    Giving is Awesome!

    Posted in Uncategorized

    Help me give away 1K worth of photography!

    hatcoat-for-blog2

    You know someone.

    You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

    You know someone. I guarantee it.

    I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $1000 worth, to be exact. I will be giving away a full session, a beautiful custom designed coffee table book with images from their session, a 5×7 bordered proof set, and the kicker, they get a CD of their images with personal printing rights!  These items sold separately are worth over One Thousand Dollars, but it is my gift to one special family this season. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

    Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $150 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

    The rules:

    * You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

    * The nominee must reside in Oregon. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

    * You must e-mail me the full story : emily[at]emilygphotography.com

    The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

    This is a country wide project as well, with a bunch of other photographers, if you are one of my lovely out of state readers please click HERE to see if a photographer close to you is participating.

    Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

    With love,

    helping out with your holiday shopping…

    Posted in my life, photography geekyness

    After a few requests this year I have decided to offer gift certificates in my standard line up.

    Here is a layout I am working on:

    giftcertificate-layout-for-web

    I can customize the gift certificate to suite the type of session it will apply to (newborn, kids engagement etc.) and either leave  space for a custom greeting or personalize it for you. We can have them cover, sessions, print or even coffee table books. The sky is the limit. It is also a great way to give a personalized gift for that hard to buy for family member that really has everything.

    If you are interested let me know and we can start working on a plan today!

    Happy early Turkey Day!

    Keeping me on my toes! {Wilsonville Child & Family Photography}

    Posted in family, kids, sneak peek, Uncategorized

    I had a great time with two beautiful sisters and their parents this week. Saying these girls are cute is an understatement. R and E were full of fun and hilarious the entire session. Even if it was a bit cold out. I had a blast chasing down these two and teasing them into smiling for me. I like to think of my kids sessions as play dates, and this one really was.  We ran all over a local park and found all sorts of hidden treasures. I can not wait to finish the entire set.

    I had a really hard time picking, but here are a few of my favs so far:

    petersonpeek-10

    This is Ms E. She likes to make up songs and talk about boogers, that’s my kind of girl!

    petersonpeek-14

    And this beautiful young lady is Miss R. She kept me on my toes with her sharp whit, she is a smart one for sure!

    petersonpeek-11

    These two really do have fun together. Some times siblings bicker during a session, not these two they were great for me the whole time. I loved watching them together.

    petersonpeek-16

    And the whole family. Even Mom & Dad are beautiful, it is almost not fair. I loved the dissipating fog here too, with the bright colors. It is early winter in Oregon for sure.

    petersonpeek-18

    Someone loves her big sister can you tell. :)

    petersonpeek-19

    And this one I absolutely had to post. It really does capture our morning, and completely cracks me up!

    I had a wonderful time chasing after these two!

    Christi thanks so much for calling me to set it all up and being flexible with the weather. I will have the whole set for you very soon. Lots more fun stuff to come. I also thought I would throw in another blog challenge.  If you can get 30 people to post comments on this entry I will give you $25 off a set of holiday cards.

    Cute and Chubby, just how I like them {Portland Oregon Baby Photographer}

    Posted in baby, family, sneak peek

    Lets take a walk down memory lane. Do any of you remember this beautiful belly?  And then this little tiny brand new still in the hospital peanut? And then this amazing newborn?

    Yeah me too, some of my all time favorite images there. And now this amazing family is back for more, and just as beautiful as ever.  Just see for your self how little Mr. Big has, well, gotten BIG.

    Can you believe that is even the same baby?!

    Such a sweet baby, and so good for me. I guess this is what I get when I train them early!

    Kisses for “big brother”

    And for something completely different, we did some photos of the whole family down the road at the most amazing setting. I have had my eye on this side road for a while now, so when Mr. Chubby’s mama suggested it I jumped at the chance.

    Stunning location, beautiful family, does it get any better? It also helps these are 3 of my most favorite people too.

    Just adore them.

    So there you have it, a bit of a long peek but I could not help my self. Amber and Greg thanks for being so flexible this weekend and daring the Oregon weather with me. I adore you two, and cherish your friendship beyond words. Thanks for helping me make some special images, I hope you love them as much as I do.

    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!
