Glorious evening for late-summer wedding caricatures!

This sweet couple had a very loving and delightful reception at an exceptionally beautiful venue, Rosewood Farms. I was so happy to be a part of it!

Cocktail hour was in the basement and patio  area of a rustic old barn...

I was kept VERY busy by the thrilled-to-be-getting-a-caricature guests...this group is from the cocktail hour, which went longer than planned :-)

And luckily, I don't hesitate to draw amazing decolletes. if these are presented to me

 (these ladies were QUITE happy with the results!)

Then I moved into the ballroom for the reception itself, the entrances were made, the dances were danced, the speeches were spoken, and I continued to caricature:

( I drew at this couple's wedding reception in early 2021, the first wedding after the worst of the pandemic was over...and the current wedding couple decided my caricatures were the most memorable thing at that reception...hence, booking me themselves! I love when things work out that way!)

Finally, the happy couple themselves! Thank you for having me, Sara and Dusty!

 

Pink and Orange 30th Birthday Caricatures!

Well, this weekend, the weather decided to be just *perfect* for outdoor parties! Everyone enjoyed sitting outside and getting a caricature from me, at this early-evening backyard 30th birthday party. First up was the birthday girl, and she included her hubby and kids in her color caricature. :-)

Then came a stream of guests of all ages. :-)

My lovely client had this to say on Gigsalad, where she booked me:

Huge Party Hit

Emily was so much fun! She was great with our guests & even the children. Everyone enjoyed their pictures. She was timely, professional & a pleasure to have!! Thank you so much for coming!!

Thank YOU for having me (and for the great photos!)! On the way home, I was treated to a beautiful pink and orange-tinged sunset!

Sweltering (but swell!) company picnic caricatures!

 Heat and humidity with late-afternoon thunderstorms...that's July in Pennsylvania...

But we were safe under the most substantial pavilion in this community park for a company picnic.

 There was a stage at one end, which I shared with the photo booth and the face painters (who were kind enough to lend me a paper towel to mop myself off)

I'm glistening! And you'll see that my sitters were too!

These last two ladies only took their hair down while I drew them! ;-)

Thanks for having me! And yay for indoor REFRIGERATION which I am sure everyone enjoyed after this event!

Gala fundraiser Caricatures!

This is the second time I have been invited to draw guests at this fabulous fundraiser:

Kennedy's Cause. (The first time was prior to the pandemic.) 

They like themed events--this one was called Shining through the Decades---so the guests were wearing all sorts of different outfits. I was in the 1920's room, which was perfect because the building itself was built in 1925! And I own the perfect HAT!

(here's a link to my Reel on IG)

Here are some of my sitters:

Here's their reaction on my Insta!

Thanks again for having me, Kennedy and family!

Backyard grad party caricatures!

Heat and humidity DO NOT DETER me from drawing caricatures!

Congrats to this recent graduate! 

Her friends and family were eager to sit for me! Here are a few:

(Here's their reaction Reel on IG...)

And finally, the new graduate and her BF got one. 

Congrats and thanks for having me, Chy!

Chy's mom had this to say afterwards:

You were a hit, everyone wanted you longer. We definitely know how to reach you for next time. Love the pics and saw your reels. I’m following you on Instagram now. 

90th Birthday Party Caricatures for a beloved gentleman

 I have not experienced many 90th birthday events at all, so this party was a stand-out! 

The wife was my client, and had seen me at a holiday event I did last year. She was also a stand-out, in that she preferred to do my entire booking process the old-school way...by phone and snail-mail. (Which brought back memories of the way I ran things when I first started my caricature career...no email, online contracts, GPS, etc.) 

A very fun early evening was had by all! Thanks for including my caricatures!
