Night moves

Dopamine dressing

What does this mean? Well, it’s not just colour, it’s all about textures, patterns, pieces and hues that just make you feel good! Forget traditional… girl this day is about you - Wear whatever makes you feel amazing! 

Chequer yourself!

Cheque’s are back baby and there back everywhere! This could be seen on flooring, rugs or for men a tiled tie pattern? 

Lake it ’til you make it

Trade the beachfront to a getaway on the freshwater, Lakeside resorts, pontoon boats and lake home plans will all be making a splash.

The Best of 2021!

2021.

What a year! I moved to a new city, worked a 8-5 job, then quit the 8-5 job to do what I love full time, hired a virtual assistant, moved back to Houston, had the most busiest Fall I have ever had in my career, decided I needed to bring on 2 associates for the Spring, & now I’m editing my heart out before I leave to photograph an elopement in one of my dream places in Texas.

Over this past year I have been able to grow so much within myself & my business. I have checked all of my goals off my list for 2021 & am ready to do the same in 2022. I just wanted to share a little bit of what EMP has been able to capture over the course of 2021.

These are just some highlights throughout the past year. It’s not every session we photographed this year, but some of my favorite memories. It’s wild to see what happened this past year & made me realize this is my career that I built for myself. I never would’ve imagined all of this to come from buying a camera in 2018. So, thank you to every client 2021 has brought us & cheers to a new year with many more memories to capture!

Let’s talk about my dreams! I’m starting off my list to be with some places I have actually gone to & been able to capture beautiful people.

10. Enchanted Rock in Fredericksburg, Texas. I was there twice last year for a Surprise Proposal & then a wedding with my good friends.

9. Palo Duro Canyon in Canyon, Texas. I still would love to go there & do an elopement, so feel free to book me! But, I second shoot a wedding there earlier this Spring whenever I was living in Lubbock. It was so beautiful & crazy to me to be there!

8. Big Bend National Park in Texas. I will be going here at the beginning of the new year for an elopement & i’m so excited!! I seriously love the area of Big Bend & all the cities that neighbor it.

7. Las Vegas! I mean when you think of eloping the old school runaway & get married is in Vegas baby! I would love to do an Elvis wedding in a Casino just livin’ it up vibe.

6. Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. This in Winter or early Spring would be a dream! A true forrest elopement/intimate wedding. Give me all the feels & need to happen.

5. Joshua Tree National Park in California. This would be a girl’s dream to shoot an elopement in the desert.

4. Olympic National Park in Washington. Twilight. That’s it thats the tweet. I mean can you imagine having a cabin in the woods & be along a beach too, but make it moody. I mean c’mon!!!

3. Montana. I would simply cry if I was able to capture a couple in Yellowstone. This is where I learned to love the Mountains, my mom is from Montana & we would travel there pretty often growing up. It just gives me all the good vibes.

2. Welcome to New York!! Give me a City Elopement with your soulmate in the cutest jumper ever! Please & thank you.

1. Hawaii. I don’t care where in Hawaii, but I would love to shoot a dreamy beach elopement with the perfect sand & blue water. This would be a dream.

If you are looking around & planning an elopement feel free to count me in & my bags are packed once I see i’m available for your special day. I’m so ready for adventure & capturing people in love! I might even give you a discount if I really want to go there!
