Another wedding!

2010-01-12T20:53:00.001-08:00

Here's a look at my grandmother's wedding and reception.

Lincoln

2009-12-23T14:40:00.000-08:00

Well, I have to show-off my own little man today. I'm just a little proud. :-)
These were taken a couple of weeks ago.

Lauren & Curtis

2009-10-02T16:05:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I had the honor of doing an engagement session for my best friend and her hubby-to-be! We had a ton of laughs (because we can't be together and not laugh) and got lots of great shots. I am oh-so-in-love with way too many to post here. Be sure to check out the Facebook Fan Page to see more.

Another Family Session

2009-09-30T15:26:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I met up with Gene, Lynae, and their kiddos Jacob & Conner for a fun family session. We got some great shots! Here are a few of my favorites.

A Family Session

2009-09-29T14:13:00.001-07:00

A few weeks ago I met up with Jodi, Lorne, and their little girl Kayli at the park for a fun, outdoor family session.

Be sure to check out the Facebook Fan Page for more from this session.

Becca - 9 months

2009-09-24T08:03:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how fast this sweet little girl is growing up! Her first birthday will be here before you know it. She is so cute and so much fun, and I'm already looking forward to our next session.

Be sure to check out the Facebook Fan Page for more of Miss Becca.

Happy birthday, Adalyn!

Jaxson

2009-08-31T12:38:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how big this little guy is getting! He sure is a lot of fun, too!

Jason, Nikki, and Carter

2009-08-20T12:24:00.000-07:00

Ok, first I have to say that I love this family. I have known them for a really long time. How long? Oh, long enough that Jason & Nikki probably remember the dorky 12 year-old girl that I like to pretend didn't exist. We won't talk about that though.

A few weeks ago I headed out to their house for a Saturday morning session. It was warm and sunny, and we got some great outdoor shots. I cannot believe that Carter is three years old. It seems like just last week I was sitting on their couch, holding a little baby boy.

Kayli

2009-08-13T10:04:00.000-07:00

I'm a little late on getting these up. Sorry!

Last month I spent an afternoon with Kayli and her mom, Jodi at the Crowley's Ridge Nature Center. Despite the heat, we had a great time and got some adorable shots.

And this is probably my favorite from the whole session...

Party like it's...1985?

2009-07-15T20:33:00.000-07:00

A few months ago Courtney e-mailed me about possibly photographing her upcoming birthday party. Unfortunately, I said I couldn't because of a wedding I had to attend that same day. I was very sad about it though. I knew from the theme, "80's Prom", it was bound to be a great party, so you can imagine my excitement when she sent me another e-mail a week or two later saying the party had been rescheduled for the day before! My assumptions were correct. It was an awesome party - balloon arches, poofy sleeves, mullets, and all!

Happy birthday, Courtney!

Greta & Eddie - Wedding

2009-07-15T20:02:00.000-07:00

Last month I had the opportunity to shoot Greta & Eddie's beautiful wedding. First, I met up with Greta and her bridesmaids for their breakfast and to grab a few pictures while they were getting ready.

Then I headed to the church to start with the groom and the rest of the wedding party. I was also able to grab a few shots of the bride before the ceremony.

Their reception at the Jonesboro Country Club was beautiful and a ton of fun! To see more pictures, check out Emily Anderson Photography on Facebook and become a fan!

Becca - 6 months

2009-06-30T05:19:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Becca is already 6 months old. Watching all of these little ones grow up over the past year has made me realize how fast my little one will grow up, and I don't like it one bit. They need to be small longer.

Becca's session was a lot of fun though! She's such a sweetie and just sits back and lets her mom and I play dress up. :-)

Adalyn

2009-06-10T09:00:00.001-07:00

I do believe Adalyn is the happiest baby I have ever met in my life. I always have a lot of fun during her sessions, and this one was no exception.

Ella Claire!

2009-06-01T11:21:00.001-07:00

Ella Claire is such a fun little girl! She wasn't too sure about me and the big black camera at first, but once she warmed up to me we had a lot of fun. Enjoy the sneak peek from our session!

Jaxson is 1!

2009-05-26T16:53:00.001-07:00

Last week I had another session with Jaxson. We spent a few hours at the garden at ASU and had a great time. I can't believe this little guy is already a year old!

Adam & Kaila

2009-05-06T14:40:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures from a recent session with my husband's cousin, Kaila, and her husband Adam. Aren't they the cutest? Kaila is honestly one of the cutest pregnant girls I have ever seen.

