Emily Ulmer

In many ways, I see my images as a momentary impression of a point in time that we all leave behind - Emily Ulmer

I admit quite freely that I know very little about photography. However, occassionally I happen upon images like these and I am in intrigued. Los Angeles-based Emily Ulmer's children's portraits have a certain je-ne-sais-pas quoi about them, an atmosphere, a quality of light, that draw me in and make me want to find out more.

These two girls are especially captivating, don't you think?

Emily began her career by taking portraits of young people in that pivotal moment of transition from adolescence to adulthood. She has since become attracted to documenting childhood, and attempts to show the beauty of this key moment in life in its most natural state, photographing children in their own environments.

Emily is currently doing commissioned portraits as well as children's fashion stories, and can be contacted via her professional website. I hope we'll be seeing more of her work in the very near future.
