Beautiful Lady and her boy

This is an old friend of mine, we both worked together at a bank a long time ago. We were also pregnant with our first child at the same time. She had this handsome young man 6 weeks before I had my daughter, so I have had the opportunity of watching Mr. C grow into this young man you see here. I will say every year that goes by, he just gets more handsome. We went out for an early morning session before the craziness of Saturday baseball games. I'm glad we did! I am in love with the locations that I used today. The gorgeous fall colors, and the old Dodge truck. Amazing!

"f" family...get ready for another precious baby girl!

I was thrilled when I got the email about booking a session with this family. Another couple that I went to high school with. I am loving getting the chance to see what everyone is up to. Let me first say that this baby girl is just so adorable, I could hardly stand it. Her face was just too precious! She was such a happy baby too, and very calm. It was a very humid afternoon but that didn't stop us, we got some great shots! It was so great to catch up with you guys, and thank you again!

"w" family and sweet baby boy

Today was a beautiful day, a little windy but that's ok! I had a great time with this beautiful family and getting to know them. They have a precious one month old baby boy who pretty much slept throughout the entire session except when we took his clothes off. He pretty much decided that after that our session was over :) He was a sweet baby though and I am so glad you allowed me to capture this time in your life for you! Thank you!

funny photo friday

Well here it is....Funny Photo Friday again! Yay, I love this day because it's a fun post. Today's pictures are of my good friend from high school. They came into town the last part of summer, and of course it was so hot out but we were able to get great pictures. These two pictures immediately caught my eye when I sat down to edit their session, I loved them so much I ended up giving them to her as part of her session. I just love her face in both of these pictures. The first picture, I have to explain...she wasn't grossed by her adorable son kissing her, it was that he as giving her a huge open mouth kiss, slobber and all. The second picture I love her face because it screams "family photo session". You want your kids to be perfect for your pictures, but kids are kids and sometimes they just aren't having it. Now don't let his fit fool you, we were able to get some really great pictures of him!

Dates are filling up fast!

Just a quick note to let you know that I have very limited dates left for 2009. I am booking up so fast, it's blowing my mind! I love it though and wouldn't trade that for a second! If you are interested in booking a session, please email me at erin@splendorphotography.net or you can use the contact form on my website!

Just want to say thank you to everyone that has booked their session with me, I am truly honored! Thanks and more great pictures to come...just keep checking back! Oh and don't forget to check out Funny Photo Friday, you won't want to miss these ridiculously cute and funny photo's!

Lots of Love,
Erin

Pretty Momma to be...

This afternoon I traveled out to Weatherford...a place that I would have never thought about going, but I'm glad I did. It was a change of scenery for me, and I got take pictures of a gorgeous young woman who is expecting her first child. I love her natural beauty. Here are a few pictures from this afternoon. It was great meeting you, and I look forward to seeing that baby girl!

H Family...warning: precious baby ahead

What a sweet family! Oh and I should mention a beautiful family too! Today we went out and had a great session with the beautiful weather. I really enjoyed meeting this family, they have such a beautiful happy baby girl! She was such a doll for me. I know her mom and dad are very blessed to have her. And thanks guys for going with the flow, and being up for anything! Enjoy!

Funny Photo Friday

Where else can I display the cutest pictures of my clients? Right here! This morning I was thinking, I really should put these really cute and funny pictures on my blog. I think everyone should see them. Requirements for Funny Photo Friday:

1. Totally random, just happened to capture something really funny or unique.

2. The silliest of facial expressions.

3. A picture that just happened to sneak up on me after I have completely finished editing a session.

4. Something YOU would enjoy seeing as much as I enjoy showing it.

Ok now for the very first Funny Photo Friday, we have a 3 week old baby boy. I think his momma must have been watching Austin Powers because he was totally giving me some Dr. Evil....this is just so hilarious. Look at his sweet face, he's totally into character.

For the second Funny Photo, we have a sweet baby girl. She has the most hilarious facial expressions. During our session, I had a hard time focusing because she was so funny and so sweet. So of course this one caught my eye, after I had delivered her pictures to her parents. I had to share this one somehow:)

Enjoy and check back every Friday for more Funny Photo's from your sessions!

Problem Solved!

Thanks so much K!!!

Cute Family of 4...

I really enjoyed meeting this family! They were all so sweet, and mom and dad were up for anything! I love that! The two little ones were sweet as can be, and "little mister" as they call him was a boy on the go. He wanted to explore everything, and there was so much to check out! The sweet girl was definitely up for taking some pictures:) SO CUTE, the entire family! I really enjoyed it!




think this one is my favorite!

One of my favorite families

I can't tell you how much I love this family. I have known them since 2004, and we just clicked from the start. I wish I could show you more pictures, but it's late and I'm tired:) The mom is my best friend, and makes me laugh like no one else, besides my honey Steven! She gets me and I get her, and I'm so glad God put her in my life! So here's a little preview:)

Things are a changin' around here

Have you noticed all of my indecisive changes over the last few weeks on my blog especially, and my website? Well you probably thought I was crazy or had adult ADD, but I am a perfectionist when it comes to my work and how it is displayed. I wanted to get my website exactly the way I wanted it to be, and it finally is! YAY! and my blog is getting there!

I am starting to get really busy, and I'm loving it! I love my clients, because they bring something new and beautiful to my work. I love how unique every single person is, and I love to capture that in them. If you haven't read my "About Erin" section on my website, I talk about how I love your face. I really do! I love what your face says about you. I love that your face is exactly what God designed it to be! And it never fails, I am always able to capture that special part of you! I love what I do. It is a true passion that God has given me, and I do not take any of it for granted. To be honest, sometimes I still have to pinch myself because I think this is all a dream. But thank God it's not just a dream. It's a gift that He birthed in me a long, long time ago. Even when I didn't even realize it.

I feel so blessed and honored every time someone calls me or emails me to book a session. It confirms to me that the gift that has been given to me, is recognized. I am so thankful for that. It has definitely been a learning process over the last year. But how else do you grow in your craft? You take everything in and learn everything that you can about it. Not taking anything for granted, you store away in your heart the things you learn, and cultivate them. Before you know it, you start seeing it all come together and grow into what God has designed it to be.

So I didn't know I was going to write a thankfulness blog when I started writing this, I thought I was just going to ask you not to think I am crazy for all of my changes. BUT, I am so glad I did. I am so thankful!

Oh and Happy Fall, let's take some pictures!

Sweet Sweet Baby!

I love newborns! This baby boy was 3 weeks old and loved his mama so much already! I had the pleasure of taking his first set of pictures, and I know that his parents will love them! Not any sleeping baby pictures for this little man, he was wide awake anytime we laid him down. But that's ok because the ones that we did get are too precious! So enjoy your preview!

yawning baby :)

Sweet Baby Girl!

Is it possible for this sweet baby girl to be any cuter? Oh my, this almost 7 month old girl was such a delight and I can't say enough about how pleasant her session was. Oh and the really fun part was seeing and catching up with mom and dad, we all were in the same graduating class in high school and it has literally been 11 years since I have seen them. I am so glad I got to see you guys, and I am extremely honored that you allowed me to capture your sweet girl. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek....but I mean what's not to love about her?
