My dear client and friend is expecting the newest addition to their lovely family. Ivonne is going to be a big sister…and what a GREAT one she’ll be! It was a very windy afternoon, but true to form, we made it work. That’s always been my philosophy. Rain, snow, wind, no light? We will MAKE…

Last year I decided to begin looking for a space in which I can work, meet with clients, package prints, and showcase my work. I didn’t want a full studio for 2 big reasons: 1. I don’t do studio work. I prefer outdoor scenery and lifestyle photography. 2. I didn’t want to pass the added…

seriously erica, i am so totally envious of your lovely little space. it represents your brand so well.
Thank you so much, Heather! I worked really hard to do just that so it means a lot that you noticed. <3
You may be envious of my space, but I envy your ability. XOXO
Erica, your shop is absolutely adorable, so much that it hurts. I go to the square a lot on my bike since I can’t drive yet, and every time I go past your space I peek in and draw inspiration. It’s just so cute. I’m crossing my fingers now that next time I’m out there you’re there.
Hopefully see you soon!
Oh, by the way, I got my hair cut very very short so you may have trouble recognizing me.
I will definitely be up there more when school starts. If you see me in there, stop in! <3
This is amazing. I love how you decorated it.
Thanks, Tonya. :)
The weather is getting warmer and my schedule is filling up! On the blog this evening are the adorable kids of 2 of my lovely clients; Erica and Lacie. Love those girls! I showed up and they were so prepared! Everything you see (all of the props and clothes) were theirs and laid out, ready…

Such a great session! The last 3 images are especially adorable!
WOW! Thank you SOOO much, Jessica. I’m grateful and thankful you stopped by my ‘little ol’ blog’.
Goodness gracious. These are so precious, Erica! Every photo of yours I see I’m just stunned by your use of lighting. Your images all look so soft and sweet. I love the one with the moustaches. 
Thank you SO much, Marizona. I’m glad you liked this set. <3
Rather than do an entire post on pricing in the macro sense, let’s look specifically at the cost of one single 4×6. So why does a 4×6 cost “X”? Great question! One that certainly deserves an answer. Here’s why: – If someone orders one 4×6 from me and I don’t charge enough to make a…

Cute packaging! Think the article is well written. Think it should also be noted without profit we cant build and be better and your $8.50 won’t cover insurance and fees and stuff we have to pay as photographers or any business craft or any run out of your home.
Man did we have fun tonight. We laughed, we commiserated, and we laughed some more. Tonight at the photography meet up, we had so much fun. At least I like to think we did. Honestly, the time flew by. Sometimes when you’re feeling down about no matter what, all it takes to bring a smile…

Had a wonderful time tonight!
So did I, Wendi. Thank you so much for being there and inviting such lovely people.
“hello i was looking through some of your photography, and im amazed at how clear your pictures are. i love your work, and i was wondering if you could give me some tips? thank you! ” I get asked this question frequently and decided to just respond via blog post in order to share the…

Great job!… for just a girl with a camera trying her best
Love how you made the point about piknik and picasa without being rude or arrogant as I have read others!! Thought it was great how you offered info about the trial download of LR, very thoughtful and caring! I <3 LR. Very well written, not arrogant or boss…but friendly and informative!
Great post! Thank you for sharing. It’s good to hear that someone who I think is amazing is still practicing. It gives me hope!
Thank you so much for commenting Erin. I think it’s important to remember, we are ALL still learning. No one is exempt from that rule. <3
Heather, I’m so grateful you took the time to comment. Seriously. I honestly believe that we are all just trying to do the best we can with what we have and if what we have can offer some insight, we should share. That’s all I’m trying to do. Maybe some people are on a different path and my help doesn’t mean much, but I firmly believe that there’s someone out there that might be on the same path as me. So I hope that the info I share, can help them. <3
Dear Clients, This illustration is for you. A helpful guide to show the difference between “wall art” and a “gift print”. Gift prints are meant for gift giving, for desks, or for wall groupings. Look how the 8×10 is not only dwarfed by the wall art, but by the room itself! That 8×10 belongs on…

Erica I love it. Go big or go home! ?
Precisely, Heather.
So what exactly is a “gift print” and how is it different from “wall art”. Gift prints are sizes that you would normally give for a gift, 8×10 and smaller. In general, gift prints are considered too small for wall art. Wall art sizes typically begin at 16×20. Illustrated here are examples of a variety…

I love this idea! Can I ask how you created this image? I would love to have/make something like this to show my clients.
Hi Holli. I used the templates found here: https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=124955&c=ib&aff=209420
I hope this helps. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
Recently I had the pleasure of hearing my favorite wedding photographer, Jasmine Star, speak in Chicago. It all seem to happen in slow motion, but in retrospect, it seems like it went by so fast that it’s all a blur. I really was star struck. Okay, to clarify, Jasmine Star was on a tour called…

“So, for me, walking away from the Fix knowing I was making the right decisions, was just one of many ways I gained confidence, and that my friends…is PRICELESS.”
Sooooooo AWESOME!!!
What an experience
Wonderful photos Erica!
Love her smile!
Oh Heather, thank you so much for stopping by. Your support means so much.
I truly did learn a lot at the Fix, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t feel good just nodding my head to so many things she said. There’s value in confirmation. I believe that. <3
OMG!!! So amazing. I LOVE her and hope to meet her one day. LUCKY DUCK.
Thank you so much, Christine. It was so much fun.
