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.

Lorilei + Tory

Monday, September 1, 2008

Isn’t it totally great when you meet people for the first time and you feel like you’ve known them forever?  That’s how it felt when I met Lorilei and Tory on Saturday morning — I just love them to death!  These two got married six years ago and wanted some new photos with each other, so Lorilei dragged out the wedding dress and Tory, like a trooper, donned a suit, and we headed to Fair Park for some fun!  The Texas State Fair hasn’t started yet, but we found plenty to keep us entertained anyway . . .

I LOVE this one:

This one’s in the amphitheater:

Of course we had to get a shot with the famous ferris wheel:

They are just so stinkin’ cute!

I think this one is just stunning:

A ring shot:

And then we played with the sun!  I call this one “headless husband”:

Here’s a visual of a “dazzling smile” — the sun is literally sparkling off of Lorilei’s teeth!

And this is one of my new favorite shots of all time — it makes me so warm and happy to look at it, I can just feel the love radiating off of them!

This whole session was such a blast.  And Lorilei and Tory are a perfect example that you don’t need a special occasion to justify a photo session.  Love is reason enough to celebrate anytime!

Stay tuned to see what happened when we ditched the dress and put on play clothes . . .
