Miss Sloane is the equivalent to pure JOY.  I have never been greeted at the front door by a one year old with such friendship and hugs.  Upon walking in she immediately went in for a hug.  My kind of woman!  If every session started like this I would only work with babies!
And then Yoda the yellow lab joined in on the fun.  What a patient and lovely dog for Sloane.  We ended the shoot with some Cheerios and a water bowl.  Ha!
Thank you Sloane, you are one of my favorites.  Keep up the good work!  Em

mom's wedding dress was brought out for some fun too!  So cute!

Massive congrats to some of my favorite friends and their newest addition and bundle of joy, Keegan.  What a little doll.  I am grateful for your continued friendship and trust with your family's big moments.  I still can't believe how many fun things have happened for you in the last 4 years.  I love that we live here so we can be a part and witness your joy.  We are blessed to have you as friends.  Next time we are bringing the dinner!  Love you, Em

Oh DUDE!!!  I'm going to be AUNTIE Em come December!  I was super fortunate to have been able to go visit my sister mid October in Anchorage.  She is in the midst of making a human so I went up to help, hang and have some much needed sister time before she is full time Mommy!!!  What a blessed time we had and what a change it is to be sisters now from growing up.  Thank God I'm not as big of an ass as I used to be.  

Isn't she GORGEOUS!!!!!!  So pumped for her and Ryan, oh, and Moose (their Lab!).  I can't wait to meet Mr. Man in person.  Take her easy, put your feet up, keep cooking, and call me!  

All the best Meg.  I love you.  Em

I love working with my past brides and grooms.  Dave and Liz had a beautiful wedding back in 2009 and now have a beautiful little boy Thomas.  I also love finding different areas or items in people's homes to use for our shoot.  I immediately fell in love with this awesome chair in their office and new we had to get him to try and sleep on it.  Like a pro he passed out and looked perfect!
It was great seeing your family again.  Thanks for including me in your big moments!  Cheers, Em

My new favorite smiling girlfriend is Miss Lily Horton.  What a bundle of joy.  The smiles were full and she was in total flirty mode.  Skirt above her head and everything.  Wendy and Tim, your going to have your hands full!  Lily, I love watching you and your brother grow up and am so blessed to have such wonderful friends in your parents.  May God continue to bless your family and our friendship.  All my love, Em

hair candy product, handmade hair accessories, fabric ideas

I just found out about this awesome product hand made by Anne Erickson called "Hair Candy."  Anne makes each piece special and then sends them in the mail.  Super easy and super cute!

The pieces pictured here are made by her from fabric left over from my wedding dress.  I had extra from alterations (I'm short!) and didn't know what to do with the extra.  I sent the fabric to her and this is what she created for me.  I am in love with my new hair pieces and thought I would share.  What a perfect way to reuse any fabric that is special to you.  What about a bridesmaids or wedding dress, a piece of grandmas favorite shirt, or grandpa's hanky.  There are some many different things you could do.

Please check out Hair Candy or call Anne to come up with your very own hair treat!  www.etsy.com/shop/scherffa  651.724.7002

Thanks Anne, I love my new Hair Candy!

Miss Hanna is the newest daughter to one of my favorite families.  I loved meeting her for the first time recently.  Her little body is so bitty and sweet.  And a full head of hair.  I have yet to see a new born with so much hair.  All the girls are going to be jealous!  

Thanks for including me in this fun time with your growing family.  Three cheers to your precious family.  Em
