The art roll that I'm on continues! I honestly am not sure I've been this prolific in over a decade and it feels great. I might even fill up a notebook relatively soon and then get to pick another one from my pile-of-loved-but-unused-notebooks!

Check it this piece and consider supporting me on ko-fi!

Hi all! Long time no post! I've been on a bit of a roll art-wise. This is due to lots of different stuff, but a major factor is figuring out some of my own neurodivergence and what hasn't been working for me. And now I'm on ko-fi! If you're interested in supporting me and/or seeing more of my work and process head over there! It is at ko-fi.com/emilyanngarcia (also in my bio). Thanks friends

Hi all! I have a very hard time keeping up with social media, but I'm slowly trying to move things along here and in other avenues of my web presence! You may have noticed that I changed my name over here from Photography to Creative -- this is because of the reality that I do more than photos these days! Since I'm already lost on keeping up with the social media I have, I am unlikely to manage accounts for all of my different projects, so here we are :)

I am still doing photography, so do hit me up if you need that! But I'm also doing a new thing, and here I am telling you about it.

I am really good at helping people figure out how to dress themselves -- especially, but not limited to, people who fall outside of societies expectations (q***r? fat? sensory or skin sensitives? etc). I may not be the best at hyping myself, but here are some words from one of my major champions, Caitlin Reilley Beck. They write, in part:

" I am a fat, q***r, genderq***r person who was bullied for how I looked - I never thought that I would regularly wear clothes that I am excited about, but I do now. ...
But this isn't just about my experience, this is about you and your style and your life. Shopping, style and clothing can be hard for a lot of people for many different reasons. Emily really gets that and wants to help people have a different relationship with these things, while also just practically accomplishing the necessary human task of finding clothes to put on your body for your life. You need to wear clothes anyways, Emily can help make finding them and wearing them an actually good experience in this nightmare world. I RECOMMEND THIS VERY STRONGLY."

Also, please know that while I do have specific packages on my website, I did that mostly to make the possibilities of how we could work together less daunting. I am very happy to talk about working outside of them if you have an idea of what would be helpful to you or if you want to talk and try to figure out what would be helpful to you!

Was lucky enough last night to hear some powerful words from some incredible humans and help them out with some photography. Check out WAVAW-Rape Crisis Centre's new zine, Recognition and consider supporting their incredible work!

I've been working on getting out of my introvert bubble and meeting new people to make new portraits. In an effort to deny the unending freezing cold winter, I'm doing them all outside. The weather has been unpredictable, but I am prevailing. Here are a few of samples of what I've been up

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending and photographing the vigil for Philando Castile and Alton Sterling held by Black Lives Matter Vancouver. All the people who organized and spoke were incredible. I hesitate to say much about it because I want you to see their awesomeness, not my words. Rest In Power, Philando and Alton.

Here is your first glimpse at this year's Proclaim retreat. A wonderful group of people to spend time with!

As always, tag away, as I'm not always [Facebook] friends with everyone. I will post more a link to more photos once they've all been edited.

If you were at the retreat and are interested in seeing your headshot, it'll probably be at least 2 more weeks before I get to those. You can email me (Jen sent out non-BCCed messages to everyone before the retreat -- you can my email address there) and when I've done yours, I'll send it to you along with usage guidelines.

Thanks for the awesome retreat everyone!

I had the incredible privilege of attending the Bat Mitzvah of a young friend of mine in Chicago this past weekend.  It was a delightful party and the photos are coming out nicely.  Here are a few previews!

Hey guys! I got new business cards in the mail today! I had them shipped to Dallas, since I am there for a couple weeks and it really was a highlight of my week, especially in all this heat!

Don't they look great? A few of you might recognize yourselves here :)

Well I've updated my website. And I've made myself a page. It's like I'm a whole new person! I'm going to keep working on it, but for those of you who have been clients or friends-in-the-right-place and have been photographed by me, I'd appreciate your support by liking my page!

Business head shots to casual profile photos. Family portraits or fashion shots. A new photo directory for your organization or custom images for your website. I can help you come up with the imagery you need to highlight the people in your life or in your organization.
