I was so honored to be asked to be featured on this great blog for babies!

As much as I like to talk,  it is always a bit intimidating when you are being interviewed because someone wants to write an article about you!    Jennifer made me feel at such ease though and I was so honored that she asked to interview me for Celebrity Parents!   Thanks Jennifer!

All three of mine have joined Girl Scouts this year (Girl Scouts, Brownies and Daisys) I just love what the Girl Scouts represent! Since having 3 involved in scouts, it also means 3 selling Girl Scout Cookies! So as any mom would do, I decided to help them out.
**Special**
Buy 7 boxes of girl scout cookies and receive a $25.00 gift certificate from EMAPhotography to use towards a future session fee.
Buy 10 boxes of girl scout cookies and receive a $40.00 gift certificate from EMAPhotography to use towards a future session fee.
Check out all the yummy flavors here where it says “meet the cookies”:

And because a post without a photo is so boring… my middle and her best buds getting ready to sell their cookies!

~Giving Is Awesome 2010~

This is my second year participating in the “Giving is Awesome”. Each year 100′s of photographers endeavour to give back through the way they do best by giving the gift of their time and talent to someone who might not be able to afford it. Photographing the winning families in the past touched my heart so much and I’m so grateful that I was able to give them a lifetime of memories. Without further ado, here we go…
You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, fallen on hard times, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $2200 worth, to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $200 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?
The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must be local and willing to travel to my studio. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : info@emaphotography.com no later then DECEMBER 22, 2010.  Please include a way to contact the nominee and yourself.

*Winning nominee will receive a session and a CD of high resolution images valued at $2200.

*Session must be scheduled by February 2011 and take place between February and April 2011.

*All nominations must be in by December 22nd and reviewed by a panel of my closest colleagues and friends.  The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

The best part of these mini sessions was that every client was a repeat client therefore making it that much more enjoyable catching up!

All regular full sessions for 2010 are now officially booked.   I have a few remaining dates open for my Holiday Mini Sessions and a few newborn spots open and all other full sessions are now booked and currently I’m scheduling for 2011!

Newborns- Please call to Pre-book your newborn session if you are currently expecting!     Pre-booking allows me to note it on my calender and we book the official date once you deliver.   Only those who pre-book are guaranteed a session as I have not been able to squeeze in any last minute newborns.

Just to update you that my August and September is completely filled. October is getting filled but there are still dates for October and Novemer right now. I have not been able to squeeze in last minute newborns so please call to Pre-book your newborn session if you are currently expecting!

And Take 3 of my “way back weekend” contest…Missed last week but the previous was so much fun with everyone finding their shots! Here we go again!

Thought I would do a fun contest to see just who keeps updated on my blog! Each weekend I will post a few favorite images from different sessions of the past. If the images is from your session, email me (info@emaphotography.com) by midnight that Sunday night and you will win a complimentary 5×7 of that image! This conest will last until tomorrow (sunday) at midnight! So remember, keep checking back each weekend!

Love this quote I just saw!

“we photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished, there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. we cannot develop and print a memory.”
