www.emily-griffith.com is LIVE!

F.I.N.A.L.L.Y.

I started this blog nearly three years ago. And for about the past year, I've been so tired of it, hesitantly sending people here for lack of any better way to display current work. Now that the time has come to say goodbye to this old site, I feel so happy, relieved, excited and proud to show my shiny new blog-site. But goodbyes are always hard and I can't help but feel a little nostalgia to this blog where the past three years of my life/work is chronicled. *tear* Thank you to all that have kept up with my little blog but now...get on over to my NEW BLOG-SITE!

Coming soon, really soon!

Yes, that IS a website preview :)

I'm THAT kind of dog person...

Life with a dog is great. I'll be the first to admit, I am THAT dog person. I'm a "let my dog sleep in my bed and lick my face" kind of dog person. I'm a "talk in the doggie voice because you are da cuuuutest widdle doggie I have ever seen" kind of dog person. Obsessed? Maybe just a little. But I'm certain I am a better person because of my dog. Ike is pretty much the star of the show around here so when he is gone, I miss him. Like crazy. He is with the grandparents this week because we are headed out to shoot a wedding in Cozumel!

Yeah, I'm a "get emotional over lunch leftovers that I usually give to my dog but he's not here now" kind of dog person.

And yes, I still eat mac and cheese from the box every now and then. Ike loves it. :)



We'll be back soon to share images from much warmer places and news for the launch of the new site. I swear, it's coming soon.

A BELATED Merry Christmas and Happy New Year wish!

I'll be the first to admit, I've been hibernating from my blog a bit. I have all the usual excuses...busy trying to catch up with editing, busy with Christmas shopping, busy with Christmas cards, busy with family, busy traveling for the holidays, busy working on new branding materials, busy, busy, busy. But the main reason I haven't been posting much is that I am waiting for my shiny new blog-site that is sooooo close to being finished! Although this blog has treated me well, I am so so so excited for my new one! Nonetheless, I still wanted to write a very belated Christmas and New Year's post here. These calendars were a fun Christmas project and Ike (our dog and star of the show) especially enjoyed the Christmas/New Years cards. :)

I hope you all had a blessed Christmas season! Stay tuned as I hope to have exciting news to share soon about the launch of the new site!

Brianna and Ryan

Brianna and Ryan had hands down, the most original wedding ever. EVER. They were married on October 31, yes, Halloween! Their goal was to have a unique wedding, something different from the more standard wedding day traditions which I think they achieved! Sticking with the Halloween theme, they wanted to do their photos in a cemetery and I'm always up for trying different things so to the cemetery we went! The reception was decked out in full blown Halloween decor. Everywhere we looked, there were skulls and R.I.P sign and skeletons and cobwebs and guests dressed in costumes. Congratulations on a totally original wedding day!




















The next 3 shots are Justin's!
