baby bump in the city…

01.03.13

When Eva and I first started talking about maternity photos a few months ago she new she wanted to capture her growing family in the city she loved. Using the city of Portland as the backdrop was important to her and Peter, and I was happy to oblige. Even though I live just a short distance out of the city proper, I love my hometown of Portland, OR. It is a city full of color, life and so much quirk. It was my pleasure to capture this darling couple, and their “bump in the city”. When the big day came we ended up with some low temperatures and a bit of rain, but they were totally troopers. I can not wait to meet the newest member of this adorable family.

Eva & Peter thanks again for being up for anything. I loved capturing you two and hearing about your coming little guy. I can not wait to meet him. I hope you all had a happy holiday season! I will be done with the whole set shortly.

thank you for an amazing 2012!

12.30.12

Tonight I finished my last wedding of 2012 (and it was an amazing one!) and could not help but reflect on what an awesome year it has been. I want to really thank all of you who made 2012 such an amazing year for emily g photography! For now I am going to say thank you, unplug & head to the Oregon Coast with friends and family for a few days off. If you need me I will be back to get things going with new energy in 2013!(Thursday Jan 3rd to be more specific)

Here are a few of the many, many, many images I captured in 2012 that still make me smile…

Darling Scarlett

11.28.12

I know I say it all the time, and you are sick of hearing it, but I love my job. I love watching families change, age & grown in front of my camera lens. Miss Scarlett started out as a bubbly baby, moved to a cute toddler last year, and is now a full fledged young lady. Oh and lets not forget a soon to be big sister. I had a great time catching up with this marvelous family, playing around the studio, and taking advantage of a lovely late fall sunset. I love combining a kids session with a few maternity images too, just makes me more excited to see them again when baby arrives!

Here are a few of my many favorites…

Shannon & Wes it was great to see you all again, thanks for trekking into the studio. I can not wait to see you all again soon for baby brothers session. 🙂 I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek. I will have the whole gallery done very soon for you! You know the way I roll too, if you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will set you up with a darling set of brag books on the house.

Brandin’s Beautiful Belly

10.26.12

Remember the sun? You know that thing that came out in the day and warmed us all up? Yeah, I remember that. Don’t get me wrong I love the lush green thing we having going on in Oregon, due to the massive rainfall. But sometimes, when I am editing a session from just a few weeks ago with delicious warm rays of sun I miss it a bit. *Sign*

This particular session I want to show off is from just one of those days. I met Brandin and her darling hubby Westly in one of my favorite state parks a few weeks back. She wanted to capture the current state of her beautiful belly, and I was happy to oblige. She is such a stunning pregnant mama! I also know for a fact that the babies in her family tend to be super adorable (check out her nephews here & here). We had a great time chatting about southern weddings, babies and cousins.

Here are a few of my favorites so far…

Brandin & Wes thanks again for meeting me out in the park, and for your flexibility. I am so happy we lucked into such a pretty late fall day to capture this special session. 🙂 I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek! I will have the whole set done shortly!

Kris + Julie = Beautiful Belly

09.27.12

I love, love, love it when my former wedding clients come back to me with good news! So when Julie sent me a little facebook message saying she & Kris were expecting this fall I was thrilled. You remember Julie & Kris’s stunning wedding just over 2 years ago right? I also posted about their album here. We also had fun the summer prior at the state fair. I just love working with these two, and the latest maternity session was no different. Julie is absolutely stunning as a pregnant lady. It was my pleasure to capture these two again. I can not wait to meet their little lady!

Julie & Kris thanks again for meeting up and being so good in-front of the camera again. I hope you enjoyed these. Almost done with the whole set. I can not wait to meet your little lady!
