…: Audrey + Solomon…and baby surprise :… Portland OR maternity photographers

August 21, 2011 4 Comments

So where to begin with this one…

First off, a client very rarely makes me laugh out loud in an inquiry email, but the beautiful Audrey sure did.

Pregnancy is such a strange thing.  It’s really hard for a lot of women (myself very , VERY much included) to feel like themselves while simultaneously sporting a new beach ball sized appendage.  When you’re living it, those 40 weeks might as well be 400.  But then one day you wake up and your baby is no longer a baby and you can barely remember what it’s like to get up to pee 8 times in one night and waddle around in a Target with a huge pregnant belly.

It takes a lot of trust to let go and let a photographer embrace this temporary vessel that creates new life.   It is a job I don’t take lightly.

And when Audrey said “my son is really photogenic” I sez to myself “Ah, whose kids aren’t .   And then I met Solomon.  And decided that I have never met a little boy who the camera loved more.  You read that right; it’s not that he loves the camera.  He’s kinda nonchalant about the whole deal.  But my, does the camera love him.

Audrey, friends and family,  hope you enjoy and see you soon!


Maternity, Photography

The only thing better than my saying “hey, can we do some of JUST you guys?” is “hey Erin, can we have some of *just us*?”

//but have you ever seen such beauty?//

The thing about first daughters…they’re a mirror of all our own beauty and imperfection. The chance to see the ripple and change it. Even if it hurts.

Lately I’ve had a string of kiddos who just wanted to ham it up. It’s my fave.
