    My Own Family!

    Posted inmy kid,my life

    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!

    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….

    Posted inmy kid,my life,photography geekyness

    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. :)

    lucky & loved

    Posted inbaby,my kid,my life,newborns,Uncategorized

    Sweet baby A is a very lucky little fellow. His mama and papa have wanted to meet his sweet face for a long time. You might remember their belly session here. Well the wait, wanting and work paid off, little Mr. A is nothing short of divine. I am not sure how a baby could be more loved :) It was my honor as a friend to come by and take a few snaps of the little fellow last week. The little dude would have nothing of the idea of sleeping or laying down on his own, but we still got a few sweet ones. He is so tiny and perfect!

    ahhh, ok on to the baby photos:

    Faces set

    so awake and alert for a week old guy! I love his little pursed lips. :)

    bitsobabyasher

    I always love to get the little bits. They change so fast at this age, almost daily! I love the tiny baby pieces that so soon become big.

    daddyhands

    Such a proud daddy. :)

    babyAsherPeek-20

    awww that little face. I could have photoshopped out his scratch here, but mama thought it made him look tough so I kept it on. :)

    mamashoset

    Nothing sweeter than a mother and child. This little guy has no idea how lucky he is to have such an amazing woman as his mama. This is the photo I have wanted to do for you for so long Sho, i am so glad we got to do it. You are already such an incredible mama! I am so happy for all of you. This little guy is amazing. I can not wait to see him grow in to a little dude. Congrats again! I will have more for you soon. :)

    xo em

    oh and a special thanks to my lovely assistant for helping me out with the photos. ;) I heart you banana girl.

    FOUR! (just in time)

    Posted inmy kid,my life,Uncategorized

    Happy Birthday to my sweet, lovely, kind, sassy, infuriating, wicked smart, hilarious, goofy, perfectly imperfect, little girl.

    We had a grand day of delicious food, shoe shopping, zoo animals, toy stores, visits with friends and pajama-movie parties.

    We are a little tuckered out, but I could not let the day pass with out posting some birthday love for my little diva on the blog.

    Here are a few snaps from our ZOO visit this afternoon.

    bdaydivaset

    such a goofy girl.

    setforblog

    We saw some super cool things at the Zoo, including the brand new baby elephant! He was so very cute. We even brought one of the while beasts you see above home. :)

    usset

    and a rare appearance of the rarest of all beasts, the Mommy/Redhead photo! Even if she is being grumpy and refusing to smile, and it is not so flattering of me, having a photo of the two of us is so nice. :)

    We still have a few social events tomorrow and then the big PARTY on Saturday. It is going to be quite the long weekend, I am sure I will be posting more, but for now just a bit of birthday love. You are my favorite person in the whole world honey, and I would not change anything about you for the world.

    xo mama/em
