Tea Party Caricatures!

 I love tea, so doing this elegant tea party, given by an aunt for her niece, was right up my alley! And almost everyone sported a fascinator or a hat! I was in heaven!

It was a small group, so I was able to do everyone full-body, full color! I don't get to do that very much anymore. 

Thank you for having me!

Silhouettes at silhouette-enthusiast daughter's birthday party

This party was thrown for a daughter who treasured her long-ago family silhouettes she got as a child at Disney World, shown here:

So her parents thought having me cut silhouettes at her party would be fun! And it was!!

I was situated in the family room, with a perfect place to display the finished silhouettes!

 I did several dozen during the course of the party. The thoughtful hostess even provided frames for them! Here are a few more photos: (first is the birthday girl with her wineglass!) 

Thank you for having me!

Update: My client (mom of BD girl) left me some lovely words for a review on The Bash:

 Emily was simply wonderful. All guests raved about their silhouettes. Very professional, personable, I highly recommend her services!
Thank you for making this party extra special for everyone!

Wedding caricatures in a secret walled garden...

 On Friday night, in a venerable but vibrant old section of Philadelphia, I found myself in a venue that the outside showed no inkling of the beauty within...a beautiful garden of greenery in a courtyard...

My location was just inside the building on the right side of the photo...(you can see more in my IG post.)

The beautiful bride (loved her dress!) had asked me to do "mini" caricatures for the guests, 5" x 5" and I enjoyed the challenge! Of course, the bride and groom got a large color caricature.

Hmmmmm. I'll make those guest caricatures show up a little bigger...

And here's one of the flower girl,  but she escaped before I got a photo of her...

A nice thing about this smaller size was easier transport for the guests while at the reception, and they can be easily framed in a 5 x 7 frame.  AND I can put them in translucent cellophane envelopes instead of plastic bags!

I have to add that the venue, Sculpture Courtyard, and the wedding coordinator, PhillyDIYweddings were both FABULOUS and made my job even easier. 

Finally, thanks to the bride and groom, who left this lovely feedback on my The Bash profile:

We hired Emily to draw caricatures for our wedding reception and she was AMAZING! We wanted to do something a little different from the usual photo booth and our guests LOVED it! Emily is super talented and went above and beyond to do smaller format caricatures for our guests to easily take home and even threw in one of our two kitties! Look no further for your caricature artist needs!

Summer silhouette wedding at gorgeous estate's arboretum

 

  It was a perfect summer evening for a wedding in Pennsylvania, and for a silhouette artist to do her thing! My client, the bride, is a historian, and she provided a sign explaining the history of silhouettes, that was so sweet!

Cocktail hour was on the terrace, so I was set up long beforehand, and ready to go, with plenty of time to listen to the harpist and cellist, and see the ceremony from afar:

When the ceremony was over, the guests meandered over--I was busy immediately....so, only took a photo of the first silhouette of the evening...the officiant!

Once cocktail hour ended, we all headed into the elegantly appointed tent and I continued at a quick pace.

 The duplicate silhouettes went into the guest book, and the guests' hands as wedding favors!

The bride provided her own guest book, it was lovely!

But I filled it with these:

Thank you for having me at your lovely wedding!
