do, so I would say Emily's pictures and mine.
