A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to spend the afternoon with my friends' two adorable little girls.  Here are a couple of photos that I took while we were hanging out together.  I tried a couple of different effects on the photos.  Let me know what you think!

Family Photos

A few weeks ago I got the chance to photograph a wonderful family, the Beckmans.  They had just had a cute baby boy one week prior to our session, and I was so happy they asked me to take photos of the new baby and the rest of the family.  Here are some of my favorite photos from the session.

Headshots

I was so happy when my younger sister told me she was coming to visit us in Houston.  My family lives in Michigan and I haven't seen them since Christmas, so I was eager for her to come and visit.  While she was here we decided to take some new headshots for her.  (She's a theater major at Hope College).  We had a great time and we got some awesome shots.  Here are just a few.  That was also the weekend I started training for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.  That's right, I'm running a marathon... and I'm raising $4500 for the cause!  If you'd like to donate (or if you'd like to have a photo session where the ENTIRE sitting fee goes towards the LLS, email me or check out this site--> http://pages.teamintraining.org/txg/nikesf09/ehansen)

The photo above is the headshot she chose for school.

Isn't she cute!?  

Engagement and Couple Photography

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to photograph my two friends Chelsea and Stephen.  We spent a nice Saturday afternoon at the Kemah Boardwalk.  I LOVE taking photos there because of all the great colors and activities.  It's so much fun.  It has some great restaurants as well... yummmm, Landrys :)

Enjoy the photos! (and make sure to go look at some more photos from the session on my site www.emilyhansenphotography.com)

Houston, TX Wedding & Portrait Photographer-Emily Hansen Photography- My NEW Blog!

Hey everyone!!!  Thanks for coming and checking out my blog!  I just did a mini-makeover to my photo website, and thought I'd add in a blog so you could see what projects we've recently been working on at Emily Hansen Photography.  As some of you may know, my husband, Matt and I moved down to Houston, Texas from Boston, Massachusetts after we got married last summer, and now we're getting used to southern living.  Here are some photos that I've taken since we've been down here.

Visit often and enjoy!

So, Matt and I literally moved to Houston RIGHT before Hurricane Ike.  We moved into our apartment the day our area was being evacuated.  Thankfully, we were safe and our home was fine.  Many wonderful people lost their homes and everything in them.  I was volunteering for awhile with a group called CORE who went out and helped gut some of the homes.  I took this photo a few months after the storm with a group that had come from Arizona to help out.  It was pretty cool how many people came from all around the US to help out.
