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 had the privilege of hanging out with the Vosbergs last weekend to play with the boys and meet little Mr. Rowan. We had some coffee, played with trains, and I was able to see a glimpse of this cute, playful and amazinly BEAUTIFUL family! Mommy, Jill, is one of the wonderfully talented program directors for the Kid-o program at Eaglebrook...so, needless to say they are ABSOLUTELY spunky and have many gigglie nights together!

Doesn't this shirt just crack you up???

Maeve is teensie and I *love* her! She is a little Irish girls with pale skin and blue eyes and perhaps some strawberry blond hair too (just like her Daddy)! Maeve was born 2 months early and spent some time in the NICU before coming home and right now only weighs 7 pounds at 3 months old. She is the sparkle of her new house and have Mommy and Daddy in love!

This tiny little bundle is the perfect addition to the Anchetta family! She is a peanut (only 6 pounds 5 ounces when born) and is the MOST chill baby I have EVER met! The session was record speed because we didn't have a peep, cry, wink or sounds while we moved, changed and wiggled her around on her very first picture day. I think that someone can easily convince me to have a baby right now if they all seemed as easy as Sophia! WHEW!

Her little fingers, toes and wrinkles!!!

I can't wait to see you grow by little Sophia!

I think I might be in love with the Coleman family....honestly folks they are sweet, good looking on camera and oh-so-cute to one another. Amelia just turned one at the beginning of April; when Alicia first contacted me to do their family session she mentioned that they had been taking a photo of Amelia every day since she was born ANNNDD posting it on a blog. HOW COOL IS THAT? They not only take a photo every day but they share it with all their family and friends online. I hope that someday at Amelia's wedding or graduation party this little project comes out so that everyone can "ooooo" and "ahhhhh" about what an awesome story Neil and Alicia told of their little girls first year.

Now, on to some amazing photos of the family. Like I said...awesome family....giggles galore through the whole afternoon...

And how much do you LOOOOOVE this next photo?? Probably one of my faves because everyone is out-right laughing at Amelia and even she is laughing at herself.....

Another really cool thing is that on the exactly one year after she was born Amelia took her first steps......something for the scrapbook Mom!!!!! :)

Playing a little PEEK-A-BOO with the passing cars...

I absolutely LOOOOOVE these family photos! And the BEST PART is that I get to see them again in September for Alicia's sister's wedding....WIN for me!!! :)

So....for many of you that have been following this little sweetie as he is growing.....Max is already SIX MONTHS OLD! Man, does time fly (*and I am not even his Mommy.......ha!*). He is giggle, cute, chubby, and loooovesss his older brothers. They even stayed home from school because Max had to have some photos with his bro's for his baby book. :)

Don't you just adore this "mooooommmmmm, I HATE when this lady comes to take photos of me because aren't I cute enough just sitting here without you making me smile!!!" face????? I laughed out loud when he did this!
Max-6-months-001.jpg Max-6-months-003.jpg

And don't you just looooove this one???
Max-6-months-010.jpg
His hair is out of this world wild.....I sure hope that his future wife gets one of these framed someday! HA!
Max-6-months-017.jpg Max-6-months-025.jpg Max-6-months-032.jpg

Although Max adores is older brothers, he was pretty uninterested in taking photos with them at the moment.....he was waaaayyy too cool for the camera by himself and then they come in and hog all the action. How dare they! :)
Max-6-months-044.jpg Max-6-months-052.jpg Max-6-months-056.jpg Max-6-months-061.jpg Max-6-months-073.jpg
Max is already a STUD and I can't wait to see how much he has grown when I see him at the ONE YEAR mark! :)

A few weeks ago I spent the afternoon with this little bundle named Henry! Don't you just love that name, HENRY????? It was in the family and Mom, Holly, said they just HAD to use it and it fits this little man to-a-tea!!! Henry is the first in the house and his little nursery (which you will see in photos later on) is ABSOLUTELY awesome....looks like it could be straight out of a magazine it is so darn cute!

He is such a peanut and don't you just LOVE his wrinkly face???
Henry-newborn-003.jpg
Aren't his eyes just killer in this?????? I think this may be one of my faves....
Henry-newborn-018.jpg Henry-newborn-024.jpg Henry-newborn-025.jpg
You can just see the look on Holly's face.....she treasures this little boy!

When Henry was born instead of handing out cigars to celebrate with, Holly and Luke handed out O'Henry bars! Don't you LOVE that idea???

I can't wait to see you soon Henry!!!
