Last weekend I got to do the first session of many to come of baby Jared's first year. It was such a great day - this little man is so precious, I couldn't get enough of him! I was so impressed that at only two weeks old, this little guy was wide awake for almost the entire shoot - and in a great mood! Here are my favorite shots from the day!<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp1-4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp1-4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp2-6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp2-6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp3-5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp3-5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-12846618273104361262010-08-01T13:29:00.000-07:002010-08-01T13:35:49.560-07:00To Race the Sun - Nashville Family PhotographyI had a session with an adorable young family a couple weeks ago and due to a couple reschedules and snags along the way we ended up with less than an hour of good light to shoot mom, dad, and two kiddos. As it turns out...the last hour of light is always the best and we got some amazing shots of this sweet little family! Again guys, sorry the edit took a bit longer than necessary - I'm truly caught up now! Can't wait to meet the newest addition and get him in front of my camera as well! Here are my favorites from my shoot with the Crowe Family!<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp2-5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp2-5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp3-4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp3-4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp1-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp1-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_5566.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_5566.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-39551584376631618502010-07-27T19:08:00.000-07:002010-07-27T19:25:44.050-07:00Come on Baby!So I'm nearly caught up from not having a computer to edit on for over a MONTH! Apologies again to this super sweet family for taking so long on this edit - Hopefully I'll just have one more "I'm sorry it took so long" blog post before they are back to normal and my workload has evened out! We had a super successful day of shooting, even though sweet - camera-happy Dillen was not feeling up to par. I loved doing this shoot with Melissa - she is just glowing and overflowing with excitement for her soon-to-be-here little man! I can't wait to meet him guys, enjoy my favorites!!<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp1-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp1-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp2-4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp2-4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-79372838581598806352010-07-15T21:20:00.000-07:002010-07-15T21:31:41.977-07:00Rosie Cheeks and Chunky Feet: Nashville, TN Children's Portrait PhotographerMeet Macey - Super sweet, super happy, super bubbly little girl with a huge personality! She was such a trooper - we tried to start this day off with pictures in the park. It was the perfect early morning shoot - it wasn't too hot, it was overcast, and baby-girl was in a great mood. About the time we pull in to start shooting, the sky opens up and drops about a million gallons of water on the very park that we were ready to make portrait history in...oh well. Time to improvise! It was a long day for this little one and after waiting out the rain - three changes of clothes - and a chaotic (middle of the road) shoot with constant running back and forth in between cars --- we all thought that the desirable park shots were just not going to happen. But Macey got a second wind thanks to some festive pinwheels and balloons and we ended up with a super successful shooting day (even if it was a little long) and Macey hung in there right to the end! Here are my favorites!<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=signed1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/signed1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=signed.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/signed.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp2-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp2-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Julybaby.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Julybaby.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp3-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp3-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-26199624195661805952010-07-07T21:30:00.001-07:002010-07-07T21:46:09.520-07:00Erica and Drupal - Nashville, TN Wedding PhotographerFirst off I want to say thank you to Erica and Dru for bearing with me over the last few weeks - you see I had a major computer meltdown and the going was very slow in the beginning...I finally got my new computer up and running last weekend and I was able to fly through the last handful of shots from their wedding. Well guys I am finally done and I am so proud of these images, and I had an absolute blast at your wedding! I am so lucky to have been able to share that day with the two of you and your wonderful sweet families! Now for what you've been waiting for...my favorites - and your disc will be in the mail tomorrow!! :D <br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp2-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp2-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp3-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp3-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_2206.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_2206.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp4-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp4-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp6.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_2260.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_2260.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-64976852197325364502010-06-12T21:02:00.000-07:002010-06-12T21:30:39.478-07:00Love is Hot! - Nashville, TN Engagement PhotographyI mean for real! Not only is this couple super hot for each other - but this day was scorching! I think it was somewhere around a thousand degrees outside and we spent oh so many hours in the sun. BUT - the result was amazing! Love these two, they are both quickly becoming two of my favorite people on the planet and I am so so glad that they have asked me to come to Destin with them in October to photograph their beach wedding! If these yummy pictures are any indication - it's going to be amazing! These are my favorites...within reason - I saved a few surprises for them on their disc. :) Enjoy!