Steph and Jordan

There is an uber special place in my heart for Steph and Jordan. I've known both of them for many years now and you don't get much more quality and real than these two. Seriously. But that's not what makes them special. Ok it does, but there's more! The three of us have a pretty cool story. You see, Steph was the very first person I met in college! Yup, she was my freshman year roommate and has been my partner in crime ever since! We had one of those instant connections the second we met. You know, one who is more like family than a friend? Instant love. Yeah that's Steph. Come hell or high water, I want Steph in my corner. I still think she might be my long lost twin sister...hey it could happen...maybe...don't rain on my parade.

*Here we are right outside our dorm room freshman year.

Please excuse the attire.

We may or may not have been on our way to Tijuana.

The things you do when you're 18.*

I met Jordan a few years later in college...he sat next to me in a psychology class and wouldn't shut up. Ok not really...he was a model nerdy student, promise. We teamed up for a group project and were pretty much inseparable after that. I don't think there are many people who get me on a level like Jordan does. We share the same nerdy intellect and also a passion for photography! If I had a brother, I would sell my left kidney to make sure he was like Jordan.

*Here we are on New Years 2003 (?) in San Diego.

Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks? No? Is that just me? Sorry J.*

So what's the cool part??? Wait for it.....they're getting married!!!!!!!! Two of the people I love most in the whole wide world met and fell in love with each other! No joke! How absolutely perfect is that? Isn't life grand? Ahhh. Perfection. They were kind enough to appease me and my camera one night out in San Diego. Aren't they gorgeesh?!

Steph and Jordan, I'm so looking forward to January 2 when you officially start your journey together! You will always have huge pieces of my heart both individually and together. All my love to the both of you.

Hello World , I'm here!

Do you ever have one of those itches deep down inside? Or maybe it's a voice gently whispering in the back of your head... or in my case rudely yelling profanities at you to wake up and get your act together? Well, it has been getting awfully loud in my head the last couple of years and oddly enough I've been trying to ignore all that ruckus. Why? I'm not entirely sure. I just know that I've always been a nerdy science girl with a passion for the performing and visual arts. Weird combo, right? I blame my engineer father and my theatre mother. Their fault entirely. They say opposites attract, no? Needless to say I've been quite conflicted from an early age dabbling in photography, videography, theatre and dance along with science fairs, space camp, and one too many biology classes. I love it all...can't choose...don't even try and make me! Nope, won't do it. Well the last 4 years of my life were spent catering to my left brain studying neuroscience and autism and I've had a blast! Oh my nerdy self loved every last second of it. If only that obnoxious voice would leave me alone. Quiet in there! I guess my right brain needs a little attention too. So, here I am. I'm finally doing it. I was a lot of talk at first. You thought I wouldn't actually do it, but I made good on those words....Emmy Cube Photography has arrived!

Welcome to my blog! I am very excited to finally be here. :) I hope you will come along with me on my photographic journey while I learn, grow --and yeah, have a little fun. School starts soon so stay tuned as I'm sure to document some of my assignments. And oh yeah, I'm lucky enough to have some great friends who let me point my camera at them and shoot away. Thank you guys for being so brave and helping me to quiet the monster in my head...in fact it's already a lot calmer in there...hmmm she might be sleeping...ahhhhhhhh peace.....finally.
