& Tracy tied the knot elope-style last year, juuuust before we were able to get some engagement portraits in. Luckily, they were still game to take some pictures as newlyweds! I love shooting these two, especially in the vintage backdrop of the Tower District in Fresno--a place that reflects their personalities and their love. I adore their sense of humor and had a blast hanging out with them all afternoon. Congrats, lavabirds!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy22.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/jeffersontracy25.jpg"></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7757422776741021275-4326602258545543429?l=jenniferemerling.blogspot.com'/></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-5645542504157740792009-02-13T18:04:00.000-08:002009-02-13T18:06:25.734-08:00I am also featured in the Escapes section of this month's issue of Florida Travel + Life for a story they did on Mount Dora, Florida.

We did two locations and two themes in one evening. The first was the "derby pageant"--an idea I came up with and had been dying to execute for a while. Originally I wanted to shoot them in the <a href="http://www.towertheatrefresno.com/" target="_blank">Tower Theater</a> or a similar venue, but we didn't want to pay to use their stage. Luckily, my favorite derby girl, <a href="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/countryliving38.jpg" target="_blank">Kim Burly</a>, arranged to have us use her church's stage and tacky green curtain as a backdrop. <br /><br />I'm pretty happy with how a lot of these turned out, but I'm not entirely sure that I nailed the pageant feel I was going for, especially since only four girls did the "talent" and "swimsuit" portion of the pageant (my favorite part of the idea), which hurt the overall picture package. But regardless, the bottom line is that I did this shoot for the SCRG and not for me, so I really just wanted to make them look amazingly gorgeous and fun!<br /><br />The second part of the shoot was a lot more straight forward--hot chicks in an auto shop--and, as always, I had a blast taking pictures of these amazing women!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_mcred.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_lottaleadpipe_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_lottaswim.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_karen_web03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_karen.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_bettyrocker_web03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_evaabhor.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_lolalachola_web03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/pageant_talent.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/pageant_pookie_web05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_badmoonrisner_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_evaabhor_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_bettyrocker_web01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_suzysweetknuckles_web04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_karen_web04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_karen_web05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_kimburly_web02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_lottaleadpipe_web02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/cars_mcred_web05.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/scrgportraits/scrggroup_web01.jpg"></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7757422776741021275-6030697270899970553?l=jenniferemerling.blogspot.com'/></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-63515712342556056342008-09-15T23:40:00.000-07:002008-09-15T23:47:26.931-07:00Scenes from a weekly Pride Night at the Granada Theater in Lawrence, Kansas.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight03.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight08.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight11.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/dragnight17.jpg"></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7757422776741021275-6351571234255605634?l=jenniferemerling.blogspot.com'/></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-24957549897185023342008-09-07T01:16:00.001-07:002008-09-07T01:30:24.259-07:00A week ago I graduated college, moved out of my house, and then immediately hopped on a plane bound for Kansas City to shoot a wedding. It's strange to go through so many changes at once--they all happen so fast that you hardly have time to reflect on it all. So here I sit late at night in a friend's apartment a few blocks away from KU, and I can't help but miss the sun (it's been cold and raining) and think about my time at Brooks. Three long years and it's all over... hard to believe. On any given day my mood will range from feeling excited and determined, to utterly terrified and lost. I have no idea what to expect or where to begin, but I think I'm on the right path.<br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/kansas01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/kansas02.jpg"><br /><br />I hope the sun comes back out tomorrow.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7757422776741021275-2495754989718502334?l=jenniferemerling.blogspot.com'/></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-49151787942596894932008-09-04T09:55:00.000-07:002008-09-04T10:05:46.070-07:00The Ventura County Derby Darlin's had a bout with Bakersfield a few weeks ago and, of course, I was in attendance to take pictures and hang out. The girls played a great game with the score almost always tied, up until the last 60 seconds when Bakersfield just barely beat out Ventura by 2 points. Even with the defeat, I can safely say that the darlins' put up a good fight and were just as beautiful and entertaining as always!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust09.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust29.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/vcderbyaugust30.jpg"></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7757422776741021275-4915178794259689493?l=jenniferemerling.blogspot.com'/></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-77494512788132244612008-08-19T00:03:00.000-07:002008-08-19T00:38:42.242-07:00A little over a week ago I photographed <a href="http://www.lucentdossier.com/">Lucent Dossier</a> at <a href="http://www.edisondowntown.com/">The Edison</a> in downtown Los Angeles. The best way I can think to describe watching Lucent Dossier is by simply saying that it. was. AMAZING. Truly a performance unlike anything I've ever witnessed. It didn't even feel like they were "performing" most of the time; it was just so organic and seamless that you felt like you were a part of the era they were channeling. I was blown away by all the thought that went into how they used the space and all the little surreal details they added in order to create an experience I'll never forget. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend that you all see them once in your life. It is well worth it. I hope I can go back this Wednesday and shoot them again!<br /><br /><center><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier01.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier02.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier04.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier06.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier15.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier23.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier25.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier31.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier35.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://jenniferemerling.com/lj/lucentdossier36.jpg"></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7757422776741021275-7749451278813224461?l=jenniferemerling.blogspot.com'/></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07285800044567139794jemerling@gmail.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757422776741021275.post-67508992531565258012008-08-03T23:18:00.000-07:002008-08-04T00:28:47.163-07:00I photographed the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/vcdevilsdarlins">Ventura County Derby Darlins</a> at their inter-league bout last weekend to add to the roller derby photo essay I'm working on. They had the disco team--whose name I can't remember--(in silver) versus the punk rock team--the CBGB's--(in gold), and if memory serves, I believe the CBGB's won. It's become challenging me to find new persectives and new moments the more and more I photograph derby, while also trying to get that one essential action shot (nope, I still don't have it... but I'm getting closer).
