my new love miss bailey, Stevens Point photographer

Meet out new puppy, Bailey.  We have debated for years about getting a dog.  We finally took the leap after spending some time with our friends dog Lola and falling in love with her and her breed, which is Lhasapoo.   It took us a while to find a breeder that we trusted but when we found Cathy on the internet we knew.   Check out her website with live puppy videos and great homemade treat recipes.   Thank you Cathy, we adore her and as you can see below she still loves her Lamby!

The vet said she is super social ... my husbands response, "Just like her Mom!"  I couldn't help but to take some shots of her during our first weeks together.  I just love the shadow pictures below. Who knew that I would have such an Artzy Fartzy dog!

We are totally in love with her 7 pounds of fluff and can't wait for you to meet her too!

My new favorite smiling girlfriend is Miss Lily Horton.  What a bundle of joy.  The smiles were full and she was in total flirty mode.  Skirt above her head and everything.  Wendy and Tim, your going to have your hands full!  Lily, I love watching you and your brother grow up and am so blessed to have such wonderful friends in your parents.  May God continue to bless your family and our friendship.  All my love, Em

looking forward to summer .the Everrett. Stevens Point Wedding Photographer

Need a sense that summer is on it's way?  Check out The Everett in Eagle River, WI.  Last summer I had the privilege of shooting a wedding at this fabulous family owned resort.  After the wedding the owners had me back to The Everett to take images of their awesome property.  Thank you Tim and Peg for including me in this project.  I adore your property and was thrilled to be included in a small bit of it's history.  

I was going to wait to promote the images until their site was updated, but with such cold weather I needed a reminder that the weather will soon be warmer.  Hope this helps you too!

Just a little treat from before the snow fall to brighten your day.  Even the birds know it is supposed to be nice outside!

Have a great day, Em

david & sarah, day after shoot, Phoenix AZ

The day after David and Sarah were married we met up again for a little tour around Phoenix.  This was their opportunity to get a few more pictures at neat places throughout the city at places that were not possible to reach the day of the wedding.  What a great opportunity!  Once again, cheers to David & Sarah!

david & sarah. Arizona wedding photographer. Mesa, AZ

A wonderful couple mixed with a beautiful location, what more could a photographer ask for?  This was a destination wedding for many involved in David and Sarah's big day.  David and Sarah traveled all the way from Alaska and some family came from North Carolina.  Arizona was a perfect place to bring everyone together, as it was just warm enough and just sunny enough to brighten everyone's winter blues.  The full day took place at Superstition Springs Golf Club.  I can't say enough good things about having an event all at one location.  It really eliminates a lot of stress for everyone involved and makes for a seamless transition from ceremony to cocktails.
Sarah's excitement for photography gave us an instant connection.  Sarah and David's relaxed nature and willingness to let me be creative truly made for a picture perfect scenario for the whole weekend.  I had so much fun getting to know their loved ones and hanging out with their wedding party as well.  They are truly blessed with lots of love.  I wish everyone had Aunties like Sarah does!  I believe they said that between 3 of them they almost have 200 years of marriage under their belts!  That is amazing.  What great stories they have and love.
A massive thank you to Scott Foust, owner of Image Industry in Phoenix, Az.  Scott was my second shooter for the day of the wedding and was a massive help.  It is possible to shoot a wedding with only one photographer (as many do), but I always feel the day moves so much smoother with 2 people, 4 eyes, 4 hands, and 4 cameras!  Thank you Scott for "paying it forward" and contributing your passion to help another photographer out.
David and Sarah, thank you for serving our country and for continuing to make sacrifices for America.  It was an honor to work with you and to see the love that you share with each other.  All the best, Em
Stay posted for their day after shoot to be posted soon!
