A little bit about Erin
I love weddings! I love photography! I love being able to tell your story with my camera! There are very few days in our lives more important than our wedding day. But it's just the beginning of your married life together, and it's a great honor to be a part of it! Weddings never get old to me; they are timeless; a snapshot of the beginning of something wonderful; a beautful sunrise on the best possible day. It's no wonder I ended up a wedding photographer! :)
I got started with photography back in the 7th grade. My junior high school offered a photography class, and after enrolling, I was hooked. I learned photography on an old manual film camera, home-made box camera, developed my own film, and made enlargements by hand in a darkroom. I continued to study Photography in High School and into College.
I had the opportunity to study-abroad in France for a year on an academic scholarship, and was exposed to many beautiful scenes to capture with my camera. There I honed my skills of capturing moments as they arrive, contributing to a photojournalistic photography style.
Aside from Weddings, I am a formally-trained newborn photographer. I spent three years as a newborn photographer for several different hospitals in the Central Valley and Central Coast of California. These photographs were the intimate moments shared between new mothers and their babies in the day after the birth. These tender moments were of a story-telling nature, and I am privileged to have been a part of this milestone in many new parents lives.
An interest in written story-telling caused me to further develop my distinctive photojournalistic style. I use photography in place of words to tell the story of my clients, as if I were writing their story. This is where I am most passionate about my work. I love that I am able to use my camera to tell your story.
Already a professional newborn photographer with an avid interest in all photography, I was asked to photograph a friends wedding in the summer of 2007. I enjoyed it very much, and they loved their photos! I have also recently had the honor of photographing her first baby girl in November, 2008! Their wedding sparked my interest in the field of wedding photography, and inspired me to start my own photography business.
I currently reside in Fresno, California, but will photograph events throughout Central California, including the Monterey and San Francisco Bay areas. I absolutely LOVE to travel, and will consider destination weddings to tropical paradise anytime! I will also offer special pricing to any wedding in France as I would love to have the opportunity to return!
