The first week of August is celebrated by mothers, health care officials, and breastfeeding proponents all over the world as World Breastfeeding Week. La Lech League International is an international organization created by 7 women in 1958 in order to provide information and support to breastfeeding mothers. “Our Mission is to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed…

I have TONS to edit (still haven’t found the perfect company to outsource my editing yet) so I’ll make this brief. As much as my regular clients rock (and they DO!), I want to say how much I enjoy working with and for other photographers. They are always so understanding, they know how to make…

Now that my daughter is almost 14 (good lord, where has the time gone?), I often find myself struggling to remember what kids do at certain ages. If I’m preparing for a session with a 3 month old, I ask myself, “What did Sidney do when she was 3 months old? Was she sitting up,…

and what a wonderful painter she is! great images Erica, love the first 2
Well thank you very much, Lauren. 
:)
What a doll!! Wonderful photos!!! What a great memory for her too!!
Thank you, Betsy. It’s so much easier to photograph kids in their natural element.
I thought it might be fun to give potential clients a little outline of what a session with me is like. I also thought that there might other photographers who might like to read this to compare and contrast what I do, with what a session with them is like. By all means, if you…

The kids….on the bed…equals PERFECTION! Of course we won’t have any of those, but I am so excited for our session in October!!!!
Great job! I really like your outline (especially the comment about the “proverbial 8×10″ – I’m sure it will help your clients know what to expect
Thanks for the article! That’s a great way to organize your session. Many times I do the creative shots first, but I like your suggestion to do the (less exciting) group/individual shots first. You are right…Those are the ones that clients end up ordering for their walls and/or grandparents. If you crank those out first thing then everyone can loosen up and get a little crazy with the fun shots!
Thank you so much for stopping by, Amanda!
Thank you so much, Jessica. It’s good to be open with clients as well as hear their thoughts and ideas.
I can’t wait either, Mandy!!
It’s The Hamm Family! They are loooong time clients of mine. Like most of my clients, Kelly and Josh were ready to go upon my arrival. Equipped with outfit changes, ideas, and locations which makes the process so much easier. It was a perfect meld of client/photographer inspiration. Other than a rescheduling due to some…

It’s What to Wear time! As always, these are just a guide. Each client is unique in their own way and my clients have always been able to knock it out of the park when it comes to choosing their outfits for picture day. Every now and then, we all need a little help and…

Since I began my ‘official’ photography career, I really have had the best luck with clients. I don’t know if it’s the particular area in which I live, my personality, or the way I market to my target audience, but I seem to attract the absolute most fun, most relaxed, and happiest clients. The Formells…

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…

Love your little studio! Super cute! I can’t wait to stop in and see it!
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
I’m preggo and due in November! I plan to breast feed and would love this opportunity to win! Thanks!
Great post Erica! World breastfeeding week couldn’t have come at a better time as I get to celebrate with a baby on my boob!
I am about 18 weeks pregnant with my first and I plan on breastfeeding. Winning this would be a great opportunity for me to get to know you as a fellow photographer abd get to have my maternity shots done by you.
One of the things I am looking forward to about being a mother is bonding with my son during breastfeeding. I wish we had a LLL chapter in Quincy.
I love this! Happy World Breastfeeding Week everyone! Love the time my daughter and I get together while she’s nursing!!
