    a quick break from our regularly scheduled programing…

    Posted inmy kid,my life,photography geekyness

    We take a break from our regularly scheduled posting cute families & beautiful couples to bring you late breaking news…

    my kid is cute!

    The little redheaded diva had her very first dance recital this evening and her oooooyo gooooooy mama in between tears of pride had to snap a few. She did a fabulous job, in between perfect little ballet & tap steps she even made time to mug for the camera! Such a little goofball. Well while these are really just a few snapshots I had to share!

    hermoves

    She had absolutely no problem being out front of a crowd, yeah I think I know where she gets that from. ;)

    set

    Yes that is my girl sticking out her tongue and being a goof ball, I think she get that trait from her daddy.

    She wanted to go to bed wearing the polka dotted tutu and sequined hair band but I talked her out of it. I am sure we will see more of this particular outfit again very soon. :)

    Have I mentioned she is cute?

    Thanks for indulging me guys, more client photos soon to come!

    As if this child needs an introduction…

    Posted inbaby,newborns,photography geekyness,sneak peek,Uncategorized

    You all remember last months super fun maternity session with Portland’s Radio Queen right? Well Daria & Dallas had the most amazing little boy last week.  I was tickled to go back for another session over the weekend. He was so good for me too, the perfect little model. I could pull out the longest blog post on this one, but I will keep it to a reasonable amount. I just had to share a few. He is such a sweet boy already, I am sure he will be quite the character. ;)

    World meet little Xander!

    He was such a good sleepy baby.

    I think he might have the best newborn hair too, a natural little faux hawk.

    such a cute little boy.

    mamaandson

    Doesn’t Daria look amazing for being the mother of a newborn. No sleep apparently works for you girl!

    wholefamily

    You can tell this little guy is very, very loved. Usually I have ask people to ignore me and just interact with the baby, these two are so in love with their little dude they could not take their eyes off him! Can you blame them? Yeah me either.

    familyset

    Yeah they are in L. O. V. E.

    I also had the pleasure of meeting Daria’s mom Dale. She was so sweet, again this babe already has a huge fan club. Just look at that smile, how could you not love him!

    mamababyagain

    Daria and the new man in her life, such a sweet bond between a mother and a son.

    babybatman

    and you know we had to break out the Batman again! I could do a whole post on these, but it is already a crazy long blog post so I will just show you my two favorite. :) The only thing we ran out of time for was the Lacrosse sticks, I am thinking when the little man is 6 months old we will have to hook that up!

    Daria & Dallas thanks again for having me back to meet your little dude. He is simply divine, I know why you are so in love with him. It again was a pleasure to spend with with your growing family. I hope you are all getting a bit more sleep this week, I can’t wait to see him as he grows bigger and bigger. I am sure he will get even more fun! I will have the whole gallery for you up again soon. And after last times success, we have to do another comment challenge. I am thinking the maternity photo on the mantle needs a matching family photo. If you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post you will have another 11×14 coming from me! So leave some love people.

    family date May 2009

    Posted inkids,my kid,my life,photography geekyness,Uncategorized

    With our busy schedules this time of year the emily g family is trying to make a point to fit “family dates” into the mix.  This so no small feat with work, shooting, and nap schedules but this weekend we had GREAT success. We grabbed the kiddo, the back up camera, and some sunscreen and headed down to the Portland Rose Festival. While I am usually weary of carnies and parking lot food we had a blast. They had tons of great stuff to look at (and photograph), rides suitable for an average height almost 4 year old, and most importantly cotton candy. We were only there for about 2 hours, but it was the perfect amount of time to get our family date on.

    Here are some silly images from our little adventure:

    us

    check out our matching chuck taylors, yep that’s how we roll. ;)

    We had way too much fun with the photo booths there as well, even if we all look evil in the resulting images.

    happymoments

    in the middle you can see the red head’s “motorcycle face”. She kills me, she was so excited every time we got to a ride she was actually tall enough for.

    and on the far right check it out! It is the illusive husband, he is actually in this posting twice. I was teased recently by a colleague about how he is not on facebook and not visible on the blog, so here ya go! Handsome devil isn’t he. ;)

    mishmash

    The kiddo loved all the sites & sounds. She also scored a new “baby” that she promptly named, get this, Christina Agulara! No clue where that came from, totally had the husby and I in tears laughing about it.

    oh and in case you want to know, I rock at skee ball.

    oh-the-drama

    oh the drama, her little face is so expressive.  I am pretty sure she was begging for cotton candy here!

    All in all we had a fantastic family date. If you are in PDX I highly recommend an evening at the Rose Festival, just a few hours is fun and highly entertaining.

    Lots more coming on the blog this week, beautiful babies, cute couples and more. Check back!

    my kid is cute may 2009 addition

    Posted inmy kid,my life,photography geekyness

    I was told by certain friends and family members that it had been too long since I had posted an image of my little red haired diva on the blog. So here you go folks, miss thang in all her sassy glory. We have been enjoying the warm weather around here these days. She is getting full use of the neighborhood park while the sun is out, I snapped these on a quick visit.

    Not a real session, just some cuteness that had to be shared. :)

    juiceboxset-for-blog

    she gets her goofiness from her father for sure.

    swinging

    I am pretty sure that if there were a mac-n-cheese & juice dispenser installed she would live on this swing.

    trouble

    and this is her favorite shirt, (Trouble Maker) fitting no?

    Much more to come on the blog this week, a few more peeks and even another wedding slide show perhaps! Thanks for looking at my goofy kid.

    hey baby what are you wearing?

    Posted inclient info,photography geekyness,Uncategorized

    One of the biggest questions I always get before a session is “what do we wear?“.

    It is an important questions, and one I do not take lightly. Clothing choices can either compliment or completely throw off the outcome of your session. Clothes should show personality, but not be too over whelming. I love it when kids show up with a funky accessory, babies have a fun funky hat, or the ladies rock out with the bright colored heels.  To help guide you, my lovely clients I have put together a little clothing guide.

    You can find it here:

    This one is hot off the presses, so let me know if I am missing anything you would like to know prior to a session.
