Hello everyone! So I do realize this is my first post of the year but in my defense…CHRISTMAS! I swear I wanted to put the camera down for months after that insanity!! With about 3 weeks of Relaxation and “Twilight” obsession (confession alert) I did manage to pick the camera back up, and have once again fallen in love…(I will post a few of my recent faves toward the end) Not sure if I ever posted on la182foto but am so excited about it!!! As most of you know, my sister and I have decided to join forces on some wedding photography! We have decided to name this collaboration la182foto. I LOVE THE NAME! It is so unique and special to us having been the road that runs straight through the town we grew up in! I really do believe the name alone will catch some magazines eye and have us published! (Oh the day!!!) I see it coming and CAN’T WAIT!!! The website is www.la182foto.com! If you haven’t checked it out yet, Please do so!!! I know you will love it as much as we do!!! So having gotten this excited about wedding photography, we decided to jump on some CHEAP flights to visit the 2009 WPPI Convention in Las Vegas!!! We are leaving next Sunday and have been preparing for this since we received our confirmation e-mail. STILL NOT READY! (But when is anyone ever ready for something like this?) I love flying and I love Hotels!!! Small town girl..heehee! Seriously can’t wait to view all of the new and upcoming photography products available! Also having access to some of the top photographers in the WORLD will be an amazing PLUS! I have to admit that behind all of this excitement I am a little nervous??? Not only because I will be amongst the Best in my line of work (yipes) but also that I will be leaving my Precious (2 year old) baby boy for the first time!!! The fact that he has 2 staples in his head right now does not make this process an easier…(add another head injury to the list!) How does one go about doing this??? I won’t figure that out until I return from Vegas I’m sure…Typing about this reality is making me very nervous so on to another note! I will hopefully be getting some amazing shots while we are there and posting these sometime next week so keep checking on the “sometimes blogger blog” aka Emmy’s Blog! I swear I will try and get better at this…Thanks to all of my clients/friends/family for an AMAZING 2008! I know 2009 is going to bring GREAT things! I can feel it!!!! (Any prayers are welcome!!!) Hope to book with you soon!!! On to some of the favs!
This picture happens to be one from Christmas time but I couldn’t help posting! The hat, the tu-tu, the jacket, the fat cheeks! They get me every time!

Some 6 month pictures! B-E-A-U-T-F-U-L baby girl! Tu-tu’s and hats galore!!! LOVE IT!!!


So this just happens to be one of my very best friends Baby Boy…can’t stop taking pictures of this Fat Fella!!! He is the best! Next to your nieces and nephews, the love you have for your friends babies is so remarkable to me! I miss him when he’s gone and love to see that face on our daily walks!!! (Although, I don’t know who wouldn’t love to see this face! He looks like a Freaking Porcelain Doll!!!) All laughs all the time! And best of all…loves posing for his emmy!!!

I could continue all day with him! But on to the next…I had the opportunity to shoot some friends from high school buddies for their engagement pictures! These 2 have been together since high school and are finally tying the knot! Such a cute couple and some of my favorite engagements pictures yet!!!…(something LA182foto is now open for business)! Enjoy! (I will be posting her Bridals soon enough)! Can’t wait!!!

Again! Could post all night! but moving on…This bride is SOOO easy going! Even with the Horrible cold she just happened to stumble upon the day of the shoot! She is the exact opposite of the dreaded “bridezilla” and such a joy to work with…we shot her bridals on 2 separate farms and the pics with the horses! LOVE THEM!!! She was absolutely STUNNING!!! I hope to have her as a client for years to come!!!

There are so Many pictures that I need to post here but will have to try and catch up on the next one as my eyelids are now on the verge of closing indefinitely! Please feel free to leave comments! Hope to hear from all of you! Thanks for taking the time to view my BLOG!!!
