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.

On Saturday morning I woke up bright and early to spend some quality time with a little man that I sure hold dearly to my heart, Mr. Peyton. He was born one year ago on Good Friday and he is about a week away from his first celebration (and opening some darn good little-boy presents). His Mommy, daddy and I headed out to some good morning light in a nearby field and enjoyed every moment of it. Peyton's blue eyes, inquisitive look at the camera and easy-going nature make this little boy a DREAM to take photos of! I am tellin ya, as he gets older those big baby blue's are going to get him in trouble with the ladies.....(but I think Mom might already know that :)

Peyton-one-year-055.jpgHe already looks like such an "old boy" since I last saw him at 6 months so I am eager to see his grown in this next year! Happy Birthday Mr. Peyton....I hope you get many trucks, trains and puppies at your birthday party! :)

at first when I saw the photo link, I was like, who's Peyton? I honestly didn't recognize him at first glance! These photos are awesome em! I love his " old man" clothes in the first bunch.

Even though you are working with such an excellent subject, your photos make him look even better! Thanks for capturing Peyton's young years for us.
You do an excellent job. If anyone I know is looking for someone to take pictures, I will definitely recommend you!
