Emily Thurmond Photography bio picture

Welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to view our work! We hope you love the new blog and HUGE images as much as we do!

I love what I do. Plain and simple. I have the best job and I get to spend time with the most wonderful families. I love patiently waiting for a newborn to become "bendy and floppy," capturing a baby laughing and sitting up- sometimes for the first time, chasing a toddler *everywhere*, helping a senior to become relaxed and model-esque, or dancing in front of a family just to get "the shot." I work hard to personalize each session and to create beautiful artwork for you and your families to enjoy for years to come.

Take a few minutes to scroll through the images on this page and the ones from past sessions. There are 5 posts per page with a list at the bottom. You can also search by category. If you are looking something specific like maternity or newborn you can click on the link to view just those images.

Take a second to say Hi! We'd love to hear from you through the comments section on each post or with the contact tab at the top of the page. Thanks for stopping by. We look forward to meeting you.

.:Family by marriage, Friends by choice {Denton Engagement Photographer}:.

Meet Dustin and Aubri, My bother in law and soon to be sister in law. I was flattered when they asked me to shoot their engagement photos. They were such naturals in front of the camera. I know they doubted themselves in the beginning but quickly turned into models! ;) I love you guys and I can’t wait to have another sister!blog42Dustin has some mad po-go skills that may or may not have included po-going off of my in-laws house into the pool.blog52blog61He’s also got some mad engagement skills… He asked Aubri to marry him by cutting out a hole in the pages of an old book (they are both lovers of classic literature) and popping the ring box into the hole! So thoughtful!blog71Aubri brought Dustin this little guitar from a trip to Hawaii (LUCKY!). blog8blog9blog12blog22blog32

I enjoyed our evening! Like I said I not only call you guys family, but also friends. I’m excited to see what’s in store for you and can’t wait for the wedding!  Love y’all!

Until next time,

Emily

Dear Audrey,

When did you learn to pedal bike? Mommy can’t handle all of this growing up that you are doing. The pedaling, the pottying in the big girl potty, the giving up the whole passy thing, and all of this begging for a big girl bed is just way too much for me. Will you slow down alot just a little so I can enjoy you being two for a few more months?

Love, Mommy

(I know that photo isn’t great but when she started pedaling I ran inside very quickly to grab my camera and guessed on the settings as I was running out the door. She has PCS (Photographer’s Child Syndrome), remember? Now she will flat out ignore me when the camera is out.)

Julie - A gorgeous capture of your beauty!June 12, 2009 - 9:17 am

.:Sugar and Spice {Denton Childrens Photographer}:.

While I was working on these photos a rush of memories came to me… I’m friends with Mackenzie’s (super proud) Aunt Kikee (pronounced: kick-ee. She’s actually Kristi but you know when a baby says your name like that, it just has to stick) and I can remember the day her mom found out she was pregnant with this sweet girl. Then, on her birthday I called and texted for hourly updates on her grand entrance into the world. I can also remember holding her in the hospital when she was just about 48  hours old and wondering if I would get that warm and fuzzy feeling with my own child that I got when snuggling with her and if I would think my baby was as beautiful as she was. Because she is such a natural beauty. She is sugar and spice. My daughter often reminds me of the stories I heard about Mackenzie in her toddler years. Now that she’s a big girl, I can’t wait to see how she grows and matures into a little lady.blog41blog51blog11blog21blog31

Mackenzie, you were a delight. I hope you were able to pick out some really fabulous junk trinkets at the dollar store (one of her FAVORITE places) and I sure hope Aunt Kikee took you and to get a HUGE scoop of ice cream! You deserve it!

Until next time,

Emily

Kallie - what a sweet girl!June 12, 2009 - 6:49 pm

.:Olivia Marie, day 10 {Dallas Newborn Photographer}:.

This sweet little munchkin was so patient with us, and the prop changes, different positions, poky feathers, and *me* allll up in her face. She was a dream and I really enjoyed the opportunity to photograph sweet, squishy, Olivia.blog51blog6blog31blog21blog11Ummm…. Hi.
