• Welcome to my blog!

    I am a mother, wife, sister, & daughter to some pretty amazing people. I am addicted to chocolate. I am a proud UF graduate. I want to find a cure for Breast Cancer. I laugh like my mother. I have more shoes than you can shake a stick at. I am horrible with directions and get lost in my own home sometimes. My camera and computer are attached to my hip ( really, they are ). My husband and 3 kids are my world. I am obsessed with photography and sewing.
    Like most photographers, my love for the art started with the birth of my children. I absolutely loved to catch their personalities in photographs as they grew. Their little smiles & belly laughs just melt my heart. They inspired me to take my passion to the next level and pursue my dreams in photography.
    Please enjoy my blog as I will post my favorite pictures from recent shoots. Feel free to contact me about booking a session or any questions you may have. I would love to capture the sweet moments and beauty of your family.

Friday Fashion | What to Wear Guide

Hello world! I am still here! We have so busy trying to get the house in order that I had to put TSP on the back burner for a bit. We are almost to a point where I can get back into the swing of things. Our next home improvement project is my studio and office! I am very excited and blessed to have a home that allows enough space for both rooms. I cannot wait to share the before and after shots of this project so stay tuned! I also have a Senior session to share from a dry lake bed that I shot in Vegas days before we moved.

School starts on Monday for us so I decided to do my ‘Friday Fashion’ with a little back to school flare! I am partial to the uniform look so that is where I got my inspiration.;)Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Jessie totally rocked this pose and guess what? She is wearing purple! YAYNESS!:)You can see the rest of the pics from this fun shoot HERE . I enjoyed photographing them so much. Jessie, if you are reading this, thanks again for rocking the OCF!

Please stop by IHF to see all the great talent! I just love this site!

KAP Lightroom Presets

The other night at my going away dinner ( insert sad face here ) we started talking about how Kelsey always gets asked about her post processing steps. The talk of her selling her them came up as part of the discussion. We know she is going to make a lot of people happy that she decided to do it! I was lucky enough to try them out for her in-between getting our family ready to move. I can always make time for pictures!;)I felt like a kid at Christmas getting these presets! SCORE!:)The fact that she named them to go with the Vegas theme is totally rad! She is a girl after my own heart!;)

These are far from award winning pictures. I managed to snap these 2 pics just to try out the presets and post for the world to see how easy these presets can transform a picture with a click of your mouse ( or Wacom Tablet Pen;)) . I can’t believe the movers will be here tomorrow and I am possessing pictures. I have issues…. lol.

You can find these fantabulous LR Presets on her blog. Please visit Kelsey’s site HERE to purchase these!

I LOVE Stardust and Flamingo! So soft and pretty!

My oldest boy just loves the camera. Can’t you tell by the look on his face?

I am going to try my hardest to post my session from last week and my last Leaving Las Vegas post. If I cannot due to the move, I promise they will be the first thing I post once we get to Virginia. As always, thank you for stopping by!:)

Meet Emeric Photography | Fun in the Vegas Sun

I met Jessie and Jason during the I Heart Faces Photo Walk Across America. They are a husband/wife photography duo. You can find here work HERE. We hit it off right from the start! A few weeks went by and they contacted me asking if I would do their family portraits and take some fun shots for their website! I was all over it!:)We talked over the details and I asked if they would allow me to do my favorite style of photography during part of the session. Anyone that knows me, knows I love me some OCF ( off camera flash ).

It was 115 degrees outside but we worked through it. The kids were done in about 2.2 seconds but after that we drove to a location that I have been dying to use for a shoot. It was on my list of things to do before I move from Vegas. We almost died of a heat stroke, tetanus, a rain storm ( yes it actually rained in Vegas and we stopped what we were doing to dance in it ) and chapped skin but hey, anything for photography right?;)This has to be one of my favorite shoots ever! I had so many images to pick from but I managed to narrow it down to these.:)

From the 2.2 seconds the kids gave us.



Now we head off for some OCF fun!






We found out it was about to rain and cool off from 115 degrees to 103 degrees. This was Jessie’s reaction.;)



For some strange reason I can’t stop singing the Doodlebops song “Let’s get on the bus” when I look at these pictures. lol



This may be one of my favorite images ever! Have I mentioned how much I love OCF? Jessie, you totally rocked this pose!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and meet Emeric Photography! I have 2 more blog posts to go before I am caught up. Sometime in between there I will be moving too!;)

Purple Parasols | Beautiful Sisters

Aren’t these sisters adorable? They were naturals when it came down to taking pictures and were total troopers considering the heat outside. It was 110 by the time we finished up the shoot @ 10 am. Fun stuff. We pulled through and managed to get some cute shots of the girls and their parents.
To the ‘S’ family, I hope you enjoy your pictures and it was an absolute pleasure photographing your beautiful family!
