Fernholz card


I made this card last night. Jenny wanted a card that was pretty generic, as she wasn't sure when she was going to get a chance to send them out. She said, "really just pick anything" so it will be a total surprise when she gets them in the mail. I had fun with photoshop filters for the background.

Wright photos


I finished the Wright family photos today. Here is their album. It's the first one to be only made with Gallery and is only on the new "view my photos" page.

Sorry if some of my old links do not work. I have tried to make sure they all do, but I am sure I missed some. Please email me if you can't view a slideshow anymore, or else try looking at http://www.emilyminor.com/gallery/main.php.

Wright Family Photos


I took family photos for the Wright family on the 27th. Two grandparents, four kids and their spouses, and seven grandkids between 5 and 6 1/2 weeks. Very fun!! This outtake captures the shoot pretty well. The parents were a huge help in getting the seven kids and babies situated and looking at me. I'm excited to get all of the photos done.

Rose - Maternity

I have a problem.

I take way more photos than anyone should. *sigh* Tonight I took 281 photos during a maternity session. *sigh* Thank god I'm not still shooting film. BUT - I did get some really awesome shots! Rose and Thomas are going to have a really hard time picking out prints. Here are a couple good ones.

Weisbeck Christmas Card




I snapped these shots at Crystal and Karl's wedding and Karen decided to use them for her Christmas card. I just got them back - they turned out great! I am so happy with my printer. They are clear, crisp and great color.

Hoogendorn's

I just finished their slideshow. (Is it still a slideshow if you have to manually advance it? I hope so.) Yes, it is almost 1 AM. I may have a Red Bull for breakfast. Enjoy Jenny! http://www.emilyminor.com/Hoogendoorn/slideshow.html

Fernholz Family



This evening I took family photos for the Fernholz's. What a great-looking family!! I love this mother/daughter photo. Chad was not too happy about having so many photos taken, but he pulled through. Laney was very photogenic and not shy at all. I can't wait to finish all of them!

Spaders





Here is the Spader slideshow!




Things are changing in my world... Hello doesn't seem to work anymore with Blogger. Darn. It was SO easy to upload and resize. I'm a big fan of drag and drop (which Hello could do) versus having to attach files manually (which I have to do now.)








Most of my website is back up, however the order form is not working yet. If you need to order prints, please email me instead.

Thanks!

Spader's Reshoot


Round II - We decided to reshoot the Spader family. I am SO glad we did - we started about 4:30 this time and the light was hundreds of times better. I'm really happy with lots of these photos. Posted by Picasa

Lance & Jenny

Jenny & her baby Lance at the etc. Expo. Lura, Jenny and I went to check things out. We were a bit late for the wine tasting though and there was no room left inside though. So instead we checked out all of the booths, sampled gelato (not like Italy's no matter what they claim), picked up free chocolate, tried about 4 different wines, and had some gourmet hot chocolate. Yummy. There were a couple photographer's with booths - maybe next year. Taken with my Treo.

Photo shoot for SDSU Alumni magazine


My friend Lura is a free lance journalist and does stories for the SDSU Foundation. Today I took photos for a story she did about the SDSU Foundation farm near Lennox. Bryan is an Ag Engineer who designed and built this shed. He had to account for everything from snow load to wind. The front is special material that lets the light in, so the cattle aren't spooked by going into a shadowed area they can't see. Look for the article in the Foundation Magazine. Posted by Picasa
