    I love her use of color!

    i loved how down to earth and witty she was with her writing…

    Thought provoking statement: “…..your photographs are symptoms….” thought provoking and simply quite profound.

    I really appreciate how Erin realized that while striving to have a “professional” appearance (no trace of kids) she soon discovered that what she was aiming for wasn’t her personality at all.

    I am my own brand…though I am not professional I am a photo addict from childhood. And now that I am the family member creating the visual legacy for my family, I can certain see my personality in my work and the love for them with my style!

    I love her honesty! I am all about honesty and don’t think I could not be myself around clients if I tried. I whole-heartedly agree with her advice, love it! Oh, I also love that her must have “photography” item is a pony tail holder-HA! I have one in my hair, AND one on my wrist as we type. ;)

    her work is fresh, beautiful and classic!!

    I love, love, love her clean, crisp shots. Just by reading her blog and this article I feel like a session with her would be carefree and relaxing. As a mom of three, I am usually an uptight-stressed out lady trying to get my kids to cooperate in a portrait studio (ugh).

    I like it best when she describes relaxing and letting go of trying to be so “professional” when she realized her clients love her for who she is…a Mom of young kiddos. That those precious kids are a big part of what makes her a great photographer. I can identify.

  • Ginger

    I love how genuine she is! And of course her photographs- they are real and stunning! Thanks for sharing!

  • http://www.purephotographypics.com Michelle Anderson

    I love that Erin finally realized that her business and her personal life had to be fused to make both complete. Taking the personality out of her business left it lacking. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

    I love that she says she likes to get into her clients heart and dig around a bit and see what she comes up with. Her photos show that, and I think that’s very important.

    I love her! Her refreshing outlook on not only taking pictures of children but also having children in her “real” life being a part of what she does. Her images were awesome and I have spent the last hour viewing her websites!
