is there anything better than wedding dress shopping?

It was my pleasure this weekend to hang out with the lovely ladies of AniA Collection in downtown Portland. The shop is always amazing, but the glamor was extra special this weekend with the Lazaro Trunk show in town. I was asked to come in and capture some of the show, and assist soon to be brides with photos of them in their wedding dress options. It really was such a fun time. I mean really, what is more fun thank trying on glamorous wedding dresses?! The show was a busy one, and the AniA staff was extra busy, but we all had a great time, and met some beautiful brides.

Here are a couple snaps from the show.

Flowers provided by the lovely & talented Stephanie Major with Petalos.

2011 best of emily g photography

emily — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 21:30:00 +0000

As always I have been working on a year end post. It has taken a few days as my NYE was spent capturing an amazing wedding, and the following day was spent recouping & catching up on sleep & email.

So today it was time to take a look back on 2011. It was such an amazing year. So many people came in front of my lens, and it really was my honor to capture so many weddings, couples, babies and families. Plus quite a few head-shots, non-profit events and even a bridal show.We added in a studio space early in the year, and even changed logos and looks this year.

It really was just a fantastic year. I want to thank each and every one of you for your love ans support for emily g photography. This business really is an extension of my self and my family, and all of you friends, family and clients help me do what I love. THANK YOU!

Here are my favorites for 2011. I tried to pull at least one photo from each session. I hope I did not miss anyone!

here’s to an even better 2012!

Petalos Portraits

emily — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 21:57:52 +0000

One of the many wonderful things about working in the wedding industry are the people. Fellow vendors there to help make a couples dreams come true, at the best weddings we all end up working as a team. I love that, I love working in collaboration. So when one of the most talented floral designers in the area approached me about doing some new photos for her website I jumped at the chance. Stephanie of Petalos is not just a florist, she does flowers for sure, but her real talent is in event design. She can take a couples ideas and turn them into something amazing. She has an amazingly creative eye, and the warmest smile you will ever see. I had a blast shooting some of her in the studio and then around downtown Portland.We laughed, had a drink, talked about being working mamas and made some fun images.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

As I have said before I love doing “out of the box” headshots. It was my pleasure to work with you Stephanie! I am so glad we have become friends.

business headshots portland oregon

emily — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 00:49:57 +0000

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of working with a local medical group. I have done artist head-shots before, and business/group portraits too, but this was my first time working with the medical profession. The physicians with Mt Scott ENT & Sleep Medicine were wonderful to capture. The whole office was a pleasure to work with.Who knew business portraits & head-shots could be fun to do!

Here are a few of our results:

Such nice people! I am working on a new site these days and plan to add an entire section to my buiensess portrait/head shot work. If your office needs some fun updated shots let me know! I would love to help you or your office get your best look out there.

Hey Ya’ll! I hope you all are surviving the crazy Oregon weather. Snow, rain, sleet, sun, you have to love spring in Oregon!

I wanted to blog this morning to show off a few images from my recent session for the ever so lovely Beth of www.sewbabycrafts.com she makes these ridiculously cute hairbands for little ones. I have had my eye on them for my own little lady and newborn baby clients for a while, so I jumped at the chance to work with Beth on a session. Check out a few of my favorites:

I also wanted to let you all know I have only 2 spots left in my spring mini session event this weekend! I would love to fit in a couple more cuties into my day, so if you are interested let me know asap!

Radio Radio

emily — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:26:37 +0000

Over the last few months I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Portland’s own Radio Diva on her maternity & newborn photo sessions. I have had a blast to say the least. Daria is one of a kind, so of course when the station called and asked if I would be interested in doing some promo shots for her show I jumped at the chance. Daria, Mitch & Producer Ted together equal Portland’s best afternoon radio show. It is no secret I am a fan of the show, when stuck in afternoon traffic they have kept me from road rage many a time. I had a feeling working with the whole team would be fun, and boy was I right.

So after discussing the set up, we agreed to meet at Portland’s own Mt. Tabor park and take some fun evening shots. We did a good mix of group & single photos. I could show you all a million, but here are a few of my favs so far:

Seriously these three are just as smart/funny/sweet in person.

The lovely Daria (who looks amazing for just having a baby right!)

The adorable Mitch

The wickedly funny Ted.

We also had a little fun with the kids, well Daria & Ted’s kids, Mitch stuck with some greenery.

A few more head shots.

we also lucked into some pretty sunset light, these might be my favorite of the whole set.

did I mention that we laughed allot that night? Uh yeah we did.

After we got plenty of the head shots & group shot we did one of the whole motley crew. We had to get a few with Ted’s wife Jordy & Dallas who were hanging with the kiddos while we shot. Little Mr. Xander was all tucked into Daddy’s chest so we let him be.

I love my job, I work with some amazingly beautiful children, I am very lucky. I have had the pleasure of capturing Daria’s little guy Xander who is the cutest and I adore him. But that night I got to meet Ted’s little one Evangeline. She is nothing short of stunning. While we were waiting for the whole crew to get there I got to snap a few of the little diva. She is just too lovely not to share.

Please note Dad & Baby’s matching shirt dress, how cute is that! And Ted’s wife Just as lovely.

So there you have it. An insanely long post, with many many more to come. Daria, Mitch & Ted thanks again for trekking out in the heat for the session. I will have the whole huge gallery for you very soon! I hope you can use some from our fun evening on your new website.
