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.

Meet Miller!

Check out this cutie!  Miller Benjamin was born at 3:15 a.m. on December 8 — he weighed in at 7 pounds, 5 ounces, and measured 19.5 inches.  I met his big brother back in September, so I was really excited to get to see the whole family again, especially with this adorable new addition!  Miller was only five days old for our shoot, and I know newborns can’t really smile and all, but Miller was awake and grinning throughout our whole session!

I love this one — it’s my new favorite!

Look at that face!

Here’s Miller with his big brother . . .

And one more of Jake, because I just can’t resist that face!

Seriously, these boys are just too much sweetness — I love ‘em!  Check out Miller’s SLIDESHOW here!

Meet Frank!

Isn’t he a handsome little guy?!  Frank will be five weeks old on Monday, and he’s just a doll!  His mom and dad wanted to get some shots of him for his birth announcement and holiday card, so he put on a smile for me and made my job easy!

Here he is in his christening gown, which his dad wore, and his dad’s mom wore, and her mom wore . . . it was gorgeous!

And this is Frank in a stocking!  One of his grandmothers needle-pointed this amazing stocking for him, and we couldn’t resist stuffing him inside!  :)

Happy babies make me smile!

Frank’s mom and dad love him so much — he’s a lucky little guy!

But who wouldn’t love this guy, huh?!  He’s just gorgeous.

The whole beautiful family:

Well, not quite the whole family.  Frank’s got some sisters — Katie and Emma — that I couldn’t resist!

Too much good stuff for one session, I tell ya!  My clients really spoil me.  If you’d like to see Frank’s whole session, check out the SLIDESHOW here!

Owen Marshall

It’s really hard to beat a newborn session, and I had an amazing one on Saturday!  This is Owen Marshall, just ten days old.  You met his beautiful momma a few weeks back — the good looks obviously run in the family!  Little Owen was born on October 1 and weighed in at 8 pounds, 9 ounces.  Don’t you just want to eat him up?!

Here’s the gorgeous new family:

Check out those baby blues:

He was happy as a clam hanging out in that basket:

And the doggie had to investigate . . .

I love toes!

This is one of my absolute favorites:

Here he is in his nursery:

Takin’ a little snooze . . .

Here he looks like he’s pondering some big questions:

And this one just cracks me up!  What a face!

Okay, you know I’m hopeless at narrowing down photos to post, so here they all are — turn up your sound!

Eight days new

We had Hayden’s official newborn session yesterday–he’s eight days old already!  And I agree whole-heartedly with his momma that he is getting cuter every single day!
