Last week I was visiting my sister in Wilmington, North Carolina. My plan was to go to the beach and go paddle boarding (my sister works in a paddle board shop). Tuesday through Friday it rained. No exaggeration. UGH. On Friday we went to the aquarium and stopped and saw the gorgeous cove of trees and the beach. The wind was causing the waves to be so rough, we couldn't even tell it was supposed to be low tide. Saturday finally the sun came out! My niece and I headed to the beach. It was actually perfect picture taking settings as there was a good deal of cloud cover (but enough sun I got a little sunburned!). Enjoy the pictures from my trip!
I know. Its been too long. You all have been so patient with me. I just finished my first clinical rotation and I got behind on blogging! So much has happened from August on.
First, WE GOT ENGAGED. Being the photographer that I am, I told Bryce before he proposed that whenever he did, I required either a video or photos of the whole thing. I wanted to be able to look back and show our kids. Well, Bryce set up his GoPro camera and video taped the whole thing (no I'm not sharing it. Social media doesn't need to see everything). We were hiking at the place we always went in college. I was playing around on some rocks by the water and he asked me if I saw any pretty ones, I said no. He proceeded to say, how about this one? And has the ring box in his hand when I turn around. Be still my heart. We set up the camera on a timer and snapped this pretty soon after it happened!
Next came a fun infant shoot. Remember Anne's maternity shoot back in July? Well her sweet little girl made her debut!
Now for the most recent shoot! A friend of mine is gearing up her yoga website and wanted to add some fun pictures to it! We had the BEST (guys, the BEST) glowy light while we shot. Bryce got some incredible silhouette photos at sunset. (I'm so thankful he's my second shooter). I look forward to seeing Taylor's website up and running with some of these gorgeous shots of her in yoga poses. (Ps-she can hold these poses FOREVER. What a talented yogi she is!!)
Daniel and Rebecca celebrated their second wedding anniversary not too long ago! Rebecca is extremely crafty and made a quilt (A QUILT GUYS) because it's their cotton anniversary. They are also getting ready to move to Europe for a few years, and apparently the beds are smaller there, so this quilt will be just the right size. Enjoy this sweet anniversary shoot, their love is clearly still just as strong (if not stronger) as their wedding day! Congrats Daniel and Rebecca and safe travels!
Today was my dear, sweet, wonderful, special, best friend's bridal shower! The event was planned and hosted by her sister and maid of honor, Ali. Her shower modeled an English garden party; classy just like Caitlin is! The food was delicious, the setting gorgeous, but most of all we got to celebrate this amazing wife-to-be! It's 70 days until their wedding and I can't wait to watch my best friend marry her best friend! Enjoy some of the pictures from today :)
Anne and Cody are expecting their first child in August. We got together last night to shoot Anne's maternity pictures as well as some with the whole family (they have the sweetest pup, Riley!) In typical Emily luck, a massive storm was set to hit right during my favorite golden hour. I was determined to get pictures their pictures done because Anne is nearing the end of her pregnancy so we wouldn't know when we could reschedule before the baby is born. I was so glad that we decided to wait out the storm in our cars, because we got the most stunning sunset! It was a pleasure to work with this sweet little family, and I look forward to meeting their little girl when she makes her arrival! Congrats Anne and Cody :)
