Emily McCall Photography bio picture

My philosophy . . .

I love working with people who are fun.  Genuine.  Real.  And that’s what my photography is really all about: capturing the real you.  I can see the connections between the members of your family and the beauty in each one of you -- and that’s what I want to capture with my camera. 

I don’t do the typical matching-outfits portraits, or the canvas-backdrop-strobe-lighting-say-cheese portraits.  I don’t want you to worry about having perfect hair, perfect smiles, and the kids on their best behavior.  Relax.  Have fun.  Be yourself.  I want to show you your family the way I see it through my lens: happy, beautiful, flawless in spite of the flaws.
 
So when I show up for your session, you don’t have to do any pretending.  Just be real.  I like t-shirts and jeans and flip-flops.  And jammies.  And mussed up hair and lollipop-stained faces.  I love hugs and tickle fights and peals of laughter, and snuggles and kisses too.  These things are real.  This is the way I want to remember my family, and it’s the way I want to help you remember yours.

Good tunes

Have you heard the fantastic music on my website?  It’s by Frances England, a very talented mother-of-two from San Francisco. She created the “Fascinating Creatures” album as a fundraiser for her son’s preschool, but it has since spread around the world.  It was voted 4th best kids and family album of the year in the 2006 Fids and Kamily poll, and it was the sole winner of the 2007 Oppenheim Platinum Award for music.  A big thanks to Frances for allowing me to feature her album on my website!
