Update

Now blogging at www.emilymargaret.com/blog


Hey guys! As you may have noticed (or more likely not, as I'm not good at posting regularly, oops), I haven't updated this blog in a while. I've decided to completely move over to my new blog which is connected to my photography website.

I'm still on the same social media platforms and you can now follow my photography + life blog on bloglovin. So hop on over and check out my site and let me know what you think!

Guest Post on The Collaboreat + New Blog


Hello friends! This will be my last post before I take a Christmas break. I wanted to share a post I wrote and photographed for the travel and food site, The Collaboreat. This month, they're featuring hot chocolate- places to get a cup and recipes for making your own. You can find my post right here!

I also wanted to announce that I've started a new blog over on my website, EmilyMargaret.com. Until now, this blog is where I've been sharing my photography sessions. I've decided to move over to the Squarespace platform for my photo sessions as I feel it will make things a bit cleaner and streamline the blogging process. Don't worry, I'm not going to totally abandon this blog, however! New plans for it are in the works.

I will see you back here in January! Have a merry Christmas and happy new year!

Little H and Family | Paducah, KY Photographer

It's amazing how fast little ones grow. Back in the summer I photographed this little guy's first birthday party (which is one of my favorite photo sets) and he's already changed so much. This time around, he was on the move and stopping for photographs was not in his agenda. However, we got some good shots and I choose a few of my favorites to share with you today.

Chalkboard Mug | a DIY gift


Can I just say that this is a pinterest DIY that actually works? It's a really easy project and makes a great non-expensive gift idea. I made this for a friend's birthday and I know I'd love to receive something like this as a gift. 

I painted a small rectangle on the side of my mug, but you can do it however you'd like - paint the whole outside of the mug, half of the mug, a band around it, or a circle on the side, whatever you want. Just be sure to include instructions to hand wash the mug with your gift to keep it looking its best.

Lovely Letters November


Back in the summer I participated in my first blog mail swap in the August Lovely Letters. I loved getting to know someone new and sending a package of surprises. I decided to do it again this month and was pared with the sweet Monica from walk/humbly, who is also a photographer. I am so glad we were paired together, as we have similar tastes. We pretty much sent the same things to each other in our packages, which I thought was so fun!

Here's what I sent Monica:

And the lovely package Monica sent me:
