Shaylee...Can you say STUNNING?!?

This beautiful bride was such a trooper...literally, I had her traipsing all over the weed covered fields in search for the perfect shot. I think her pics turned out great. Thanks Shaylee for the good shooting!!! Luv, erin

Of course I had to shoot her blowing the dandelions...my new favorite thing to do at a shoot.

Ahh...sun flare and weeds, two of God's greatest gifts to photographers.

The shot above and the one below are my two favorite from the shoot.

Ashlyn Bella

Ashlyn, you are a beautiful, sweet, cuddly baby girl. OH, how I love little girls. And Ashlyn's blue eyes were sooooooo cute. Here are a few of my favorites from your shoot.

Happy Mother's Day!

This morning Mark and my boys woke me up to breakfast in bed. After opening the two greatest gifts from the boys, Diet Pepsi and M&Ms, I was able to take a half hour shower...which if you know anything about my recent showering habits, I can assure it that I needed it. Later while we were at church we listened to the kids sing. After I was given a lovely flower, I came home and made my mom dinner.



But the best part of the day (well besides the breakfast in bed and the shower) was a visit from my single and handsome cousin JAROM! He is so cute and happy and sweet and friendly and talented...Can you tell how much I think he is rockin' awesome?

Super Sarah, sassy and sweet!

Sarah, you are the inspiration of my life right now. I just died over these shots. I have only edited a few, but they are all gems...so your little sneak peek is more like an entire collection! Thank you for having me do your pictures. You are a BEAUTY! oh la la...the next one is one of my favs!

I love the retro look in the next two...she has such great style!

My New Theme Song

This is truly the story of my life right now...and too funny.

and the White Trash Mother award goes to...

Me. Me. Oh, pick Me!!! I suppose I could more accurately call myself a 'brown' trash mother, but either phrase at this point will suffice.



1. I was busy (on the Internet) so I let Teddy park himself in front of the boob tube, in a convenient toddler size lounge chair and watch t.v for...(ha, I got you there, like I'm really going to admit I let him watch t.v. for 4 hours today)

2. When my little couch potato got restless, I remedied the problem by popping the kid some popcorn. (I want to teach him while he's young that boredom can be squelched with snack food. Learning the valuable lazy lard-butt skills while he's young will save him the hassle of working hard and being a productive adult later in life.)

3. Then when he couldn't take it any longer, I let him run around snot-nosed, begging for candy. Because, really, why not start now the life of a vagrant?

4. And just to make sure I secured my spot as biggest white (or brown) trash mother out there, I let the snot-nosed, sugar-hyped, toddler of mine trike the neighborhood in his UNDIES! (I'm preparing him for his motorcycle riding, wife-beater shirt wearing future.)

Anderson Family - Washington

Hey Awesome Anderson family! Here are a few of your shots. I had a lot of fun in Washington with you. oh, and dear elliot, you were so darling. Maybe next time I won't scare the dickens out of you.
Luv, Erin

PROM

No, I didn't go to prom...Yeah right. ok, so I wasn't asked...and Mark's not into crashing the high school proms around here anyway...go figure. I did, however, get to take fun, wacky, crazy, prom pictures for Sidney (my perma-model, most of the time). I thought they turned out great, and are an excellent reprise from the typical gross stand like a mannequin shots you get after waiting an hour in line for prom pics.

Aw, sweet Prom memories. I had a blast the few times I was able to go to prom. I remember being so keyed up to go, and planning out my outfit for weeks in advanced. I like to say that in my glory days, I ROCKED the dance floor...but that is my side of the story...hopefully my dates didn't think I was a total drag.

ASK THE AUDIENCE: How was your prom? Did you go? Did you have fun? Memories?
