Thing 1 & Thing 2

I had the pleasure of working with Carolina & Jerry at the beginning of July, for their maternity photo session.  They are having TWIN BOYS.  Oh Boy, I say;)

I am always so HAPPY when my maternity clients choose a natural outdoor setting - - and I love the beach as it truly does represent summer.  I was even more excited when they showed up and were game for anything!  We hit it off from the start and they are just the cutest soon-to-be-parents!  Here are some sneak peak pictures that I promised to post for Carolina.  I can't post all of them as I have included the names of the boys in a lot of the pictures and have been sworn to secrecy.  But, once Carolina and Jerry see the additional photos, I am sure they will love them!  I have also included a little video too;)

A FEW PREVIEW PHOTOS

The Art of Non-Conformity

I picked up a few self help books.  Partially because I am feeling discouraged at not getting enough business generated from photography.  It probably lays in the reasoning of me trying to train a new person at my full time job and also trying to get my Real Estate career going.  All in all, I read some great stuff at the book store!  

This one book that I picked up was called "The Art of Non-Conformity."  Actually perfect for me; I kind of feel like Chris Guillebeai wrote this book for me.    Just the sub-title itself "Set your own rules; live the life you want," was perfect!  How many times have all of us set our life to what we think people expect from us?  How many times have we said in want to "Change the world" and don't?

Personally, my own main fear is that people won't like me or pick me as their photographer.  I have talked about this before and tried to write it out on coming to terms with that feeling, just goes along with all jobs.  

In the book it says how to "Smash down the wall," the "unconventional way."  That alone was a moving chapter to read.  My plan is to smash down my fear (wall) get out there and just shoot!

Get back to what I want to do!  Fun outdoors and landscape shots, nature all kinds and fun family and maternity sessions.  I am going to rock it, you just wait and see!

I know a lot of people think I am a secretive person, but if anyone took the time to read my blog, they'd know I'm actually an open book and just wanna make people happy!  See their smile when I give them a piece of photography that they love!  I look forward to hearing from you on how you are going to smash down your wall and make your life a happy life that you want to live!

Until later,

Erin

T is for Thornton

I was so happy to be given the opportunity to be chosen as the photographer for this family.  They had not had family pictures taken in 'forever,' which is what I was told.  I was honoured!  They told me to do whatever I wanted and I thought that was awesome!  They live on a dead end road surrounded by a farm, so you know me, let's go for a hike!  The pictures that I was able to capture in the field were amazing; perfect fall colours.  The rain even held off and for a brief moment out on that field, the sun came out!  It was meant to be:)  Even their dog Sophie was having a ball out in the field of tall grass.

The Thornton's consist of two kids and a young adult.  The three of them were amazing at how fast they were able to shine through the camera lense.  At first you could tell they really weren't sure about me, but I think I turned them over to my 'photographers' side by the end of the two hours.  Devin, is the young adult in the family, whom might I add, should be a freakin model.  She's gorgeous.  I was so happy when they suggested to take a few head shots of her.  See for yourself!  Don't worry boys, she's already spoken for.

Thank you again Thorntons.  You made my job well worth it!

The Potts Family Fall Session

This past month I got to meet a wonderful family. We all hit it off, right from the beginning! I felt like I had known them for a long time! The Mom & Dad (Linda & Mike) and their two boys; whom might I add are awesome preteens boys and very well-mannered! The girls are going to love them when they get older; definitely will be heart breakers, in fact I am sure the phones have already started to go off with text messages (back in my day it was pagers, lol).

 They were all great to work with. I got there early in the morning, what seemed like the crack of dawn for some (sorry Mike; he had a wonderful poker game the night before;) but they were all ready to go and truly up for anything. I had fun finding out that they 'might' have a beaver in their back woods and that they just love their little white ball of fluff (the dog). We did laugh a lot; and I am sure Mike did not think that was going to happen at 8am, but he threw a couple of laughs out too. 

 I enjoyed incorporating a ladder that Linda has had in her family since forever and found out that the green patio chairs in the backyard might have been there for a little longer then what they had thought;) 

 All in all, the rain held off and we had a ball! Thank you so much to the Potts Family. I really enjoyed getting to know each one of you. 

 Here are some pictures that I thought should be posted, since the family was beyond adorable and full of entertainment. I just love all the black and whites of the family and how they turned out.

Thanks Potts Family, for choosing Corcoran Phototgraphy.
