Emily Weiss Photography Blog bio picture

Thanks for visiting!

Hi I’m Emily. I am a Washington, DC fine art child and family photographer. I am the photographer for families that are looking beyond the perfectly posed portrait in your “Sunday Best” and want something more spirited, authentic, and artistically captures you real life. My favorite clients are adventurous, fun-loving, quirky, and have a desire to showcase that unique spirit in photographically artistic ways.

This blog is where I post my most recent sessions with clients, commercial assignments, my charitable photo projects and my personal photo projects. In additional I want to help parents display and take photos of their kids. I strongly believe that all kids deserve to feel like they are heard and seen int he world, and a great way to do that is through photography.

My hope is that by reading my posts and viewing my work you will see my creative viewpoint and think of me when searching for a photographer to help you create art of your child and family. Or maybe you will pick up on a technique or way of seeing that enables you to capture your kids in a different light. And hopefully you will find inspiration about how to display and showcase photos of your kids and family. Please leave me your thoughts, questions or ideas as a comment on the blog, or shoot me an email. I love the door that photography opens for connecting with other people, especially those that are as passionate about photography as I am.

ProPhoto Blog: Giving is Awesome

For all you photographers out there who are visiting my site via the ProPhoto2 Blog page…

First, I want to say that the Jared’s new theme ROCKS!! I started with ProPhoto 1 and was a beta tester for ProPhoto2…and he really has out done himself. ProPhoto2 is so user friendly, easy, and you really don’t need to know a thing about code, CSS stylesheets, plugins, or widgets. It is all built right in.

Second, I did not realize that as a beta tester for his theme, I would get a discount code to pass along AND that I would receive a little “kick back” from those that used my discount code. So that was a nice Holiday surprise. And seeing as it is the season of giving, and Giving is Awesome...I want to give a little “kick back” to my local community. I like to keep my donations in my community, just like the work I have done for Girls on the Run, it makes me feel like a better community citizen and a better human being.

If you use discount code EWEISS232 to purchase ProPhoto2, I will donate any monies I get in return to my favorite local charity Bright Beginnings Child Development Center. Bright Beginnings provides free, safe, and developmentally appropriate child care to children in homeless families in Washington, DC. Bright Beginnings serves about 186 children annually whose families are living in crisis shelters or transitional housing. Bright Beginnings takes a holistic approach to meeting the special needs of homeless families with young children and has developed a comprehensive program to include educational, therapeutic and family support services.

So make you life easier…get ProPhoto2, help homeless children get quality childcare, and use my code!

And if you have any questions…feel free to email me or leave me some blog love!

Shelley - Great work! I am glad I ran accross your blog.

Nicole - I love your site and your photos. I have been doing photography on the side for almost 10 years, but have never had the confidence to jump into it full-time. I have recently begun considering it again, now that I have a 4-month-old child.

I used to only do on-location shoots like you, but built a studio in my basement because of constant requests for more “studio-like” portraits. I miss doing just on-location. Kids are so much more fun in their natural habitat!

I just wanted to jot down a note and say hi and let you know that I love your work! It is inspirational.

-Nikki
