Today, it snowed in Georgia. Usually that means everyone freaks out, everything gets canceled, no one remembers how to drive, and Publix runs out of milk and bread; the thing is, we usually only get a few flakes. Today we got snow. Real snow. This was Evie’s first REAL snow. I had to take her out, and get some photos. She absolutely loved it, loved the noise it made under her boots, and the prints she left behind, she might have stayed out all night if we had let her. The cold didn’t seem to bother her as much as it affected us. I’m so glad she got to experience the “noshe” and hope it lasts at least through tomorrow so she can play some more.

I’m Emily, and I am Perky Bird.

I am so lucky to be a photographer. My 20 month old daughter, if she could speak the sentence, I’m sure would say “I am not lucky to be a photographer’s daughter.” She hates my camera, in fact she would much rather be on my side of it, looking at the LCD and pushing buttons. Really though, one day, I think she will realize that she IS lucky to be a photographer’s daughter.

She is my world. (Ok so my husband is a part of it too.) Whether she is rolling around kicking her feet throwing a tantrum, hanging from the countertop, or giving the sweetest kisses only she can give… she makes me, me.

I am so blessed to be able to capture her spirit, her sweet little smile, and how peacefully she sleeps. My camera allows me to capture what my heart sees, and that is priceless.

My hope is that you will allow me into your life, to capture your baby’s smile, your family, and your life.