More kiddos!

2009-04-30T15:42:00.000-07:00

Last week I got the opportunity to do another session with my friend Stacy's boys Jake and Luke and her little girl Ruby Kate. These kids are always fun to work with, and this time was no different. They gave me some sweet shots, got silly with each other and also had a great time with some bubbles. We had a fun time and got some cute shots.

And one of my favorite fun ones of the day....

:-)

Kayli - 7 months

2009-04-15T12:29:00.001-07:00

Last weekend I had another session with Kayli. It was a little cool, but we did get some outside pictures in.

Emily

2009-04-15T11:20:00.000-07:00

In the last couple of weeks I got the chance to shoot some outside pictures...twice! Oh, how I have missed being outdoors! Here are a few from a session with a friend of mine, who also happens to be named Emily. :-) She will be graduating from ASU next month and needed some pictures to send out with announcements, so we headed over to the garden at ASU and grabbed some shots after class yesterday.

Becca - 3 months

2009-03-09T20:48:00.001-07:00

Last weekend I had another session with Becca. This time it was for her 3 month pictures. She is such a cutie! I've also got to say that she was very patient with her mom and I! haha We had a good time trying different outfits on her and different settings. Isn't she a doll?

Jaxson!

2009-03-01T13:08:00.000-08:00

Here are a few from Jaxson's 9 months session. This little guy is so much fun! I'm not finished looking through the pictures, but if these are any indication, his mom and dad are going to have a hard time picking their favorites. Also, I'd like to say a BIG thank you to Mrs. Beth & Mr. Gaylon for letting us take over their house for the afternoon!

Happy birthday, Deven!

2009-02-27T14:28:00.000-08:00

Here are a few pictures from Deven's 1st birthday party. She is such a cute little girl - and so happy! She was laughing and playing the entire time. I love 1st birthday parties. They are always so much fun, and this one was no exception - cute kids, cute cake, and lots of smiles and laughter.

Kayli

2009-02-25T05:12:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago I had another session with sweet little Kayli. I'm still running behind and haven't finished the images yet, but here are a few of what I have so far.

Theron is 2!

2009-02-21T13:05:00.000-08:00

I'm slowly catching up on all the editing that I got behind on while waiting on my new computer to come in. Here are some pictures from Theron's Curious George birthday party. I can't believe he is two years old!

This adorable and yummy cake was made by Theron's Aunt Courtney! Check out her cakes at Celebration Cakes. Warning: These cakes are addictive. You will forever compare every other cake you eat to "Courtney cake." :-)

Happy birthday, Theron!

More Adalyn

2009-02-21T11:48:00.001-08:00

I finally finished Chandler & Ashley's pictures!

Adalyn

2009-01-25T13:53:00.000-08:00

Last weekend I went to Chandler & Ashley's house for a session with them and their sweet little girl, Adalyn. I have known Chandler and Ashley since before they were married, and I am so happy that God blessed them with this little girl. Adalyn is such a little doll and is obviously the center of their whole world! They make such a cute family.

Here are just a few of my favorites so far...

This next image is one of the first few shot of the session, and it is one of my favorite baby portraits ever. She is just a gorgeous baby.

I have so many shots that I absolutely loved that some of these were just pulled randomly from the file. Adalyn did so good, and I know her mommy and daddy are going to have a hard time picking their favorites because I sure did! Oh, and I haven't even gotten to the family portraits yet! haha I'm sure there will be another whole post just for those.

Steve, Kathi, Hanna, & Kaeleigh Jo

2009-01-07T10:11:00.000-08:00

For Christmas I bought my nieces adorable little outfits and did a family photo session for my sister-in-law. I can't wait for her to see all the images!

They have some beautiful parks close to their home in Missouri, and we got a Saturday of spectacular weather. The kiddos were in a great mood, the lighting was great, and it was just a wonderful session. I had a ton of fun and can't wait to get some of these up on my wall!

I love this waterfall!

Baby Becca

2008-12-15T06:48:00.001-08:00

Several weeks ago, I got a call from Jeanna, a friend of a friend. She wanted to ask about newborn photos, and possible some maternity pictures. Well, a couple of days later she was on bedrest, so the maternity photo idea got squished. Not long after that though, her sweet little girl Becca arrived! At only about 5 lbs, she is absolutely adorable! I had such a great time photographing this family at home with their new little baby girl.

