My name is Emily.

I love people in love.

I cry at every wedding.

I own a striped umbrella. Everyone should.

I love my pug. His name is Edward.

I dream of having a house with enough closet hooks for my scarves and hats.

Laughing is great.

I believe there is nothing better than a day with the people you love.

And I absolutely love to take photos.


And this is my blog. Expect to see people in love, expect to laugh and read, and expect to see what I love and why I love it! Welcome to my blog. I am glad you are here.

Last week during the cold spell (although some would argue that up here in St. Paul we always have a cold spell in the winter time) AJ, Michelle and I headed out to shoot their engagement session in downtown Rice Park. We even headed indoors for a few in the amazing Landmark Center right next to the park.

I am not sure that we could have had more fun together that Saturday morning! I can't explain how excited I am for their big weekend wedding in Rochester in October of this year. They both have AMAZING smiles, as you can see, and are absolutely perfect on camera. I could tell right from the get-go that they were totally into each other and that it didn't take much for AJ to make Michelle laugh, as you can see from some of the photos.

And they were so snugglie too---I guess when you are in love that is the only option to keep warm on these frigid Minnesota days! :)

The Landmark center is not only beautiful but has some pretty amazing lighting that we had to use...and it was near some elevators, what could be better?
