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.

Henry-one-year-023.jpg This little boy is one of the CUTEST and most animated that I have ever photographed and I LOVE HIM! :) Henry turned one in February so we spend the afternoon together as I laughed at his facial expressions and he inquisitively explored at each spot we stopped. His personality is major mellow but you can tell that he is going to grow up to be extremely smart and unbelievably handsome! I just hope that he keeps his perfectly round eyes and chunky cheeks!! :)

Erika-3-months-007.jpg
If any of you have been following my dear friend Emily and her husband Chris through their adoption story you will be floored to see that little Erika is already 3 months old!!! I feel like it was just yesterday that Emily was squealing with excitement on our Knitch weekend that they had been chosen to be birth parents....and as I sat at her house on Friday I was in awe of how amazing of a mother Emily has become in just 3 months to little Erika. She loves her, kisses her, hugs her and is everything a mother could be to a baby girl...to watch a friend's life turn into everything joyous because of a little baby is so unbelievable!

Abram-newborn-098.jpg
From the moment I met this little man his slate blue baby eyes captivated me from the get-go! :) At only 10 days old Abram was wide-eyed, alert and so ready for the camera to be in his face....he barely made a peep through the entire shoot (Mom and Dad couldn't have been more proud of their new bundle!) :)

Graiden-newborn-022.jpg
Mr. Graiden is only 7 days old and was alert the ENTIRE time we were taking photos! He is tiny, Oh-so cute and never made a peep the whole time we were together (talk about an easy baby boy!)!!!!  His Mommy and Daddy are thrilled that they have a little boy to coo at, play with and cuddle with....

I wish you guys many nights of restful sleep and many days of "cooing" at baby Graiden! :)

Eric-Eileen-556.jpg
I went out to coffee with Eileen and Erik and of course snapped some photos along the way! :) They are both funny, down-to-earth, amazing artists! Honestly, someday Erik's artwork will be strewn across the walls of my house; its whimsical, it's awesome and I *love* it!

If you can't tell, we had fun. We laughed a lot, drank some coffee and chit-chatted the afternoon away together! You guys are sure two perfect peas in a pod! :)
