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.

Little Ella Grace

Sweet little Ella Grace was born on February 21 and turned two weeks old yesterday for her newborn session.  But you almost wouldn’t know it to look at her, she’s so teeny-tiny!  Ella weighed in at just 5lbs, 5oz when she was born, but she’s already got a lot of personality for such a little one!

A Christmas miracle

Emily McCall Photography - Dallas portrait photography

Isn’t he the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?!  This is my nephew, Paxton Ryan, who was born on Christmas Eve.  He weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces, measured 19.5 inches, and made his much-anticipated appearance at 7:51 p.m.  Everyone is absolutely crazy over him!

Here’s his amazing mom, who you met a few weeks ago . . .