<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_8933sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8933sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9055sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9055sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp2-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp2-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9118sign-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9118sign-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9416sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9416sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp3-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp3-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-16117670829179967282010-05-09T06:49:00.000-07:002010-05-09T07:04:24.148-07:00Dillen: Smyrna, TN Children's PhotographerMeet Dillen, cute, full of energy, and super smart! I had the best time with this sweet family while taking pictures of their adorable two year old little girl! I love working with kids; it's very different than working with adults when it comes to portraits. I have a heavy preference for natural images, if you've worked with me - you know there is very little 'sit still and...smile.' Grown ups take some work before they loosen up in front of a camera. For me, it's almost easier with kiddos - everything you capture is natural, in the moment, honest expressions - because that's all they have. They don't know or care how they are 'supposed' to act in front of a camera...they just want to play. So I say to parents with young children, if you hire me to photograph them - don't worry if they are not looking at the camera, don't worry if they are playing in the dirt, if it makes them happy - let them do it. (This is by no means meant to apply to raising children...just photographing them) Because happy kids are the easiest ones to work with and they make the best pictures. As you can see below, Dillen played - she had fun the whole time and was so taken with an abandoned road and a puddle at the end that she didn't want to leave!<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=DillenComp.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/DillenComp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-85657263565976477972010-05-06T18:47:00.000-07:002010-05-06T19:01:28.077-07:00Brooke and Joe: Nashville, TN Engagement PhotographyBrooke and I went to high school together but of course lost touch like everyone from high school does until facebook reunited us all in recent years. Of course I was thrilled when she contacted me interested in wedding photography. We got together two weeks ago to shoot their engagement pictures. We had a long but super fun day exploring the city and finding little nooks to snap some pictures in. Brooke hasn't changed since high school...I don't know how THAT'S fair! And Joe was so fun, and he LOVED to make her laugh. If you look closely Brooke is nearly on the verge of hysteria in almost every image. You'll notice our session was set in beautiful downtown Nashville. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp2s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp2s.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp1s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp1s.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp4s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp4s.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=Comp3s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/Comp3s.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I have to admit looking at these now tugs at my heart a bit...not only because the couple is adorable and so clearly crazy about each other but because many of the places in these photos are now underwater. The floods that devastated middle Tennessee last weekend has left our city in shambles, of course we'll recover, but it will take time and hard work to get our city back to the way it was. It's so odd to look at these pictures and think that we were just walking there, laughing, talking, snapping pictures...and now it's just a muddy submerged mess. I can only imagine what those who lost everything are going through - no. No actually, I can't imagine it. My heart goes out to them, my prayers, my thoughts - everything.Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-22010419117171116382010-05-01T22:51:00.000-07:002010-05-01T23:09:00.048-07:00Heather and George: Nashville, TN Wedding PhotographerSo, I finally did it. My first wedding as a professional photographer! Not an assistant, not a second shooter, not a 'friend' that takes good pictures...THE actual WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. If you know me or have been following my work you know that this is not something I take lightly. Since I started this little endeavor I have always had aspirations of moving into wedding photography. Surprisingly this did not appear to be a difficult task...at first. I say this because almost as soon as I invested in photoshop and started booking portrait sessions, people started coming out of the woodwork asking if I could photograph their wedding. I was most certainly NOT ready and the thought of being responsible for capturing a couple's special day literally terrified me. So, politely - I declined several inquiries and continued working solely on improving my skills in both capturing and editing. After lots of work, several shadow and assist experiences, I made the decision that in 2010 - if anyone were to ask, I would say yes.<br /><br />I cannot begin to explain how thrilled I was when Heather contacted me on facebook. She is the cousin of one of my closest friends and in getting to know her over the last two years; I count her as a friend as well. After several disclaimers - "Heather, you know I have never done a wedding before, are you sure you want me to do this???" She was on a budget and my lack of experience provided a cheap solution - and after some encouragement from her and some other family and friends. I agreed. Heather and George were married at the Carriage Lane Inn in downtown Murfreesboro. The ceremony was so touching and it went off without a hitch. I just can't get enough of these two...really. I just love them both to death and I am so thankful and thrilled that they allowed me to be part of their beautiful day! This was my first but definitely won't be my last. I already have 4 more booked for the year and am excited about this new road! Thanks again Heather and George, I hope you love them!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=001.jpg" target="_blank"><img

