Making Strides against Breast Cancer... with caricature swag

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Pink ribbons, balloons and attire everywhere you look!


For the second year, my caricatures for returning walkers were being sponsored by CSC Global.


(This lady said to make sure I included her Grinch!)

I did have a pink hoodie on under my coat, but it was a chilly morning (my hours were 8:45-10:45, so my gloves were definitely ON!) 
Thanks for having me!

We even took a turn at the photobooth with our artistic implements of choice:
Now for some caricatures:

Silhouettes for two brides at historic hotel

The Guild House Hotel in Philadelphia was the setting on Saturday, for an intimate wedding reception, for two lovely brides and their guests. The lobby was full of feminist and suffragist lore, and antiques, it was wonderful ambiance! I appropriately wore my Edwardian dress for this event.

You can see more on my IG: Reel 1 



 

Because I know I would be doing a collage of all the silhouettes later, I didn't take any "subject with silhouette photos." The guests all got their own silhouette as a wedding favor. Then, each duplicate silhouette that I kept, got stapled to their partner so I would know "who went with whom" when it came time to put them all together, after scanning them digitally. 
Here is the collage!
Thank you ladies, for having me, and to The Bash for putting us together!
Update: I later received this review, thank you so much!

: "Emily was wonderful! From the start, she was incredibly responsive and made the booking process seamless. 
Our guests loved their silhouettes, and we now have wonderful keepsakes from our special day. Highly recommend!”
