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.

I grew up with sewing machines, bolts of fabric and an amazing Mother that would not only sew my favorite neon colored outfit for the next day of school but also would teach me everything she knew as she was making up new patterns and crafting amazing fabric things! :) And I am SO grateful for that kind of creativity in me today because not only does it reflect on my photography business but it also allows me to be a broader artist that still has a passion for sewing, knitting, crafting and hand-making! Thanks Mom! :) :) :)

This little gal is Elodie the polka dot elephant. She came from the super cute book that I just picked up from Darn Knit Anyway last week and I think the polka dot fabric I picked out suits her quite well, don't ya think!?! :) I imagine Elodie being carried around by a little girl, playing tea parties and princesses and lovingly gets kisses everyday! Sounds like a pretty good life to me...especially for a polka dot elephant! :)

Em, that is the cutest little polka dot elephant I have ever seen. As my preggo friend is very all about polka dots, how much would you charge me to purchase one of your Elodie creations?