Preston, Bri, and Jaxson

2008-12-03T08:34:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago, I spent the afternoon with Preston, Bri, and their precious little boy Jaxson. They are just the cutest little family ever! Jaxson is such a happy baby, too. I had so much fun with them!

Lexi & Aiden

2008-11-15T17:37:00.000-08:00

Lexi and Aiden are two more of the cute kiddos I go to church with (we have no shortage of kids), and today I traveled to their house for my first Christmas shoot of the year! I love Christmas, so seeing a tree up in someone's house (as opposed to just in a store) totally made my day.

Now on Etsy!

2008-11-14T12:10:00.000-08:00

Over the last year or so, a lot of people have asked me about artistic/decorative photo prints. Well, I finally got around to posting some on Etsy! At the bottom of the right hand column, there is a link to my Etsy store where you can see what prints I have available. I will be adding more as I get them ready.

Jake, Luke, and Ruby Kate

2008-11-13T21:55:00.000-08:00

Here are some little cuties! I always have a blast with Jake, Luke, and Ruby Kate.

Engagement Photos

2008-11-01T20:24:00.000-07:00

I had an awesome engagement session this week with Crystal and Jonathan. Crystal called me on Tuesday, in desperate need of a session as soon as possible, preferably Thursday afternoon. Lucky for her, and by some weird miracle, Thursday happened to be completely open on my calendar. Not only that, but I got out of my last class of the day 2 hours early, so we had plenty of time to get some shots in before the sun went down. The changing light added for some great colors, and Crystal and Jonathan were so much fun to work with!

Pirate Party

2008-10-26T21:40:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph a pirate-themed birthday party for a little girl named Grace. This was one cool party! Here are just a few of the neat details from the day. Her mom definitely put some thought into the fun-filled afternoon!

Johanna

2008-10-26T19:59:00.001-07:00

A couple of weeks ago my aunt and my cousin, Johanna, met up with me for a shoot. I haven't finished all the images yet, but here are a few of my favorites so far. I love you, Jo!

More from Stop, Shop, & Stroll

2008-10-26T14:43:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more images from Stop, Shop, & Stroll!

Ella's Fall Photos

2008-10-22T19:31:00.000-07:00

Stop, Shop, & Stroll went well last weekend. I had a lot of fun! I really wasn't sure what to expect, as it was my first craft fair. I ended up being pretty busy though. This is Ella, another of the sweet babies I go to church with. Her mommy, Ashley, brought her by to see me at Stop, Shop, & Stroll last weekend. She is such a cute, sweet little girl!

Catching up and Carter!

2008-10-21T19:00:00.000-07:00

I have been/still am super busy this fall! Way busier than I expected to be, in fact. I have three sessions, a birthday party, and a day at the craft fair of images to finish! I'm trying to get everyone's stuff to them quickly, but just bear with me! I am currently taking a break from my work, and as soon as I post this will get right back to it.

Here are a few of my favorites from my session with Carter. I spent an afternoon at his grandparents' house taking these fun shots.

This one is my favorite...

More Kayli!

2008-10-10T11:06:00.000-07:00

Well I finally finished Kayli's images today. When it was all said and done, there were over 100 images for Jodi & Lorne to choose from! Here are just a few of my favorite shots.

Check out the adorable lady bug nursery theme!

Kayli

2008-10-02T15:47:00.000-07:00

I had such a great time photographing little Kayli last weekend. I have known her parents for a very long time, and I am so happy that they finally have this precious little girl in their lives. Jodi & Lorne are such sweet parents, and I don't think I've ever seen a daddy more in love with his little girl! I'm not quite finished with all the images, but here are a few of my favorites so far. At only 3 weeks old, she slept for most of the session, creating some oh-so-sweet shots of this oh-so-sweet baby.

Stop, Shop, & Stroll!

Theron!

2008-08-17T22:34:00.000-07:00

Last week I had the opportunity to hang out with Theron and his mom Joslyn for a couple of hours for his 18 months session.

More Shay & Quinton

2008-08-13T15:39:00.001-07:00

I finally finished this wedding today. Here's a little preview.

Shay & Quinton

2008-08-11T05:43:00.001-07:00

I'm still not finished with editing the images from Shay & Quinton's wedding, but here are a few of my favorites so far.

More wedding photos to come...

2008-08-04T00:05:00.000-07:00

I got some great shots at the wedding I did this weekend, but I'm a bit behind on my editing. Tonight I've been working on more of Jessica & Alex's photos. I have all of the images from their rehearsal finished and am getting closer to finishing the wedding day ones. Then I will start on the images from the Shay & Quinton's wedding. So until then, here is one more shot from Jess & Alex's wedding day.

