Emilee Fuss Photography – the blog

Friday Five is hitting the blog a day late! Why am I always behind with my Friday Five posts? It was on my to-do list yesterday, I promise! But better late than never, right?

1. Nature’s Embrace Aromatherapy – I found these all natural products at Pawprint Essentials, and they are must haves. While Buddy isn’t prone to fleas or ticks, he does get itchy. Which means more scratching, which leaves more piles of black hair on the floor, which makes me vacuum more, which is no fun. I picked up some of the Nature’s Embrace natural shine shampoo and therapy conditioner, and it works wonders for Buddy’s skin. It stops and itch and gives us all relief! And another great thing? It’s locally made, so I can support a fellow local small business owner when I purchase these products. Yay!
2. Layla Grace - Oh, my sweet niece. She is just the cutest thing. I’m so excited to share that she has just started laughing! She’s only laughed a few times, but when she does it is just adorable. When I had my senior portraits taken last week (pictures soon to come!), the photographer, Synethia, really got her laughing. It was the first time I had ever heard her laugh, and it made me so happy. Now, if only we could get her to laugh like that again. How did you do it, Synethia?!
3. Chocolate – Need I say more?
4. Labs – I love Labs. And not just because I am a proud Lab mom. They are such fantastic dogs – so exuberant, smiley, friendly, and fun. I have never met a sad or unhappy Lab, and don’t think I ever will. Two of my clients at our mini session event were Labs (one was  Lab mix), and they made my day. I was getting quite tired when they came in for their appointments, and working with such joyful dogs really lifted my spirits. Who can look at a happy Lab and not smile?
5. Tamron 28-75 2.8 – I’ve been loving my new lens! I’ve hardly taken it off my camera since it arrived. To be honest, I feel bad, like I’m betraying my 50 1.8. The nifty fifty was my main lens for over a year and I loved it (and still do!). But the Tamron has had most of my attention lately. I used it exclusively at a recent beach session (see photo below), and at our mini session event this past Wednesday. It’s a fabulous lens! But don’t worry, my dear nifty fifty, I still love you, too!

To finish off, here’s one of the handsome little boys I had the pleasure of photographing at the beach this morning. I’m still portfolio building for baby and child photography, so if you’re interested in a reduced rate session, contact me! I’d love to photograph more pudgy babies and happy kiddos. :)
