Emily Karr Photography

Meet Esmé... I first met her sweet family 3 1/2 years ago when her big brother Wyatt was born. I LOVE watching our EKP families grow. Doesn't she have the most beautiful hair? #ekpbabies #buffalonewbornphotographer #springvillebabyphotographer #awardwinningphotographer #babygirl #newbornphotos For more info on booking your own newborn portrait experience visit www.emilykarr.com

Here's a little follow up for the train track story I posted awhile back.. several people commented or PM'd me about how they couldn't believe someone could die on train tracks w/o hearing the train approach. This is how quickly it happens... please keep your family safe & stay off the tracks. https://www.westernmassnews.com//article_526bf2b6-e7eb-5f8

Just wow! This is why you come to a studio...and why we offer tours and maternity sessions. EKP is safety certified AND a qualified newborn photographer. We also have 22 years experience and a Master in Photography. Get to know your photographer and dont trust just anyone with the safety of your baby and family. Ugh.

Happy Valentine's Day & Happy Friday! Sorry guys... I had to!

Our phones are acting up AGAIN... if anyone needs anything, please reach out via messenger. I truly miss the days of real phone lines being the norm.

How many of you grew up like this? This is my childhood pretty much to a T. Truth...I grew up in the sticks in the Town of Concord... or Corncob as we called it... later moved to Collins. The area code was (716) for every phone number. We didn't have designer clothes.Most came from Hills, Ames, Kmart & eventually Walmart (when they finally built one). And we wore what our parents bought us. It was a splurge if your parents went to Sears or JC Penney's & it rarely happened -... maybe for your one pair of dress shoes & your one pair of sneakers. Shopping at K-Mart for a blue light special while eating the popcorn and drinking a Cherry Icee was a treat. So was going for ice cream on a hot day! Riding anywhere in the car with no seat belts or riding in the back of a pick up truck seemed safe at the time. I loved going to drive in movies, usually in our PJ's!! The popcorn in a brown paper bag with so much butter on it you could see it seeping through. 25 cents got you 25 pieces of penny candy You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your play clothes. We had to do our homework before being allowed outside to play. We ate dinner at the table as a family. I rode the bus for nearly an hour to school every day. There was no taking or picking you up in the car until later in high school lol! TVs didn’t have remotes, we had to actually get up to change the channel. At some point we did get a remote haha!!! We played Mother May I, Marco Polo, Hopscotch, Cowboys and Indians, Cops and Robbers, Red Light Green Light, Red Rover, Hide & Seek, Truth or Dare, Tag, Baseball, 4 square, Kick Ball, Dodge Ball, rode bikes, spent the night in our own woods or own back yard! Girls could spend hours playing Barbies or house. Boys played football in the yard. Staying in the house was a punishment!! Bored??? Ha! I remember my Mom saying..."You better find something to do before I find it for you!" We ate what Mom made for dinner or we ate nothing at all... sometimes it was pea soup or chili for seemingly a week. (We weren’t allowed to leave the table until our plate was clear). There was no bottled water; we drank from the tap or the water hose (hot). We watched cartoons on Saturday mornings, and rode our bikes for hours without a cell phone. We babysat or did hay or barn chores for our farm neighbors. We weren't AFRAID OF ANYTHING. If someone had a fight, that's what it was and we were friends again a week later, if not SOONER. We played til dark, sunset was our curfew. School was mandatory and teachers and police were people who you could TRUST and respect. We watched our mouths around our elders because ALL of our elders (including neighbors) also disciplined! You didn't want them telling your PARENTS if you misbehaved. These were the good ole days. I loved my childhood...!!! Kids these days will never understand how we grew up!!! ***Good Times*** Copy & Paste if this is how you grew up! See more
