Emily Corey Photography bio picture
  • A few things about me: i am mom to an amazing four year old. her name is lulu. she calls herself yuyu. i love my dog. his name is lloyd. he came with the name. he is a mutt. he smiles (I swear!) i met my husband the my first night out in college. he spotted me across the room:) i inherited my love of photography from my mom. even while raising five kids, she would go to her darkroom at night and develop photographs. yes, i am one of five children. i LOVE taking pictures. i love capturing moments. i love that every session provides new inspiration. life is fleeting. my dad instilled in me an appreciation of the fragility of the moment. my goal is to capture those moments. the ones you may not have even known existed until you saw it captured through my camera.

day three

afternoon art session. pantless, of course.

day two

hey yall…doing a little blog maintenance here. sweet, precious, lovely jenna is helping me:) it is still a work in progress but thought i would go ahead and open the blog back up!

yesterday lu had her first ballet lesson. she was very excited. she hopped into the class and started showing the teacher all of her moves. an hour later the doors opened and she came out claiming it was not fun. lulu just likes to play and be in charge. so i am not surprised. ok but seriously she looked so cute in her leotard i almost died. so cute.

feeling so grateful it is friday. a week of solo parenting kicked my butt. glad to have lee r back home. and literally i am looking over to my right as i type and lu AND lloyd are in lee r’s lap. they are happy he is home too.

day one

lulu has had quite a social calender lately. she has seriously had a playdate almost everyday for the past few weeks. so i decided to have a playdate of my own with her yesterday. we drove to raleigh after school and went to the natural history museum. lu’s favorite part was the dinosaurs (even though she was a wimp and hid under my leg). she also liked the chinchilla. she named her sally. after the museum we went to an awesome park nearby for a bit. the evening ended with dinner out with grandma. mexican outside. ahh i love this weather.

 

project…

i want a new project. thinking i will start a  february project in lieu of 31 day of lulu that i do every july. or maybe in addition. we will see. so, starting wednesday, a pic a day of lulu every single day of february.and i will post them. every day.:)

latest lu….. lee and i went to her conference last week. she is doing awesome…but there was a note that ‘lulu is sometimes distracted by her own curiosity’..hee. i asked her teacher if i could please hold her back..i am NOT ready for her to be gone from 9-3:30 next year. she said no way..she is ready. and i know, i know…she is beyond ready for kindgergarten. it is just her mommy that is not:( fun stuff ahead..we are leaving for disney in 2 weeks and that is lu’s focus in life at this point. we have had more then a few conversations about which princess outfit she should wear to the princess lunch. serious decisions.

ok, so project begins on wednesday….!

 

 

clean update

ok, confession.

saturday night (11 or so days into the cleanse) lu and lee were discussing dinner. pizza came up. i couldnt take it anymore. so i called a one night off. pizza + martini= not so much clean. woke up the next morning and decided i was done. not done, done. i am still eating clean for the most part..just not the 2 liquid meals a day stuff. but listen, best decision ever to do the cleanse. it was hard, but totally reset my body. i really feel more energetic and happier then i have in so long. it had been too many years of being a poor eating vegetarian. eating so much healthier. exercising. i feel awesome. actually right now i am drinking green juice (kale, apples, ginger, lemon). seriously, who am i?:)

so, there you have it..my confession. i am a clean dropout.
