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.

Adopt this puppy!

***ETA: Took puppy to the vet Tuesday morning.  No microchip.  Vet says she’s a lab mix, about three months old, weighs eighteen pounds, looks healthy.  She’s now had her first set of shots.  She would make someone a really great pet!***

Driving home from dinner on Friday night, Ben and I saw this adorable little puppy crawling in the gutter on the street.  She was completely terrified!

I jumped out of the car and picked her up and we brought her home with the intention of finding her owners over the weekend.  But she didn’t have a collar or tags, and we’ve since come to the conclusion that she was probably abandoned.  She is sweet as pie and gets along great with our other animals, but we just cannot keep one more pet in this house . . . so we’re trying to find her a good home!  She’s sweet and loving and seems to be healthy (no fleas, no worms).  If you know anyone who’d be willing to rescue this totally adorable stray, please let us know!

My little monsters

I took some photos of my demon-doggies this weekend and I realized I hadn’t shared any pics of them in awhile — so here you go!

Don’t let their cuteness fool you — they are some serious troublemakers!  These next few are of Murphy . . .

And here’s Ollie (his fur is pretty short in this first one — you’ll see it’s grown out quite a bit since then):

This one cracks me up:

And here’s a few more all scrambled up — it’s getting to the point where it’s even hard for me to tell them apart in photos!

I have to admit, they’re a pretty great pair.  I don’t know what I’d do without them!  (Except maybe clean less . . . )

My pooches

While I was taking photos of the trees in the backyard yesterday morning, the dogs demanded to have their portraits taken.  These have proven to me that it is now nearly impossible to tell them apart!

This one is Ollie (with his typical tongue placement!):

I’m fairly certain this one is Murphy:

Ollie again, I think:

This one is definitely Murphy; he runs in a diagonal line across our backyard over and over again . . .

Here he is taking a break:

And here they are together!  I don’t know why I like this photo so much, it’s completely out of focus . . . but it just seems to fit them!

It is getting awfully hard to tell them apart…