and Bunnies and Plastic Pink EggsI had the opportunity to photograph two precious little girls last week in their ADORABLE Easter dresses. I have known this family for several years but it had been much too long since I'd gotten to spend any time with these cuties. It had been storming like crazy that morning leaving overcast skies and windblown flower petals scattered all over the ground. Perfect picture weather! :D I have lots of favorites so I hope you enjoy looking through them as much as I enjoyed taking them! Meet Emmi and Lily.<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_1289sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_1289sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_1425sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_1425sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_1506sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_1506sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_1616sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_1616sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_1697sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_1697sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_1856sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_1856sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=19sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/19sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=15sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/15sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=14sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/14sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=05sign-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/05sign-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=12sign-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/12sign-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=03sign-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/03sign-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=10sign-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/10sign-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=09sign-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/09sign-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=01sign-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/01sign-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=06sign-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/06sign-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=02sign-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/02sign-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-32810123835409931402010-01-31T15:59:00.001-08:002010-01-31T16:10:42.344-08:00Love is in the air.So this year for Valentine's day I decided to create some custom v-day cards for the little man. Now I realize that my 5yr old BOY probably has no interest in handing out adorable custom valentines to his 28 classmates. And I have every intention of allowing him to pick out the heinous foil star wars valentines that he is sure to choose in the valentine aisle at Target. BUT, he will also hand out mommy's valentines. :) I had several reasons for embarking on this little endeavor. Number one: I had a press (non-photo ie. business cards/greeting cards) credit from my lab that I had to use by the end of January. Number two: I have been working lately on some graphic design in photoshop, creating custom collages and greeting cards etc. and wanted the practice. And Number three: I want BUSINESS. :) I figure with 47 v-day cards going out that's at least 47 sets of parents who may like what they see on the cards. Once that initial contact is accomplished, maybe half of them will actually visit my website and like what they see there even further, and then maybe...just maybe at least one of them will want to book a session. Anyway. All that just to share these few shots. Here are my favorites from the shoot and at the bottom, the actual CARD! :D<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9778size.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9778size.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9768signsize.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9768signsize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9844signsize.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9844signsize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9965signresize.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9965signresize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9897signresize.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9897signresize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9793signsize.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9793signsize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=V-dayCardsized.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/V-dayCardsized.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-90995617512450580342010-01-26T19:06:00.001-08:002010-01-26T19:08:07.574-08:00Sweet MaceyAnother precious baby!

