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.

Dana + Zack, married!

The super-fun and fantastic Dana and Zack got hitched!  The wedding was on what was probably the rainiest Saturday all year, and even though they had to change their plans for a garden ceremony it didn’t phase Dana or Zack one bit.  And they had one of the most touching and beautiful weddings I’ve ever witnessed.  I feel so lucky to have been a part of their special day!!!  And now, for part one…

Party (er, family) of five

Take a look at this beautiful family and tell me you’re not green with envy that I spent my Saturday morning hanging out with them!  We’d had to reschedule our session a couple times, but the third time was definitely the charm.  And here is a massive post to prove it — can’t you just feel the love radiating off of them?!  I love photographing families!

Catching up with Hayden

My good pals Hayden and his momma came over to hang out today, and you know I had to get out my camera!  How could I resist this face?!

It took him a few minutes to get warmed up for the camera…

But once he did, there was no stopping him!
