I met up with the wonderful M family on Saturday in Odessa. It was crazy hot and not only did we have to deal with bugs, we also came across a SNAKE and a dead mouse! Gross. But this family was unfazed by it all — you can tell there is so much love in this family for each other. 🙂
This time it was my turn to photograph the lovely Beira’s family. I was so excited to meet her son – I’ve seen so many pictures of those big blue eyes and gorgeous smile! The weather was perfect and we found some really neat little places to shoot in. Of course, we were only about five minutes into the session when Micah took a tumble.
But after a little cuddling from Mom (and some fruit snacks), he was good as new. Besides some images of the whole family, Beira also wanted some shots of her and Micah. These are my favorite types of shots — you can practically hear the laughter and feel the love between these two.
Erin, these are gorgeous! The last one is simply breathtaking.
These are gorgeous! I love the last one especially and how great for Beira to have some photos with her son!
BEAUTIFUL!!!! I adore that last one! Great job and beautiful family!
Erin this is exactly what I envisioned!!!! Thank you so much. I absolutely love them!
Yes, You pulled the “landscape” shot off! Awesome, thanks so much. Definitely getting a huge canvas of this. Love them all. It was a pleasure working with you.
When you’re a photographer, you may have great shots of your kids, but unfortunately, Mommy rarely is seen in front of the camera. Fortunately, I have many great photographer friends who are always willing to do a session swap. A couple weeks ago, I was the one stressing over what to dress the family in and I was so undecided that I actually bought Molly two different shirts, CJ got a new pair of shorts AND a new pair of jeans and my husband now owns three more polo shirts. But, it was all worth it in the end, because my good friend Beira captured some AWESOME images of my family.
It was actually fun being on the other side of the camera and surprisingly, I had a pretty easy time “letting go” and letting Beira tell me where to go and what to do. I did have a little tea party set-up that I wanted to do though. My husband thought I was a little crazy for a.)having CJ participate in a tea party and b.)having someone else photograph it. But I didn’t want to have to deal with keeping the kids happy AND getting everything set up and taking the pictures. It was easier to just worry about the kids and not the actual picture-taking. And CJ LOVES tea parties. Especially ones where there are plates of food. I swear, I think he had more fun than Molly. He happily shoved graham crackers in his mouth while rocking back and forth going “mmmmm . . . . . mmmmmm”
Thanks again Beira! It warms my heart to look at these. I hope I got some ones of you and your family tonight that make you just as happy. 🙂
This little beauty is the daughter of one of my 2009 couples. It was so awesome to see them as parents to such a sweet baby girl.
Hi Erin! I LOVE this newborn session. I’m just starting out and trying to find my style…I shot a 2month old a few weeks back and can’t wait for a newborn session : ) Your work is gorgeous, and these shots are precious! Take Care! Mary
Oh my! Is she adorable or what? She’s so precious and you did an amazing job with these. Congratulations to the new parents!
The newborn pics your are displaying are beautiful. They are of my cousin’s new baby girl. I just love your style. You did a wonderful job!
She is the joy of our lives…thank you for capturing her essence. The baby’s Bubbe!
She is so prescious!!!! Can’t wait to see her again. Grandpa Ron and Flora
absolutely beautiful pictures!!! you did an amazing job!
What a pleasure it was meeting the newest member of the ‘S’ Family. Little Miss Aly was the tiniest little thing – just under 6 pounds at three weeks! She came a bit early (brave Momma even drove herself to the hospital!), so she did spend some time in the NICU, but she is doing great now. 🙂
So precious and cute!
well done Erin !
These are wonderful! Congraulations.
