RAW: Natural Born Artists

I was so excited on Thursday to get the opportunity to be one of the featured artists at the RAW art showcase! It was so much fun and I met lots of talented and amazing new people! People who absolutely love what they do and put so much hard work into their craft! It really inspired me and fired me up to progress further with my photography as well! Photography however was not the only thing that was showcased! There were some painters, sculptures, bands, hair and makeup artists as well as fashion designers! We ended the night with a stunning fashion show that blew people away! The whole night was truly a blast and I'm so thankful that I got the opportunity to be a part of it! A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support me and to the RAW organization!

Display Designs and Valentines

This week I'll be participating in the RAW art show in Salt Lake City. It's a really cool show that features about 40 artists from painters and photographers to make-up artists, bands and fashion designers! It's this Thursday and I've been really busy building my display to showcase some of my fashion and concept shoots. If you would like to come you can get tickets at this site http://www.rawartists.org/emilieannphotography

I'm pretty excited and so far I've met a lot of amazing people who are so passionate about what they do! The display is coming along and I decided to make it allll from scratch! I'll post about the actual show after Thursday but here are some pictures of the display "in the making."

Valentine's was also extremely different this year. For the past two I've celebrated with my sweetheart Tyler. But since he was gone it was a little well, different. Not sad or lonely. Just different. I was still happy because I had sent Tyler a letter bomb the whole week of Valentines (which meant he got a letter every day with a different theme leading up to Valentine's) along with a small package for the actual day! Little did I know, he actually sent me a package as well that I just barely got today! It was a total surprise! So after celebrating love day by going to see Safe Haven with the girls and eating pink cupcakes at work, I was relieved to say one Valentine's day down and one to go! I haven't always loved Valentine's day. But I really felt so much love this year from seriously everyone around me! I'm so grateful to have such caring and amazing people in my life! Especially my sweet Valentine who is working so hard in California. It's been an extremely happy week :)

It's Been a While

Wow! It's almost been a year since I've posted to this blog! Well, that is way too long! I took a break from the personal blog to get my photography business up and running, and now that it's on its feet I figured it would be fun to get back to this blog! As you can see, I gave it a makeover and it's new, improved, and ready to go! :) So here is a quick summary of what has happened in the life of Emilie since I last posted. Tyler left for his mission to San Bernardino California (Spanish Speaking) and has now been out for 6 months! I'm living in Provo and rooming with two of my best friends while getting my bachelor's at UVU. I'm working full-time with my photography and making the most out of life as it comes. Life is good and I feel so blessed and happy. I'm happy to get this blog up and running again!

 This guy had an amazing farewell.
