Jaxon is 2!

I know I say it all the time, but one of the best things about my job is watching little ones grow right before my lens. I have been photographing this little guy since he was just a cute belly bump. Then I got to meet him as a newborn, toddler and now full fledged little boy! Jaxon has stolen my heart for sure. He is sweet, smart, funny and has hands down the best little dude hair ever.

He came up to visit me in Newberg last weekend and we had a great time running around the George Fox campus. The same place in fact I did his Mom & Dad’s maternity photos a few years back!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

such a hansom little man! I love his goofy faces too. Mama was very clear we had to capture the scrunched up nose.:)

I just adore this whole family. Such lovely folks!

seriously, his hair is just amazing. I also love his hazel eyes. The sun caught them just perfectly here.

Goofy boy!

how cute are they!

J man loved the stairs too! Kept Mom & Dad running the whole session.

he was also stoked we let him go to town in the puddles. I loved his little dinosaur boots!

and one last smile. Gah he melts me with that smile.:)

Julie & Vince thanks again for trekking all the way up to Newberg for our session. It was wonderful seeing you all again and hanging with your super cool little man. I also have to thank you again for the wicked cool baby gift. My little dude will proudly wear the converse when his feet get big enough (I will post photos, they hooked me up with the cutest baby shoes!). I hope you love the peek so far, much more in the gallery soon!

just look what you can find while cleaning…

One of the many things on my “To Do” list this week is to pull out images for my new portfolio website. Each year I try and update things around here so that new and prospective couples can get a feel for what I do.

Well while digging through old files this week this one popped out at me.

Anna = Rad Bride for sure.

Do you remember Anna & Matt’s super rainy & super amazing wedding at the Oregon Gardens in Silverton? I posted a sneak peek here and a full slideshow here.

It truly was one of my favorite weddings of the entire summer.  This photo is just one of the many moments I loved capturing.  While looking back makes me marvel about what an amazing year 2009 was, I am also so excited to see what 2010 brings. I am booking weddings & filling up the Summer & Fall calender fast these days.  So many cool new couples I can not wait to work with! If you or anyone you know is looking for a wedding photographer have them contact me ASAP. I will have to cut off my summer & fall bookings once I reach my max amount of weddings so now is the time to set it up.:)

Happy February folks! Only 3.5 weeks until baby time around here!

Do you Yelp?

So I keep hearing about this website www.yelp.com it is a 3rd party review site of local businesses and services.

Well I did some digging this week and totally have my self addicted! I have been reviewing restaurants and coffee shops in my area, as well as setting up an Emily G Photography YELP page.  If you are a current or former client please do feel free to yelp away and review! I would love some additional honest words about your experience with my work.:)

When brides blog…

I have ridiculously rad clients. It is just that simple. I seem to end up working with wonderfully fun, creative, and stylish people. I am a lucky, lucky girl. One of the craftiness brides of 2009 was the one and only Emily P. Do you remember the amazing wedding, and hello LEGO cake topper! I loved every inch of their wedding.

Well Mrs. Price has a incredibly cute blog now, it is full of cute style bits,  recipes, and as luck would have it has been blogging about her wedding experience.  If any of my 2010 and beyond brides are reading this I would recommend adding PDX Cookie Jar to your blog readers. I am getting Em has some more great information out there for you soon enough!

Baby S is One!

You remember this charming little dude from the summer right? Well over the past few months baby S has turned into less of a baby and more of a little boy. Still over the top cute, he is now also incredibly charming and fast! He was keeping on my toes for sure this past weekend while we ran around taking photos at McMennamin’s Kennedy School in NE Portland.  It was great to see the whole family, hear about their amazing trip to Turkey this past fall and just hang out.

Check out a few of my favorite’s so far:

Gah that smile kills me, such a charmer!

he is also very much MOBILE, a fast crawler this one.

and so happy, especially when he has his favorite toy the soccer ball near by.  Boy is going to be the next Beckam no doubt about it.

We had fun with the whole family, clearly he is a very loved little dude.

Don’t forget his BFF grandma! These two were adorable together.

:)

Have I mentioned his smile is to die for? Such a charmer!

Again with the soccer ball. I think this one might be my favorite of the set. His eyes are just so stunning here.

And one last photo of the entire family. Such lovely people.

Jessica thanks again for meeting up for photos with little S and the whole family. I am so loving watching him grow up in front of the lens! He is just a darling little man! I hope you have a wonderful winter & spring, I look forward to hanging out with you all again this summer. I am sure by then he will be full on running, it will be a fun one for sure.
