This week we spotlight one of our talented members, Emily Krbec, a Caledon, Ontario photographer.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I’m a 20-something mama to one very spirited 2 year old boy. I am married to my high school sweetheart and polar opposite. Our family a little quirky, and very silly. I’m slightly obsessed with purple. I honestly believe in faeries. And I try to keep a smile on my face at all times.
Where do you call home?
Wherever my boys are. Right now, that is in Caledon, Ontario.
How long have you been doing photography?
My love affair with photography started in high school, but the business side of things didn’t come about until after my son was born. I am now in my 2nd year of business and am loving every moment of it!
How did you learn photography?
I studied photography in college, and learned a lot about the basics, but feel like the real learning started afterwards, when I discovered the awesome photographer community online. I realized that portraits can be so much more than I had ever learned at school.
Who is your biggest influence/inspiration?
I’ve got inspiration flying at me everywhere! I like to get my daily dose of pinterest, check up on my blog reader, and look for local talent to share on my site The Friendly Photographer. I also gain inspiration from the everyday shenanigans of my son, traipsing through the aisles at the thrift store, and just living life! I also currently have a photog crush on Michele Anderson (Pinkletoes Photography).
Do you specialize in a certain area of photography? What kind of photographs make your heart sing?
I love to photograph newborns, children, and their families. I’m in love with images that are honest, unexpected, and beautifully lit. I love colour, but can also fall in love with a gorgeous black and white.
What’s in your camera bag? If you had to choose just one lens, what would it be?
I love my Nikon D700, and like to pair it with my 50mm 1.4. What a divine combination! I’ve also recently acquired a 24-70mm 2.8 and have been loving using it for sessions with speedy toddlers!
What’s your favorite photography accessory/extra?
I pretty much love my new Kelly Moore hobo bag
What does 4TLOF do for you & your business?
4TLOF gives me a place to talk shop, so I don’t have to annoy my husband every second of the day! It’s a place where I can chat with trusted professionals about all the nitty gritty details of my business.
What does being a part of 4TLOF mean to you?
Being a part of 4TLOF means being a part of a fabulous group of women, all working towards similar goals and helping each other achieve them!
