    Posted in Uncategorized

    Good Morning all,

    I thought I would write a little blog post to announce a few things.

    First check out a few new holiday cards I will be adding to my list!

    vintage-chocolate-for-web

    boys-flowers-for-web

    Aren’t they beautiful! I have a few more in the collection in the works and I will be adding them to the holiday card page shortly. If you are interested in holiday cards this year let me know asap! All orders need to be in by the 3rd week in November in order to be send out the beginning of December. If you are anything like me you want to just get them on their way and be done with it to enjoy the holidays!

    The second is that I have one more weekend holiday session left in all of November! If you or someone you know wants to get family or kids portraits done before the season is over call me soon. I will be all full and not accepting any one else very soon. I keep the first few weeks of December free for orders and last min reschedules due to weather so now is the time!

    I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the flavors of the fall. I know my self I can not get enough of the pumpkin flavored coffee drinks. Ahhh I love this time of year!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Location, Location, Location

    Posted in my life, photography geekyness

    A little over a month ago I had the pleasure of attending a get together with some other Portland area Children’s Photographers. Fun ladies for sure. We all belong to the same photography forum and try to help each other our from time to time. I just love working with other photographers. I think it is the best way to learn and stretch my self as an artist to be surrounded by so many creative people.

    So in the beginning of June we trekked out to a random location one of the ladies knew of and took some really fun photos.

    This location is not your normal family setting. I just love all the graffiti and wild colors. I am pretty sure all the skater kids that usually rule the area thought we were all crazy taking our small children out there. But we are all geeks that love to find those out there crazy places, even if we do have to dodge skate boards and construction to get the shot.

    No really here are a few of me in action another photographer friend took of me.

    I am not sure if this is a location I would take a client to, as it is pretty rough but I do LOVE the non traditional. If you or someone you know is looking for some FUN and non traditional family or kids portraits call me soon. My summer schedule is starting to fill up, but I am always up for that next cool location. As a Family and Kids photographer in the Portland area I know there are even more great spots out there. If you have a great spot let me know! If it is really great I might even throw in a free 10×13 with a booked session to the client (new or returning) who lets me in on the secret. It does not have to be a graffiti covered wall, it can be a cool mural in a back ally, a building with some great stained glass, or even a over look of the perfect view of a city. So email or call me today, if I love the location it just might be the back drop of your next wall hanging! Happy location hunting!

    Sweet baby L {baby sneak peek}

    Posted in baby, sneak peek, Uncategorized

    Sweet baby L was one of two cousins I had the pleasure of meeting over the weekend. Such beautiful babies, but each deserve their own sneak peek so sweet baby L gets her time to shine first.

    Little L was one of the sweetest little chubs I have ever met. Just look at those lips, out of control cute. I have had a hard time narrowing down the set for the peek but here are a few of my favs so far.

    Man we worked hard for these smiles, at just 5 weeks old they are hard to come by, but so worth it!

    Can you tell where she gets her beautiful looks. I always love the mother and child shots, especially when they turn out so serene.

    The whole family was so sweet.

    You can tell this baby is well loved.

    M&C I had a wonderful time hanging out with you guys. Even if the kiddos did pee and poop on everything possible. It was such a funny afternoon, I hope the girls rested for you that night. I will have a peek for miss E up very soon. I can not wait to share both sets with you guys!
