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.

Whitney + Jeff, engaged!

Last night was an exciting night in my family–my sister-in-law got engaged!  Jeff proposed in private and then brought Whitney back to her parents’ house for a surprise party that everyone was in on–except Whitney!  Aren’t they the cutest?!

And Whitney’s mom and sister totally outdid themselves on this party–seriously!

Jeff texted us after the proposal to let us know that all went as planned…

And here Whitney is, mid-surprise–she walked into the backyard and there were about thirty-five people waiting for her!

And of course, the ring!

And here’s a quick little slideshow to memorialize the evening.  You can see it on black here.  Congratulations, Whitney and Jeff!  I can’t wait for the wedding planning to begin!!!

By the way, if you’re confused, thinking Whitney looks an awful lot like the girl from the bridal session in the previous post, you’re right! Whitney is her twin!
