Welcome to the Emily Photo blog!

This is my happy place. My hope is that someday it will
be one of yours as well.

By following along, you'll get to know me a little better, but
in the meantime, here's a bit about me..

I love…

sunshine, dandelions, making a wish, landing at my vacation
destination, my grandma’s never ending hugs, wobbly toddlers, running
really really fast, fine art, my beach cruiser, an ice cold
dirty martini, a piping hot vanilla latte, lazy days, feeling
accomplished, Paula Abdul, uncontrollable laughter, Lifetime movies, memories,
capturing memories.

I have…

an obsession
with small fluffy dogs, a familiar face, a sassy side, amazing support, a
camera on me at all times, a lot to learn.

I am…

silly,
Tanorexic, a twitter junkie, emily-photo.

Emotions are my
inspiration. I hope to capture and
showcase the emotions of you and your guests, every little detail that makes
your day perfect, laughter, tears, families, and fun.

Los Angeles Area Engagement Photo Sessions – What to Wear

Wednesday, June 9, 2010 Posted in Engagement Photography, Engagement Session Inspiration, Engagement Session What to Wear, What to wear

What to wear Tip #2 – Get your guy involved. So many of my guy friends don’t even know what an engagement shoot is. The first way to get your guy involved is to educate him. Explain to him why the shoot is important and show examples of engagement shoots that you like. This one would be hard for me, but ask him for ideas on location, possible themes, and clothing.

This tip is a “what to wear post” because a really good way to get him involved is to go shopping together before the shoot. Before you do this, discuss with him if he wants to be formal or casual, how many looks you’ll do, and what types of outfits best represent you two. Whether he picks out a few staple items, a stylish hat, a funny graphic tee, or a big ol’ watch (like the one below), encourage him to get excited about the clothes he will be wearing. I guarantee the shoot will turn out better!