Now on MySpace!

Jessica & Alex

2008-07-30T09:23:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago one of my best friends got married. Jessica and I have been friends since the first grade, so I was really excited to be one of the photographers on her big day. I was in charge of getting the pre-wedding activity. I also photographed the rehearsal. I still don't have all the images edited, but here are a few of my favorites so far.

More of Miss Berkley

2008-07-30T09:13:00.000-07:00

Now that the wedding is over, I can finally post these! Congratulations, Jess!

Happy Birthday, Berkley!

2008-07-14T21:09:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I got the opportunity to celebrate and photograph Berkley's 1st birthday. She is such a happy, pretty little girl. She was smiling and laughing all afternoon, and she really loved her cake! She is also looking more and more like her big sister Chloe everyday! Here is a sneak peek of the images I got from the party.

Happy Independence Day!

2008-07-06T13:17:00.001-07:00

I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July! Here's a shot I got at a friend's house over the weekend.

Carter

2008-06-30T11:40:00.000-07:00

Last week I took some photos of my little buddy, Carter. Here are a couple of my favorites.
He is so much fun!

Dog Days of Summer

2008-06-22T14:36:00.000-07:00

I recently took an afternoon to photograph these adorable pooches, The Cuteness and Daisy, for my friend Lindsay.

The Cuteness

Daisy

Kaja Wedding

2008-06-05T14:40:00.000-07:00

These are three of my favorite shots I took at a wedding about 2 years ago.

Some past work

2008-06-05T14:34:00.000-07:00

I recently came across these images again and thought I'd post them here. They are from a couple of years ago.

Gonna take a walk outside today...

2008-05-28T10:06:00.000-07:00

I love these two images of the Barrett girls. They were totally un-posed. The two older girls were taking turns pulling their baby sister in her new wagon while their parents were cleaning up from Ella's party. It is so sweet to watch siblings interact like this.

Sweet Ellaby!

2008-05-28T09:38:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more pictures of little Ella that I'm just now getting around to downsizing.

Sorry...

2008-05-21T22:01:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I do have more images coming though! I got some great shots last weekend from a bridal session. I'm still waiting on permission from the bride to post them though (and a sworn oath from the groom that he won't peek! haha).

A Sneak Peek!

2008-05-04T17:12:00.000-07:00

This is beautiful little Ella in my favorite image from her party!

Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph Ella's 1st birthday party for her mommy, Amy. I had a blast! I'm currently working on the images, but here are just a few of the others that I love so far.

an image from today

2008-04-13T18:27:00.001-07:00

Isn't she cute?
This isn't the best photo in a technical aspect (natural light + moving puppy= motion blur), but she is just too cute.

The Finished Poster

2008-04-10T16:39:00.000-07:00

I did some more work to it today. It should be printed by Monday.

Architectural Details poster

2008-04-09T21:19:00.000-07:00

This is an assignment from my Digital Photography for the Graphic Designer class. It isn't finished, but this is as much as I'm doing tonight. I'll try to post the finished product this weekend.

Come Fly With Me

2008-04-02T14:43:00.000-07:00

This isn't exactly photography, but I think graphic design stuff counts, too.
Excuse the bad colors. When I uploaded this, it took out some of the quality.

With this assignment I had to typographically interpret the song lyrics.
The original had no background, but I printed it on textured watercolor paper, so I put a similar background on this digital version of it. The original was sold in the Lifeline to Art silent auction to raise money for an art scholarship.

This one's for you, Nikki!

2008-04-02T14:14:00.001-07:00

After realizing that people do actually check this blog, I've decided to add some more photos.
Here's a shot of my rings. It wasn't for a class assignment, but it was a self-assigned job. I tried to find as many ways as possible to photograph a set of rings. This was my favorite shot.

My First Photography post!

2008-03-11T15:43:00.000-07:00

My name is Emily Anderson. I am almost a senior at ASU majoring in Digital Media & Design. I love photography and hope to launch my own business later this year.

I decided to start a blog just for my photography to inspire myself. I will post some of my favorite shots from my professional work and maybe even some of my class assignments. I have a personal blog, but I'm sure the readers of that blog don't want to be bombarded with random photography assignments and projects.

Here is the first:

This was taken just a couple of weeks ago in my pasture/side yard.
The assignment was to take photos for a panorama project. I got a little sidetracked, but I did get this shot that I really like.
