Modern wedding and portrait photography on the West Coast and Portland area
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
I had so much fun with Christmas mini sessions last year, and back by popular demand, they’re back for 2018!! I can’t resist beautiful christmas trees, wonderful families and adorable Christmas outfits! Just like last year, I plan to GIVE BACK as part of the session fee. This year’s donation will help to support a few families affected by the Northern California wildfires. I can’t imagine losing my home, let… Keep Reading
It’s always amazed me how a memory, a fraction of time can stay in your mind forever, transporting you so clearly to that exact moment. Much like photographer, memories have a way to freeze time. We have thousands of moments and interactions every single day, but sometimes you can pull a memory out and it’s crystal clear, like your mind knew it needed to clear out some junk just so… 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
I had an abundance of mamma-to-be’s this past fall, which means this winter brought all the newborn babies!! I was in heaven and the first few sessions of the year were brand new babies, which I have a big soft spot for! I am known around my friends as “The Baby Whisperer” and nothing makes me smile more than holding those tiny squishy adorable bundles of joy! You probably remember… Keep Reading
I’ve known the Melton’s for well..since before they officially became the Melton’s! I met Julie shortly after moving to Oregon and have watched her love story to Jason unfold, and was lucky enough to capture many moments along the way! I even did their first maternity session many years ago when they were anxiously awaiting the arrival of Connor. Well now their family is growing again and Baby Girl Melton… Keep Reading
When I was growing up, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to be, but I wanted to do something that paid me to travel. That’s STILL my dream and well, I guess one could say I’m living that dream. While I don’t travel for a living, through my “day job”, I have traveled to amazing destinations and my camera comes with me wherever I go. The best part about making… Keep Reading
You know that day in November in Portland where you are so thankful that it’s not raining, despite it being almost freezing? A day when the sun shines all afternoon and the light is perfect and your clients show up color coordinated and they’re beautiful? Yah, that kind of day brings many smiles to a photographers face! I had a great time meeting up with the M family in the… Keep Reading
So…about that blog. Let’s just say 2015 was a PHENOMENAL year and I was so busy being behind the camera that I didn’t have time to put much into the blog. It’s a shame. There were SO many wonderful moments I got to capture in 2015! From families, to new babies, to newlyweds, 2015 was a blast for Erin Elizabeth Photography! I have too.many.session to blog. What a great problem… Keep Reading
About 6 weeks ago, I went to publish these photos to this adorable family session in San Diego when I noticed I was having trouble uploading photos. Little did I know there was a hacker who got INTO MY WEBSITE and screwed it up all kinds of crazy ways. It’s been a bit of a headache (OK, quite a bit of a headache) to get it back up and running, but… Keep Reading
It’s hard to believe it was MONTHS ago that I ran down to my former hometown of San Diego for some wonderful family photography sessions! It’s been a BUSY few months for me. Once summer ended and my travels came to a halt for a bit, the husband and I bought our first house and closed right before the end of 2014!! What an OVER THE TOP exciting year!! We’ve… Keep Reading
