Modern wedding and portrait photography on the West Coast and Portland area
The other day I was talking to a coworker about her upcoming wedding that she’s been planning for almost a year. “I still have 4 months left and now it feels like I’m just waiting around!” she exclaimed and then sighed. Now, I’m all for taking as long as you need for an engagement (my husband and I were engaged about 8 months before our wedding) but I love it… Keep Reading
I’m so excited to share a sneak peek at this NE Portland wedding! You know the wedding is going to be amazing when the engagement photos were an adventure that included sliding down coastal sand cliffs, walking barefoot on boulders to get close to crashing ocean waves and so much laughter and smiles you feel like you’ve known the couple for ages. Enter Alicia and Anthony, the sweetest couple who… Keep Reading
I remember the day I went into labor so very clearly. It’s obviously a day I’ll never forget, right up until my sweet sweet epidural started really kicking in. Then things got a little hazy and from that point on, it was one big blur until the moment our little girl arrived. I didn’t know how badly I wanted a birth photographer until I had one and luckily the amazingly… Keep Reading
They say a little rain is good luck on your wedding day, and photographers say overcast skies are perfect for photos, so this sweet couple had the perfect combination when they got married a few weeks ago at the Dundee Lodge in Gaston! I’ve so enjoyed getting to know Justin and Lorisa, an adventurous couple who met while playing cards with friends 7 years ago! They are madly in love… Keep Reading
This week is a BIG week!! Not only do I officially have a ONE year old tomorrow, but I also celebrate the birthday of another baby of mine: my business! Yes folks, it was FIVE years ago this week when I got my official business license and became established as Erin Elizabeth Photography! Excuse me while I go stuff my face full of cake. I’m so proud of how my… Keep Reading
I made it a goal to blog more this year (which I also think was my goal last year!) so with the year rapidly speeding to an end, I’m actually going to blog a wedding, specifically April and Sam’s wedding on 8-18-18! It was a perfect day for this pair who met in Santa Barbara and made their journey together to Oregon. The weather was warm, the sun was bright… Keep Reading
It occured to me that summer is in FULL FORCE which means September will be here before we know it!! For most of us, that’s a sad realization, but for Justin and Lorisa, that just means we’re on the countdown for their wedding day! This couple thrives in the outdoors, so they know some amazing locations which makes this photographer very happy! They suggested Horning’s Hideout for their engagement photos… Keep Reading
It occured to me a few weeks ago that Katy was one of the very first people I met when I moved to Portland. She actually trained me at the job that moved me up here, and since I moved to Portland about four days before I started that job I can count her as one of the first people I met almost nine years ago. Crazy, right? While it’s… Keep Reading
I suddenly panicked today when I realized it’s only 10 months until December and basically Christmas. HOW is it already March?! On the other hand, I’m glad it’s already March because I’m already over the rain for the season and we got some beautiful sunshine today in the PNW, so it got it all excited for some beautiful upcoming sessions I have planned this year! Though I have to say,… Keep Reading
I am an ocean girl. I grew up about an hours drive away from the coast, often delighting in family trips to Santa Cruz or driving to Ocean Beach with friends in High School. No shock that I fell in love with San Diego and after applying to colleges only on the California coast, made the leap and moved to San Diego…and stuck around there for 10 years! Moving to… Keep Reading
Seeing as I’m just WEEKS away from meeting our first little one, I’m getting a little weepy eyed at the fact that I won’t be pregnant much longer. You see, I’m one of the weird people who have loved pregnancy! Minus a wicked bout of carpal tunnel in my last trimester, I’ve had it fairly easy and more than anything, I’ve truly been in awe of my pregnant body. I’ve… Keep Reading
2017 has been the year of babies! Little G was so excited to make his way into the world that he showed up 6 weeks early!! Quite a scare for mom and dad, but after 4 weeks in the NICU, this little guy proved strong and mighty! I’ve known the P family for years now and it’s a delight to see them become new parents, especially since I’ll be down… Keep Reading
