Why things have been so quiet around here…

Posted in Uncategorized, my kids, my life

As we announced below the emily g family went from 3 to 4 just over a week ago.

This have been great, intense, lovely, dramatic and magical. We are all adjusting and loving the addition of our little man. I have been trying to balance resting for my own recovery and capturing every moment of it with my camera. Lets be honest, the naps have won out most days, but I do have some images to show of our first week, a few from the hospital and a few from home.

I also had the wonderful advantage of knowing a few amazing photographer friends who were great enough to come over and do Griffin’s official newborn session. I will post a few of those another time.

For now just a few snaps of my own of my growing little family.

Again many thanks to all of you who have send lovely messages via email, facebook & twitter. I really appreciate all the love and each and every well wish makes me smile. :)

Posted in my kids, my life

the emily g family just got a whole lot cuter… and a whole lot busier :)

Meet Griffin!

8lbs 5oz, 20.5 inches born Wednesday February 24th at 12:30.

Lots of real (non cell phone) photos to follow, his silly mommy forgot to bring the card reader to the hospital.

Thank you all for your patience at this time, I will start back to returning emails after we get some and settled in over the weekend. :)

Why yes I did shoot a wedding 9 months pregnant… Will & Jamie sneak peek!

Posted in Uncategorized, love!, weddings

yes indeed, I am that hardcore lol, I shot a wedding just a few weeks back.

But when you have known the bride since she was 4 years old, and the groom is nothing short of her price charming you just have to. :)

Also I was assisted by the lovely, amazing & talented Maricar Lianne, I could not have done it with out her! Some of the images you see in the slideshow were shot by her.

I could go on and one about how wonderful Jaime and William are, but I am about to pop out a baby so I will just show off some of my favorite photos from their big day instead.

Here are a select few, much more in the slideshow below.

I do have to warn you this slideshow is insanely long, I could not help but include WAY too many photos. :)

decorating my dining room for Haiti

Posted in Uncategorized, photography geekyness

Last month I had the privilege of participating in an auction put on by some ridiculously talented photographers.

The website “Switch Cities“  is run by an eclectic group of wedding photographers from all over the world. A few of them met in a photographer’s forum I used to regularly check into so I have been a fan for a little while. They do some great modern scenic work that is really inspirational to this girl who has little to no talent for landscapes. Well last month the Switch Cities twitter stream was all a flutter about an auction for Haiti, it started small, but soon grew into an amazing fun raiser! The end result of two different auctions was over 4K as far as I understand. These folks did some great work, and I was lucky enough to have the winning bid for an absolutely beautiful 16 x 24 canvas of Seattle by the lovely and talented Gabe of Gabriel Boone Photography.

Check it out.

We had been searching for the perfect print for our new dining room for some time, and the color was dead on with the warm grey I picked out. And of course it was for a great cause!

Piece by piece will will get this new place put together!

because I am curious…

Posted in Uncategorized

Way back a million years ago when I was planning my own wedding online wedding blogs & planning sites were still just starting out.

Some were helpful, some were dreadful. It seems in the last 8 years (gulp has it been that long!) so much has changed. The resources online are overwhelmingly amazing. As a wedding addict… err I mean vendor, I try and keep up and see what my couples are reading.

So I thought I would ask, what are your favorites?

I have a few local blogs & planning sites I love. I also adore it when former clients blog! And then there are they  national sites that have some pretty amazing visual and creative inspiration.

Then there are the review sites… I have posted previously on Yelp with great results (thank you lovely former & current clients!)

I also have a Wedding Wire page now, been working on this little page for a few months now. I have not recived any reviews on this page yet,  if you feel so inclined you could be the first!
