Christmas Tree Mini Sessions

January 4, 2015

It really is the most wonderful time of the year!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these Christmas Tree Mini Sessions, and apparently so do all of you! I was so blessed to have so many wonderful families come out this year. It was a packed day, but it was so much fun to meet you all and play with your fun kiddos.

This year was SO MUCH WARMER!! The Christmas Tree Minis last year were FREEZING. I honestly thought it was going to start snowing…or at least hail.

But this year? It was bright and sunny and WARM. Good ‘ol Southern California winters 🙂

Despite our so winter weather we had a great time playing in the Christmas Trees and blowing pretend snow out of hands.

Thank you to everyone who came out!! What a fun way to end my year.

Sacramento Christmas Mini Sessions

January 3, 2015

Sacramento is BEAUTIFUL. The amount of Oak trees up there is just amazing. It is pretty easy for me to find a nice place to take pictures, but I never would of believed that I would find this beautiful location behind a Costco.

I’m serious folks….this is next to the parking lot. AMAZING!!

So, I knew this would be the perfect place for Mini Sessions.

It was so great getting to catch up with some old friends for High School, meet their sweet kiddos and taken fantastic photos! It really was such a blessed morning! These families are amazing and so dear to my heart.

I love you guys and it was so fun getting to see you all!! Let’s be sure to plan some more hang-out time next time I am up for a visit! 🙂

Family Minis (part 3)

January 2, 2015

The third day of Fall Family Mini Sessions were held in the Morning! These were my only morning minis and were booked up quickly by my clients with children that still needed an afternoon nap, or had some kind of sports. I was happy to be able to offer these early morning sessions to these families!!

Fall Family Minis (part 1)

December 30, 2014

Fall is my busiest time of year. It’s that time of year when families realize they have no good pictures to use for their Christmas Cards! 🙂

So this year I had 3 different dates for my Fall Family Mini Sessions. It was so wonderful to meet so many great families!! These Mini Sessions are 20 minute sessions. They are the perfect amount of time for families with little kids ( or for those hubbies who don’t enjoy pictures). 🙂

This is the first afternoon session. I LOVE the light in the afternoon, but it is also usually during nap time. I always tell parents that if they have to choose, choose a happy and rested child over pretty light. No one will notice the pretty light when your child is crying in all the photo because you planned your session during nap time. :/

I offered a few morning sessions for those families that had children that needed an afternoon nap. 🙂

FALL FAMILY MINIS (part 2)

December 30, 2014

The second day of Fall Family Mini Sessions were held at the Nature Center. I love this location and its dry rustic feel. These sessions were held on a TUESDAY, which made it a little tricky for people to make it, but it was the only other free day I had. So, Tuesday it was.

I LOVE how these turned out. The park is just beautiful in the afternoon and the families that came out were amazing too!

WELCOMEto theBLOG
Hello, I'm Emily
love, laugh, play

That is what I do. I capture special moments of the laughter and love that you share with your family and document them for you to enjoy everyday.

I think I have the BEST JOB EVER!
I'm laid back and I love what I do. I have been taking pictures since I was a little girl and fall more in love with it everyday. Being able to capture people's joy is so rewarding!

I capture real life.

I believe pictures should be fun, so we will be playing more than posing.
I believe in building friendships instead of clients.
I believe in using Reese's Peanutbutter Cups instead of a Hersey Bar on my S'mores! (seriously folks! TRY IT, you will NEVER go back!)
I believe in being so happy that when others look at me they become happy too.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Thanks for stopping by!
