Beth & Todd

Monday I photographed Beth & Todd, and their two boys, Michael & James. I think it was the coldest day of the year so far and we had about 20 mile an hour winds. They were all troopers and we would all huddle inside the shelter house at the park to warm up before heading back out. The boys were alot of fun! Michael was so cooperative, and James had me laughing the whole time. He kept wanting to do silly faces for the camera. So, if he gave me good smiles, then I would take his picture being silly. That worked for him! Beth and Todd, the next time we meet for pictures, I hope it is a warm day!

New Studio Backdrop

With the weather getting colder, the opportunity for outdoor sessions is dwindling. Eras Photography is able to shoot inside your home using our studio backdrop, or using your home as the backdrop. This provides an opportunity to get studio pictures in the comfort of your home. I will still shoot in a photojournalistic style, so there will be no portrait studio, cookie cutter sessions. If you are interested in custom portraits shot in your home, please contact me!

Karen & Steve

I had the pleasure of photographing Karen & Steve, and their 4 kids today. Their daughter, Erna, just got married last Friday to Kalen, so we did a few shots of the two of them as well. They are such a fun family. The kids were so cooperative, and let their true silliness show at the end of the shoot. This family is so close and was so refreshing to see that families like theirs still exist today. Thanks Karen and Steve for sharing your wonderful family with me today!

Riley & Abbie

I had an absolute blast photographing this family. They were absolutely game for anything I wanted them to do. We had so much fun trying to capture moments between the four of them. With a little bit of bribery the kids were so cooperative, and Riley is such the little poser! I work with both Mom and Dad, and have watched their kids grow up, so I was beyond thrilled when they asked me to do their pictures. I am so happy with the photos that we took. I had such a hard time deciding which ones to post as a preview on here. Enjoy!

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep...

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is an organization that I care a great deal about. It is a network of voluntary photographers that provide bereavement photos to families that have experienced an infant death. For those of you who do not know me personally, I am also an NICU nurse. I have experienced more loss in my career than I ever care to talk about. But, the one thing I do know is that parents cherish those last moments with their infants...and every single thing you do for them, to show you care, and that you loved their baby...they carry with them forever.

I have applied to be a NILMDTS affiliated photographer...hopefully they'll accept me. I feel that I need to do this to give back, to provide a much needed service to these families. None of the photographers are paid. It is a strictly volunteer organization. Photographers provide services to families on their own time and provide photos out of their own pockets. It truly is a wonderful organization.

If you have time, please take a look at their website at www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org or click on the link on the side of my page. ***Note, if you venture in to the site, some of the pictures will make you very emotional.

I'll end my post with a quote from their site:
"Imagine a photo shoot where each moment is a last moment, where there will be no second takes, where what you're doing means everything." ~Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

I am pleased to announce that we are now offering custom story boards in 10x5 and 8x8 sizes. They are mounted for durability. Please contact me for pricing!

Emily

My second session on Friday was with a beautiful little 14 month old, named Emily. She was so funny and would run away from me when she saw the camera. Her mom did a great job getting her to interact with me. We got some great shots and had lots of fun.

Kristen & Joshua

I had such a fun time photographing these cuties! Kristen and Joshua are like family to me, so it really was awesome to get to do their portraits. Kristen was such a little trooper, while Joshua was running around. Thanks for a great day, guys!

I had the pleasure of photographing Ellia today. She has her 1st birthday coming up in the next couple of weeks. It was so much fun photographing her...she is so independent. I had a great time with Ellia and her mommy and daddy. Thanks guys, for a great day!