Really, a lot! I got a call last weekend asking me if I'd be willing to come out last minute and do a family shoot. Of course! Little did I know that this was to be one of the coolest families and one of the most fun shoots I've ever done! Brittany and Steve have two adorable boys and two precious floppy bulldogs and they provided me with some amazing images! I hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed taking these shots. And did I mention that this family was extremely cool. See for yourself.<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=a.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/a.jpg"

These boys are the spitting image of each other, just several years apart. Their personalities could not be more different though, Jake is quiet and reserved while Josh is super active and rambunctious. I met these kids several years ago after I began working at <a href="http://www.lancasterchristianacademy.com/">Lancaster</a> where their mom Kim is the director of the <a href="http://ourelc.com/">Early Learning Center</a>. Since that time, this family has blessed my life in so many ways. It is only thanks to Kim, her unending praise and promotion that I have been able to get on my feet as a professional photographer. She and her family are some of the most gracious faithful people I have ever met and I truly hope that she knows how deeply she touches people just by being in their lives. Thanks Kim, for giving me the opportunity to step into your life and capture the love, laughter, and fun that embodies your children. <br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=12sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/12sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=09sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/09sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9067sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9067sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=08sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/08sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=01sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/01sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=07sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/07sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9021sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9021sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=04sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/04sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=02sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/02sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=06sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/06sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=11sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/11sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=10sign-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/10sign-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_9157sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_9157sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=13sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/13sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-10629351685967019272009-11-23T19:36:00.000-08:002009-11-23T20:11:37.948-08:00Babies BranyanLast week I gave a little sneak peek of this shoot.

Back when fall began I was sure that all the world's water had condensed above Middle Tennessee and was destined to pour on us until we needed boats rather than cars to get around. However, it seems that in my haste to stay busy with my little photography business as well as immerse myself in student teaching I have forgotten to enjoy the weather! I love fall, typically this is my FAVORITE time of year. Specifically because the mosquitoes are dead but I can't yet see my breath, also - I can stand to be outside without being in either my underwear or my north face coat. So I'm vowing now to enjoy what's left of fall. If you need me, I'll be outside. Thank you very much.<br /><br /><br /><br />Oh, and some of my favorite from several recent shoots that give me that little fuzzy feeling, hope they do the same for you.<br /><br />FIRST OFF - MaKhalia and Brandon. Two adorable siblings, Brandon is five and all boy - he and Gunnar play football together. MaKhalia is a gorgeous well mannered young woman, I was so impressed with her! This is the sweetest family, more to come of them soon!<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_6913sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_6913sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_6794sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_6794sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_6995sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_6995sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />SWEET BOYS - These next images are from a shoot I did with good friend of mine and her family.

And what's even better is I have a family shoot with them coming up in another two weeks.<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_8365sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8365sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=hsign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/hsign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=IMG_8352sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8352sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view¤t=asign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/asign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I promise I will do better with keeping this thing up to date...I need a secretary!Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-21178838672024266122009-09-11T21:06:00.000-07:002009-09-11T21:12:26.375-07:00Puppy SistersSo....I just had to share a few of my precious puppies that I snapped in the backyard.

One of my many duties in regards to this are of course capturing images of our students, teachers, and all round precious moments that occur throughout a normal day. Since I don't want to spoil anything for LCA parents who might check up on this blog I am not going to post anything I have chosen to use on the 'work'blog. So here are two "out-takes". :) Enjoy.<br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view&current=IMG_8670sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8670sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view&current=IMG_8629sign.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8629sign.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Gotta love those babies!!Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-81247725216379356262009-07-01T21:51:00.000-07:002009-07-01T21:53:31.310-07:00Summertime!Hey folks, today I took my little man to a friend's apartment for a swim.

We had an absolutely fabulous time, and the best part was getting to see some of our family that we RARELY ever get to see. It was so wonderful! Andrea of course had hired some professional wedding photogs for her beautiful event but I whipped out my camera a few times to capture what I could..in between 'the cupid shuffle' and 'stayin alive' naturally. I took tons but here are some of my favorites from the night. <br /><br />Due to my Praxis exam Saturday morning we unfortunately did not make it to the ceremony so all my pics are from the fabulous reception! Enjoy!<br /><br />The first dance<br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view&current=IMG_8067.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8067.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view&current=IMG_8076.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8076.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view&current=IMG_8053.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8053.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Clint and Aunt Paula :)<br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view&current=IMG_8088.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8088.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Flower Toss<br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view&current=IMG_8038.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8038.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Mom and Guns having a dance<br /><a href="http://s723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/?action=view&current=IMG_8119.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww237/elmatthews/IMG_8119.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16273728826783506105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690900841823923649.post-56877129368987460552009-06-10T18:45:00.000-07:002009-06-10T19:00:56.952-07:00Excessive Absence....To those that have been asking if I'm still updating my blog....Sorry!
