national model search

About a month ago I posted a special for Sandy Puc's National Model search. This is a great contest to find America's cutest kid and also is raising money for a charity I'm involved with, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NLMDTS). Here's how the contest works.

Go to the website: www.sandypucvotes.com

Enter the Grand Rapids gallery and click on the Tab "O-P". Vote as many times as you want, each vote costs $1 and goes to benefit the charity NLMDTS.

And there is still time to book your session if you'd like to enter your child in the contest. They have to be between the ages of 18 months - 14 years old. E-mail if you're interested at emily@emilyraephotography.com .

Vote Now for the Effort!!

My husband's band The Effort entered the April in the D songwriting contest with 101 WRIF in Detroit and they are in the final 3!! Go to the site below and vote for them. You have to register with your e-mail address, but you can opt out of the automatic e-mails if you like. Take a couple minutes to support the effort!!!

Engagement Session

Here are photos from a recent engagement session with Jolanda and Jim. This was my first time meeting Jim, but I have known Jolanda for more than 10 years. Jolanda was my small group leader when I was in high school and her younger brother James is married to my best friend Melissa. Congratulations Jolanda and Jim!

Another precious newborn. She is so adorable and her sisters even got in a few photos. Newborn sessions are so fun.
