{Brothers} Bishop, Ca Portrait Photographer

This was such a great photo shoot! These 2 brothers are adorable and were just so sweet to one another, it totally shows in the photos. I hope their mom and dad love these photos as much as I do! Here is a sampling from our rustic photo shoot in Bishop.

{Hooray for 2011!}

Erin Gladding Photography had a wonderful first year in business! THANK YOU to everyone who gave me a chance and to my friends and family for their wonderful support! I enjoyed meeting so many new people too. I am so excited and have tons of creative ideas for this coming year! Just can't wait to incorporate them all! Just a few of the exciting new things coming up...

{Weddings}

I am so thrilled to announce that I will be working with Steve Dutcher as his back up photographer for weddings. He is an amazing photographer and has already taught me so much. Check out his work if you haven't already. www.stevedutcher.com I absolutely love all of the detail and beauty of weddings and I can not wait for wedding season! I have a few shots from a wedding this past summer that I will post separately so look out for it!

{Traveling}

I plan to do 2 traveling shoots. I will do 1 day in the Bay area and 1 in the Los Angeles area. The dates will be announced once I know when they will be. Please, please, please suggest my Facebook Fan Page to your friends who live in these areas! Then they will be able to see my post when I announce that I will be scheduling in those areas.

{Frames}

I found these fabulous frames by The Organic Bloom and will be offering them with print orders. The colors are absolutely amazing and they will add a super unique touch to your home. There will be more on this once I receive my samples. Please email me for prices.

Many thanks for your support and as always please email or call if you have any questions.

{New Beginnings - 1/52 Weeks}

"New Beginnings" is the theme for the first week of "Let's Do 52"! I joined a group through a blog that I follow and will be taking a weekly photo based on the theme that is chosen. I will be posting the photos on my photography FaceBook page and probably on here too when I'm actually blogging. I'm really excited for this challenge because I have been photographing our family a lot less since I have been photographing other people. Along with the fact that I do more retouching than shooting now, I am super excited for the creative challenge. So the first thing that came to my mind for this week's theme "New Beginnings"...

Titled "Bigirlbed".

In honor of daddy building her new bed and being a big girl now.

So in typical mommy & Madden photo shoot fashion, Madden sat for barely 2 seconds and was up and onto something new. It let me be creative so I thought I would share what I got. Her shadow leaving me is below, followed by mommy moving onto other things and Madden re arranging her toys.

There were also some other new beginnings this week that were just too sweet not to share. Below is a photo of Madden and Payton (first time meeting our dear friends' baby girl). We visited with the new babies at the school farm today too!

Happy 2011! ~Erin
