    another amazingly beautiful soon to be mama {Portland Oregon Maternity Photography}

    Posted in maternity, sneak peek, Uncategorized

    I am one lucky girl, I had not one but two amazingly beautiful maternity clients this last week. I have already posted about Aubrey, and now it is Shanon’s turn. Shanon is not only beautiful but very kind & sweet. She and her husband Jory (I hope I am spelling that right!) absolutely glowed while talking about the new little.  I can tell this kiddo is going to be very loved.

    Here are a few of my favorites so far:

    This one was Jory’s idea, I hope I pulled off the look he had in his head. :)

    See how sweet they are together.

    Again Shanon was up for anything. The window light in their house was just perfect for us too.

    They have a beautiful home as well. Lots of art and detail everywhere. They have done an amazing job restoring the place on their own.

    Shanon & Jory I had a wonderful time meeting the both of you. Thanks for being up for anything I have many more to show you very soon! I can not wait to come back and meet your new little one in the new year as well. Have a very happy holiday season! I will have the whole gallery for you very soon.

    Another fun class of 2009 member {Thomas sneak peek}

    Posted in high school seniors, sneak peek, Uncategorized

    This weekend I had the pleasure of spending some time with Tom, another fun member of the class of 2009. I asked Tom and his family to come up with a fun creative location, and they delivered. There were far too many to choose from for one little peak, so here are a few of my favs so far:

    Tom is a theatre fan so we started out at the Portland Armory Theater, what a great location. Tom wants to be an actor and screen writer so he fit right in here. I loved his suit against the wall here.

    Tom also had such a great smile, I love the clients with acting experience, they always have the best comfortable smiles.

    I was digging this import store last weekend. So many great colors here.

    We also found some oh so fitting signage in the area, we just had to do it!

    Tom and Mo I had a great time tromping around the Pearl with the two of you. Thanks for working with my hectic schedule, the weather worked out perfectly for us! I will have the rest of the set for you very soon!

    cute kids + amazing location + stunning fall colors = happy emily {Portland Oregon Kids Photography, sneak peek}

    Posted in kids, sneak peek, Uncategorized

    I am always excited about new locations, and last weekend was no exception. When I got a call asking if I had time for a kids session at a beautiful local winery I was excited to see the place. We walked around Sunday evening for just under 2 hours and I think I could have shot for at least 2 more hours with all the beautiful buildings and locations there.  Oh and it also helped that my subjects were two of the cutest little kids I have had all season. :)

    So for their Mom I am posting a quick little sneak peek. It was hard to just pick a few, I am so looking forward to finishing the whole set very soon!

    Here are a few of my favorites so far:

    up-the-isle

    See what a beautiful location to shoot these beautiful little kids!

    mykid-106

    This little dude cracked me up. The kiddo is so cute! He made me work for these smiles but man it was worth it.

    sabine-tire-set

    Miss S was so sweet. Quite the princess in her tutu and leopard print shoes. I am going to have to track down a pair of those for my little one. I love it when kids bring the personality, and boy she had loads of it.

    picking-for-blog

    We had fun picking grapes from Grandma’s field. I loved the sun flair here with the perfect setting sun light.

    sister-kisses-bw

    And this one I just had to post. It reminds me of one I noticed in grandma’s house from a year ago.  Little dude’s face just cracked me up!

    Annie I had a great time meeting you guys over the weekend. Your kiddos are adorable, and your whole family was so great. I also enjoyed the bottle of wine with dinner thanks! I will have the entire set for you very soon. I am saving a few of my very favorites of the two of them together in case they make it to the holiday cards. I don’t want to ruin the surprise! And of course another web savvy family means another comment challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I would be happy to give you $25 off a set of holiday cards!

    Micah & Micah Love on Hawthorne {Engagment Photos Portland Oregon}

    Posted in love!, sneak peek, Uncategorized

    She is a soon to be school teacher

    He is an architect

    Together they are nothing short of adorable.

    I met up with this fun couple on Hawthorne over the weekend to do some engagement photos. We had a good time walking around the area and finding cool buildings to use. I love SE Hawthorne, there are endless possibilities, every time I shoot there I find something new. Micah & Micah humored me with my crazy ideas. I will be shooting their wedding this summer and I can not wait! From all the reports I am getting it should be a beautiful affair.

    Here are a few of my favorites so far:

    These two have been together since high school, how sweet is that.

    And this crazy blue green wall, I had to tone it down a TON. Talk about bright whew. I loved all the fall tones we had going on that day.

    The soon to be Mr. & Mrs.

    How perfect is this wall mural! I have so many fun variations of this shot. It was just too perfect.

    I loved the super tall window here. I think this one would look great printed large.

    M & M thanks for traipsing around Hawthorne with me! I can not wait till your wedding, it is going to be beautiful. I should have this whole set ready for you with in a few weeks. I wanted wanted to post a bit of a teaser for you. And also because it is the season I would love to gift you a large print for your home. Let say if you can get 30 comments on this post I will throw in an 11×14 wall print on me .  Remember you can always post links to your myspace, and facebook accounts!

    So get commenting people!

    xoxo em

    lazy recovery weekend & updates

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

    We have been getting over a nasty cold/flu bug in our house. My poor hubby even came down with pneumonia! We are all on the mend now, but it made for a very mellow last week. I did take some photos while stuck inside and thought I should share a few snaps of my favorite little red head and other things.

    I love her crazy mop of hair first thing in the morning.

    Someone is still insisting on wearing sundresses even though the weather is so not summer anymore. I let her have one last weekend with her beloved frilly pink summer dresses and bare feet, but only in the house. Soon they will be packed away and toes covered with warm socks.

    On the phone with her Uncle River. She loves to talk on the phone. Between her master of the eye roll at an early age and this phone love I fear for her pre-teen years already.

    My sweet husband carves anything and every thing he can get his hands on. For the last few years he has been on a soapstone kick. This piece is for me :) I love it when he has his creative juices flowing, even if does make a mess while he is working.

    Hope you all are doing well and not being hit too hard by the start of the cold/flu season. Here is to warm hot coco and germ free homes!

    I am almost fully booked for the rest of 2008 for family/kids/senior portrait sessions. If you are looking to book in the near future call or email me ASAP. I have one spot left in October and just a few left in November. I am also loving how the 2008 Holiday Cards are coming out.  If you are a previous client and you want to order some cards with images filled from your Spring/Summer session let me know. The cut off date to get those ordered in time for the holidays is November 15th.

    It has been a wonderful year filled with fantastic clients, it is only October but I am already excited to see what the new year brings. This week is going to be a busy one for this little blog. I have two lovely class of 2009 ladies that have sneak peeks coming, and an awesome family session to show off. Keep checking back, I will have lots to show here!
