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.

Paula + Drew

I made a trip back home to Iowa last weekend and on top of the nice vacation, I got to shoot the wedding of my best friend’s beautiful sister!  Paula and Drew had an absolutely gorgeous wedding — and I couldn’t wait any longer to share some of the photos, so here’s a sneak peek!

After the ceremony, the wedding party all got on the party bus — a school bus!  Particularly fitting, since Paula is a teacher.  And that bus took us to Paula and Drew’s house, where he carried her over the threshold!  Chivalry is alive and well…

Then, on to the reception for food, cake, and dancing.  And oh, was there dancing!

There will definitely be more Paula and Drew to come — there’s far too much awesomeness for just one post!

Claire - wow, you did a fabulous job! i love the tilt shift w/ the groomsmen...very cool! (you clearly have a much better handle on what you're actually tilting when you use it than i do.. i'm always surprised when i look at my photos later and find out what's in focus and what's out).April 1, 2009 - 6:14 am
