WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY & PORTRAIT SESSIONS

"The first time I met Emily was at the Earth Day event hosted by the Texas State Fair park grounds. I had such a great time taking goofy pictures that we tried one of her mini shoots this year. The price was great and we had a blast taking pictures with her! They all came out wonderfully and we can’t wait to book with her again. What we really enjoyed was how comfortable she made us feel during the photos. We were laughing and having a good time. She was great to suggest poses as well. 

Thank you for the great photos, laughs, and great time!" - Leia

"What a fun/awesome mini photo shoot we had this past weekend! Thank you Emily and her partner Krystal for making us feel comfortable and getting great photos of us with our little one. I’m in love with all of them. Emily suggested poses and got some great candid shots as well. Can’t wait to use Happy Photo again and see Indie,  (VW Bus.)"

-Alicia M.

"Emily is insanely talented. She photographed my daughter and husband before he deployed to Afghanistan and captured the most precious and priceless moments for our family. Not many photographers could handle a grump 7-month-old that is already annoyed by her multiple outfit changes, but Emily kept the vibe rolling and we captured true treasures. Her natural skill for discerning the best lighting, positioning and location is truly remarkable. Hire her! You will not regret it!"

Our Road Map

Hi I’m Emily & here’s the story of Happy Photo!

April of 2017 I stumbled across a VW bus at a local event and caught the bus bug. It wasn’t even a month later when I came across this 1978 VW Vanagon on Craigslist. It was in rough shape and had “bus cancer” (what our body shop called rust.) But it was still running, so I bought it on the spot. It took about a month to finally decide on a paint color then sent it to the shop!

Picking up the bus from the body shop was one of the happiest days of my life. The bodywork expense was WAY more than I had expected & panic happened when I realized they didn’t take credit cards.. so I quickly made a few sacrifices.. selling almost all of my clothes, old instruments, I even popped into a pawn shop and sold one of my cameras trying to scrape enough money up to cover the extra thousand I hadn’t prepared for.. but luckily I DID it! 

As cheesy as it sounds, I cried when I pulled up and finally saw the bus completed. I had been working and saving for so long I never thought I'd just drop it all for a 78' VW bus.

& to most people, this is just a bus- but to me, this was all of my work over the past years. Scrimping and saving, overnight shifts at Whataburger, my old 9 to 5 assistant position and all the holidays I had to work at a hotel. It was all of the hours spent editing wedding photos, all of the times I said no to going out to eat, or no to the cute pair of shoes, like this bus embodied everything I’d ever done and it was perfect. + I'm so HAPPY  I get to share it with this business.
