Brody
I'm back! My blogging has been a bit lackadaisical lately because I've been on a pseudo tour of the Midwest. In the past week, I have been in New London, MN, Fargo/Moorhead, Watertown, SD, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. I think my trip-o-meter passed the 1000 mile mark! I did a ton of shooting so now I'm up to my eyeballs in editing and have tons to post. To kick it off, here's Brody! He is the CUTE son of Kristi and Jeremy whose wedding I photographed a while back! He has the bluest eyes I have ever seen! Great to catch up with you guys!

BIG CHANGES FOR LEMON LIME STUDIOS!!!
It began with life as students at Concordia College.
More specifically, it began with life as students in the photo lab at Concordia College.
We bonded over dark room fumes, late nights of experimental photography, discussions about aperture, iso, film grain, macs, and other topics that nerdified us to our other friends. We used each other as models when no one else would agree…eventually teaching each other to avoid being in front of the lens. We dreamt of our then imaginary and now reality photography business.
We were friends first, photography lovers second, and business partners third.
Our lives changed, our business is changing, our friendship will remain.
Lemon Lime Studios will be different and yet the same.
We are Molly and Emily. We were Lemon Lime Studios. We still prefer to stay behind the camera.
Enough mushy stuff! The long and short of it is, Lemon Lime Studios is branching into two. We're still the same photographers with a twist, but now under two separate names. We are both excited to welcome new phases of our photography businesses, but need your help as we transition. Both Molly and I are struggling to come up with new names! So this is where you come in:
• Brainstorm new names for me! Your idea should be creative and catchy. You get bonus points if the name you create relates to limes in an artsy, but not necessarily predictable way.
• Add your name ideas as a comment on this blog (show us some blog love!) or email me at emily@lemonlimestudios.com by May 25th. Your name will be entered in a drawing for a $20 iTunes gift card! Be sure to head on over to Molly's blog and get entered into her drawing as well!
Let the creative (and citrusy) juices flow!!
And because no post is complete with a photo or two...
We told you it's best we stay behind!

Kate is 9 months!
Kate was beautiful from the day she was born but every time I see her, she just keeps getting cuter! I love her dog, Wesley too! It is quite obvious that she and Kate are best buds. Kate always smiled the biggest when Wesley was around. It is such a relief that the sun is out and the warm weather is here! We had so much fun playing in the grass...in fact, it was one of Kate's first times in the grass and she did great!
Nothing melts my heart more than a kid with her dog!

Kaiden and Kennedy
Cutie-patooties! Kaiden and Kennedy are quite the pair! I had such a great time playing with them at the park (a perfect photo shoot spot!) and it was so much fun to see their individual personalities shine. Kaiden was definitely the more reserved of the two but quite the charmer with those dark eyes. Kennedy so animated and giggly...quite a ham for the camera! Thanks for a fun afternoon!

Project Childhood Update
The Project Childhood winner was announced on Mother's Day and went to Karima White for her image of a nine-year-old refugee from Somalia. A fantastic image and well deserving winner! You can see her image, along with the other top six entries at the Project Childhood and blog. My photo of Ava received 6th place!

Although accolades are nice, it's important to remember the reason behind this all. Christopher Lee, the founder of Project Childhood said, "Giving of ourselves is really the only investment that never fails, and over the course of the past month, several photographers from across the world united to give freely of themselves for the sake of one cause: TO CELEBRATE CHILDHOOD.
I have gained enough wisdom in this short-lived life of mine to know that our actions are the cornerstone of positive change in this world. Words are nice, and necessary at first, but real change must begin with action. With motion--motion set into place by the simple belief that we can make a difference.
I called upon photographers to utilize their art and their passion for something beyond themselves, for something that in essence contributed to the greater good of our society, and I was never at a loss when it came to willing participants and heartfelt stories. Perhaps this sounds a bit overly-wrought with drama (I mean, this is the end of PROJECT CHILDHOOD 2008), but idealism coupled with the strength to endure hardship can take us far in this world, and so I speak in a voice that demands attention and comes straight from the heart. Children are the future. Children are mirrors of the past, reflections of who we are today, and who we will be tomorrow."
