Our beautiful and awesome friends (oh right, they’re also clients!) Cheryl + Derek are bringing a new life into their home and the world… and we can’t wait to meet her. We found a secluded beach for some celebratory portraits, and Cheryl was her usual gorgeous self, rocking her new status as momma, while Derek’s antics cracked us all up. (Yes, you’re gorgeous too, Derek.) Thanks to these sweet people for trusting us to document…
In one of those wild coincidences, I planned a trip back to Vermont the same weekend that Jessica + David took their kiddos up for a family visit. Raw weather and a distinct lack of sunshine made for something of a challenge (this part of New England doesn’t often have snow so early in the season, so things mostly just look dead and trampled), but Jessica suggested some of Dartmouth’s campus, as the students were off for break. Perfect!…
We seriously can’t get over how tall this kiddo is. At 5 years old Kylar is already towering over her peers; we’re sure she’s going to get sick of hearing people ask if she’s a model or a basketball pro pretty soon. We love spending time with this family, though it’s a surreal way of realizing that yet another year has flown by (we photographed Kylar as a baby-bump before she was born, and then at…
We love our wedding clients. We really do. We end up becoming good friends with many, and stay in touch with nearly everyone after the wedding day. But sometimes there are clients who we instantly bond with from the moment we meet, and look forward to every time we see them from that point forward. Nicole + Scott (engagement, wedding, day after session) are the kind of people who make you grin the second you see them.…
We joined Lauren + Brett and their adorable almost-one-year-old Zach at the Morikami Japanese Gardens for their family portraits earlier this month. What a perfectly beautiful day for outdoor portraits! The sun was shining almost as brightly as Zach’s winning smile. We wandered the gardens slowly, taking our time throughout the afternoon to capture casual family interactions as well as some classic portraits. (And we seriously can’t get over Zach’s face in the lead photo;…
I met Stacy + Ryan at the very beginning of their love story; while we’ve been in touch on Facebook and other internet connections, we hadn’t actually seen each other in ten years. In the ten years since then life has happened: college degrees, career choices, marriages (theirs; ours), travel, moves, and recently: the birth of their daughter, Evelyn (called Evie). Reconnecting while I was in Colorado Springs on business this fall was a wonderful experience;…
Remember Jessica + David’s first baby, Sterling? (See their first family session from 2012 here.) Sterling is now a big brother, and Em was thrilled that her trip to the northeast coincided with Laurence’s birth (the family is calling him Laure). Em and Jessica went to the same elementary school, though several years apart, and connected later while Em was still in high school when Jessica started directing small outdoor productions of Shakespeare. (Believe it…
We’ve kept in touch with the delightful Duffy family since Jessica + Ian were married in 2010. We hadn’t had a chance to photograph their newest addition to the family yet, so late afternoon at the family’s farm and woodshop was a real treat (speaking of which, you should check out Rockledge Farm for beautiful handmade furniture and kitchen tools). See a few of our favorites from their session earlier this summer below, and get in…
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms we know and love out there, and especially to my mom, Evelyn, who’s at home in chilly Vermont today. (Wish you were here!) A quick look back to two of my favorite photos of Momma with her girls (from November of 2012, with photos by my oh-so-talented husband, Steve). –xoxo Em
We’ve been having some awfully rainy weather in South Florida for the past few weeks, but Katie + John were game to trek out to MacArthur Beach State Park to document her magnificent belly! Em joined these expectant parents (who also had us as their wedding photographers last year, which was awesome!) at the park, and everyone determined that the weather didn’t look too bad, so we left the umbrellas in the car. Anyone who’s…
Jessica + Ian were married in Vermont just months before we were (check out their wedding pictures here), and now have a beautiful daughter, Navah. We joined this happy family in Norwich, Vermont for a portrait session in the early evening. The New England weather had been fickle for weeks, but amazingly we managed to have a perfect evening of golden sunshine! Navah’s face lights up when she sees her Mommy and Daddy (if you…
Jessica and David were among my first clients, way back before Pogo Photo, before Steve, before Florida, in the early years of my college studies at SCAD. I met Jessica years before that, when she was directing local plays in Vermont and cast me as Celia in As You Like It (and we both discovered that acting—and memorizing lines—were not my strong points, though it was a fun experience). Far, far away, Jessica met David…
Rebecca and Patrick welcomed their first son into the world at the end of May; Emily joined them in their Fort Lauderdale home for his newborn session a week later. What a sweet family, with so much love! We can’t get over how adorable Grant’s tiny face is. Click below for just a few of our favorites. :-) The rest will be added to Rebecca’s Belly Session Gallery in the next couple of days (click…
We are so excited for Rebecca + Patrick’s first baby… their little boy is due in June! Emily went to their home to capture Rebecca during this special time in her life (along with a few shots with Patrick, of course). Can’t wait to meet their son next month… in the meantime, click below to see a few of our favorite images from their belly session, and click here to be notified when the rest…
