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.

Sweet fifteen

Andrea was my first real portrait subject ever, so I feel extremely fortunate to have been a part of her very special quinceañera celebration.  I went over to her aunt’s house before the big event and took photos of her getting ready there.  She’s quite honestly one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met and deserves all the best from life, so I was touched to see her looking so beautiful and genuinely happy.  And I know that she has been waiting for these for awhile, so without further ado, here are some of my favorite photos from the day!

First, a few details: the invitation…

I love this moment!  So serious, like she was really contemplating the importance of the day (or maybe she was just rehearsing her dances in her head!)

Stunning, once again!

She had an amazing mantilla…

One last look on her way out the door (I love the light)…

I hope you had an amazing day, Andrea!  Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it.  I wish you all the best in the future!

And if these weren’t enough for you, you can see more photos in her slideshow!  (There’s a slightly larger version here.)
