Lakeside wedding reception with caricatures!

 Absolutely wonderful wedding reception! 

Ambiance Reel

Let's start at the beginning. I had never been to this venue before...the Lake House Inn, it's in rural Bucks County on Lake Nockamixon and it is spectacular! I took this photo from where the cocktail hour would eventually happen:

Then I quickly set up and waited for the guests to appear:

Here they are (a few from cocktail hour)

Even the newborn got a caricature!

Then at sunset, everyone adjourned to the tented ballroom on the lake:

The bride and groom came in and did a fabulous first dance, which I decided would 

be immortalized in their wedding caricature...

Here's their reaction on my IG!

Yes, I drew more guests too:

Thanks for having me!!!

Food Truck company picnic caricatures!

 The rain (luckily) held off until 10 minutes before this four-hour event was over! Yay!!

The first drawing was a couple with their therapy dog:

( they take her to nursing homes to love on the residents)

Worked next to a new friend! WildflowerArtist.com

She took these pics of me at work:

You can see my customized t-shirt here!

What a great day! Thanks for having me!

Summer camp silhouettes!

This is the result of 2.5 hours of cutting silhouettes nonstop...with a very capable camp counselor assisting me--by writing names on the back, and bagging them, to go home with each child at dismissal. 

I'd say it was a successful venture!

Thank you for having me!

Update: here's what my client had to say: 

Thank you, Emily! They came out so amazing and unique! We got such great feedback from the parents! We definitely will be recommending you for the future! 

PhD send-off with caricatures!

I didn't realize that this happy event was being held in the banquet area of my hubby's and my favorite dim-sum place in Philly! And on Sunday, this neighborhood has free parking. 

So it started off with a win-win...

Then I met (and drew)  the beautiful young lady who is going off to grad school:

Her family and friends were happy to get caricatures too!

And these two smiled AFTER they saw their drawing!!

Of course I got some take-out to share with my hubby when I got home!

Congrats and thanks so much for having me!

Crazy caricature antics and storms at company picnic!

I had done this annual event in Delaware some years ago and this year, I did it under the auspices of my crazy colleague Patfreaky Harrington. 

Emily's Ambiance Reel     Reaction Reel

We arrived on a HOT & HUMID day and started drawing eager (and sweaty) faces under a tent...

Then THIS MESS approached: (we were at the upper right)

Thunder boomed, lightning crackled and winds blew...so I literally THREW all my gear and myself into my car (haphazardly I should say) and sat out the downpour ...

Pat kept drawing. :-O

Eventually I joined him again and drew a bunch more, including whole families. I barely used any paper at this event!

Thanks for having us!!
