Photo by Emilie, aka Miracle Worker

If you’re not in Utah, this post will be of absolutely no use to you, but I have to talk about Emilie.

A while back I won a Halloween photo shoot on the Oh Sweet Sadie blog.  I *really* wanted Campbell and Bennett in the pics together on account of their theme-y costumes, but Campbell has a bit of a “history” with getting pictures taken.

We left a studio after an hour without a single shot taken one Christmas.  And the photographer actually told me it was Campbell’s fault.

He doesn’t like people touching him or talking to him.  Add the bright lights to the mix?  It’s all over.

“Normal” family pictures are one of those things you take for granted until you have a kid that just can’t handle it.

I expressed my concerns to Emilie and she told me she had lots of experience with special needs kids and to bring him.  She even scheduled us right before lunch, just in case.  (And remember…I hadn’t even paid for this photo shoot.)

And guess what?

She’s magic.  Not a single melt down.  No rolling around on the ground.  No trying to eat his shirt.

If you’re a local, give Emilie a call, ESPECIALLY if you have kids with special needs.  I think I have a crush on her.

Would it be creepy if I signed up for her class at Oh Sweet Sadie AcademyWinking smile

    Those are some awesome pictures. I can see the love and their expressions are so precious. You will definitely adore these pictures for YEARS to come. I will have to check her out. She gave you a remarkable gift too.

  6. I won a gift from Emilie and got to pick what I wanted. I chose an hour with her tutoring me on picture taking. Isn't she great? Must run in that family! Those pictures are wonderful! She not only got good pics. but managed to capture their personalities! Wonderful!

  8. Jarod & Jamie says:

    Never to fear my sister takes all of our pictures and my sister told me my daughter is probably the worst kid to get pictures of.

    Your pictures turned out so very cute. I love the costumes.

    Char, they are DARLING. She is very talented! And I realized that I went to high school with her. :)

  20. Kalleen at Second Street says:

    Okay,I'm loving these photo's. The right photographer makes all the difference.

  21. Kim @ craftyNHmom says:

    I just had to tell you those are the cutest boys ever! LOVE LOVE LOVE those costumes and photos of them together. That photographer really is magical. I wish I lived closer to that area, I'd see what she could do with my 4 kids. We don't have any good pictures of all of them together. One of my boys has Asperger's and sensory issues, so I really related to your previous post about selecting a costume. Now he'll probably want to be Santa every year! :D James (my 12 yo. son with AS) once told me when he grew up he wanted to be Santa.

    Congrats on a job well done with the costumes and photos!!

    Oh what great pictures of the boys. I am sure you will go back to her again. What a special photographer to capture your son's picture. I am still excited about their costumes too! What a blessed time for you.

  25. Sewing Nutter says:

    Those photos are absolutely magnificent and the boys are so beautiful. She is very talented and as others have said captured their personalities wonderfully. I've looked at the photos over and over. Their costumes are awesome too!

  26. Photo By Emilie says:
