Emily McCall Photography: the Photoblog

I smiled . . .

. . . when I walked by the guest room in my house, peeked in, and saw this!

Surfside

Last weekend my husband's whole big family went to Surfside Beach near Freeport, Texas, for a relaxing little getaway.  We all packed into a beach house and spent our days swimming, sunning, fishing, eating, and laughing our heads off.  It was a pretty nice beach and a really great time, so of course I came back with lots and lots of photos to share!  Consider this the obligatory "what I did on my summer vacation" essay--but with pictures!

(By the way, Typepad seems to have implemented some sort of color management that I think makes the photos' colors look a bit wonky; if you think so too, click on the image and a larger photo will pop up--the color in the pop-up window looks loads better!)

More of that hot baby mama

I promised more to come, so here they are!  A few more shots of my gorgeous friend, who is due July 23.  I'm counting down the days for her! 

If you are interested in a maternity session and would like to see some examples of the more PG-13 types of shots, just shoot me an e-mail and I'll give you a gallery password!

Too cute not to share

Quick shots of a couple of my favorite kiddos taken at a recent wedding reception; how gorgeous is she?!

I just can't believe those blue eyes...

And her brother's pretty darn handsome himself.

I've got to get my camera on them for a full session very, very soon!

Baby mama

Yesterday I got to shoot maternity portraits of one of my very good--and very beautiful--friends!  We've been planning this session for ages, and she's now about 34 weeks along and looking absolutely spectacular, so we finally made it happen.  We had a blast and got some really great shots in the process!  Here's a preview, but there are many more to come!

       

Camille + Justin

On Saturday I got to witness the marriage of my brother-in-law's wife's sister . . . but to make things a little less complicated, let's just call her the sweetest girl in the whole world!  The wedding was at a gorgeous cathedral in downtown Fort Worth and the reception was at the old Texas & Pacific train station.  And even though I was not (and am not!) the wedding photographer, everything was so incredibly beautiful that I just could not resist whipping out my camera.  Here are some of my favorites!

These two are such beautiful people, inside and out, they deserve all the happiness in the world.  I wish them all the best!

Summer is . . .

It is getting awfully hard to tell them apart...
