the little redhead that rules my life

Happy Birthday Redhead!

5 years ago today a sweet, sassy, loud, kind, ball of energy came into my life.

My life, my work and my world has forever been changed.

Miss Scarlett bear, thank you for making me a mommy, and thank you for making my world the wonderful place it is. I can never explain how amazing you are, and how much I love you.

in honor of the drooly one I spend so much time with these days…

As you lovely blog readers know I had a baby just over 2 months ago, many of you have emailed, blog commented, twittered, facebooked and called with your congratulations. I have felt very loved thank you all so much! To say thank you I want to give you all something back. A blog special! Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your mama I am running a special!

Any baby or kids sessions booked between now and Mother’s day (Sunday May 9th) will come with a $50 print credit in honor of my sweet chubby babies. :) This would also work towards a gift certificate too, speaking of Mother’s Day!

I have a few spots left in May & June and lots more availability in this summer months but now is the time to schedule. Once wedding season really starts rolling my calender gets packed, so contact me today to save $50!

I look forward to seeing you all, and some new faces too this year!

this post cost me exactly one cookie

We don’t call it bribing in our house, we call it “incentives” lol.

While backing up files this week I realized that I had absolutely zero images of my little lady in my November 2009 file. Yikes! The situation had to be fixed immediately. So the kiddo and I headed out into the bluster sunday morning armed with my camera & her fashion sense.

Here are a few of my favs:

fenceset

yeah, she is pretty cute. I am not bias at all.

costmeacookie-102

This one is daddy’s favorite.

rockstarset

this one was art directed by the redhead. She told me this was her “rock n roll” move.

costmeacookie-107

and this would be my favorite. Pure joy here. :)

thatfaceset

ok maybe I take it back, maybe one of these is my favorite… Her goofy smile kills me.

costmeacookie-111

my heart, it melted into a tiny puddle with this one.

so there you have it. My kid is a goofy, goofy cheese ball, no idea where she gets it from. :)

My Own Family!

Oh my gosh! Family photos of my own family, I can not even tell you how happy these make me! I know this is the blog for my business but i could not help but share!

The lovely, talented, beautiful, wonderful Maricar Lianne (www.maricarlianne.com) took these precious images of my sweet ornery family recently and I could not be more full of pride and joy.  I tell my clients all the time it is so important to capture your family before little ones grow up, and I have been guilty my self. I went digging for a family photo a few months ago and realized we had not done family photos for real in almost 2 years! With baby #2 on the way (can you spy my bump? I tried to camouflage it a bit) I knew we had to capture our family as we are right this moment before little Griffin arrives and we are a quartet. (That is right, if you had not already heard we are having a BOY!)

So I bribed my husband and child, spent a frantic afternoon shopping for perfect attire and made it happen. During our session I also took a few of Maricar’s adorable family. I promise to post those soon! I just could not wait to show off my own!

So enjoy, and just so you know, clients I feel your pain. I know what it is like when your child acts like a beast, and your husband is done after 10 minuets, yep I so get that.

Anyway, check out our cuteness!

grandmothers, please do not look at the one on the left, most likely it will be in your stocking!

I love love love this one! Scarlett and I look like geeks for sure, but it is so very “US”!

the one on the right might just be my favorite photo of the red head and I ever. Makes my heart sing. :)

and I had to save this set for last. The light, oh the light. Maricar you got this perfectly! Even though my little dudette was being a pill, oh I love it. Who knew the hubby and I could be so cute together! :)

So there you have it, I to had my turn on the other side of the camera! And let me tell you, as crazy as it was, these are priceless to me! I hope I make my clients feel the same way some times. :)

because the blog needs some red head this afternoon….

I am in the middle of a whirl wind album designing day here at emily g photography, but I had to take a little break. I had a wonderful client call me to talk about her order and she was so cute to mention it had been a long time since I had blogged about my little lady. I checked the archives, clearly she is right! So here is a quickie post with some personal photos. These are all just snap shots from a beach trip last month (or was it July? I don’t remember!). It seems like this summer all I have done is work, so here proof we do have a family life every once in a while!

crablegssdrama

I made the mistake of telling her not to step on the crab legs. Apparently she is still freaked out about them and to this day asks if there are any crab legs around on our walks. Yeah, I scared her for life, perfect. :(

my people

The redhead and the moustache, they are my people. :)

proofiwasthere

Hey look proof I was there too! I love the one on the right, it looks like she is throwing little pre-schooler gang signs! lol. You can also see here the very beginning of a baby bump. That is right in case you missed it on facebook or twitter, there will be a new addition to our household next February.

beachfall

and this little series cracks me up to no end. No I do not enjoy my child falling, but the fact I caught this little series of seconds is the magic of a fast lens and shutter speed. She was fine, a little sandy and wet but fine.

So there you have it, our silly little family. I will do a few more personal posts later on in the week or next. We actually did quite a lot this summer. But first back to the album designing for you lovely clients out there!

If you or your family/friends are thinking of scheduling a session prior to the holidays please call or email me soon. I am starting to book up all my prime spots! I would hate to miss anyone. :)
