Charlotte Family Photographer: 2016 in one post!

March 20, 2017 By ericka Leave a Comment

2016 was a blur….but a BLESSED BLUR for sure.

This is the first year that I didn’t beat myself up over my lack of blogging…or feel guilty that I wasn’t posting sneak peeks on social media like other photographers…those things didn’t even hold a spot on my never-ending “to-do list” in 2016 lol…..

Instead, I just enjoyed this job that I get to do….enjoyed seeing the families that I get to see each year…snuggling babies…loved doing the shoots that I could and smiling over the pictures as I always do (sometimes tearing up:)) when I’m editing them….enjoyed sharing the pictures with the parents and hearing how tickled they were…and at the same time, enjoyed this season of my own life…one that is full of laughter and laundry…cooking and crying….homeschooling, yes….lots of mission trips to Guatemala…no, not a whole lot of sleep lol…..

I’ve realized how fast my own little ones are growing….and that I can’t get that time back….

I’ve realized that I just CAN’T do everything that I’d like to do…and be the wife and mom that I know I’m called to be…

Boy am I blessed with clients who get that…clients who just want me to capture this season of life for them with pictures…clients that are ok that I don’t have fancy words and blog posts ….clients who email me sometimes and say “I don’t know if you’re still shooting…I know you’re really busy…but I’d love to have pictures if you’re still available….”

I giggle…and don’t feel guilty anymore…I’m happy I get the chance to make a few kids laugh at my corny jokes and sock monkey…or chase them around my red chippy truck…or talk to them about my pet Texas Longhorns…then make their parents laugh and cry with what we captured….it’s good stuff.

2016 hit my sweet spot…thank you to all of my lovely families!

Here’s a little review of 2016…now that we are almost 3 months into 2017 🙂

BTW, if you’d like pictures this year, let me know now as my calendar is filling and a little more limited…because time is just limited and precious these days!

<3

Charlotte NC Family Photographer: The Kennon Family

October 15, 2015 By ericka 1 Comment

Meet adorable Ryane! Who – yes – I photographed LAST FALL 🙂 – but who’s keeping track? THIS is what a shoot looks like when a family meets up and just has fun….relaxes, plays, laughs…I just love it! My best advice to my clients – who want so badly to have great NATURAL photos that really capture the essence of who they are is to RELAX – be themselves – not worry about clothing, the setting, how perfect your hair is (or isn’t) – and just enjoy the time together – and let me shot and play along! Nicole I’m so so sorry it’s taken me a year to finally post these!

Ok I just calculated, if I could blog two shoots a day, I’ll be caught up on blogging in 3 weeks….being realistic, maybe I can get caught up over the next month:)….here comes number two for the day! 🙂

Meet the adorable Koehler boys! We had fun running around in the fall cornfield!

Charlotte NC Newborn Photographer: Finn

May 22, 2014 By ericka Leave a Comment

A few months ago this mama contacted me about pictures of her lil peanut…and when I heard what her profession was, I immediately had a vision:). You see sweet little Finn’s mama owns a business called Heirloom that rents vintage china…..so boy or not, this baby was going to snuggle up with some china! What do you think? Pretty cute huh?

 

 

Then of course we had to give Finn’s daddy his own shot……pretty sweet too!

 

 

And then there is THE NURSERY…..which I think should be blogged on one of those fancy decorating sites….because boy is it every amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what’s a newborn shoot for a boy named Finn without a shark outfit? 🙂

 

 

And thanks to my fabulous friend Nan over at Morning Glory Farm for letting us shoot on her beautiful property (because the alternative on that particular day was to shoot in my field where they had just spread a little chicken manure….yeah….it’s called life as a {country} photographer 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for calling on me Caroline to photograph your sweet family!
