This past weekend was my first wedding of the 2013 season, and an incredible way to begin. Brett & Diana are those people that just make everything look effortless. They celebrated their love in the most beautiful, sophisticated & *fun* Chicago wedding imaginable and pulled it off with a grace that made it look way easier than it possibly could be!
You two deserve the amazing South American honeymoon you are having. When you can, grab a drink and enjoy this first peek into your wedding photos…

Diana…you were are the most stunning bride! Truly.
Pulling up to the reception on a Water Taxi? Why not…

Brett & Diana…to be honest, I’m a little sad that your wedding is over…only because that means I don’t get to keep working with you two! I truly loved every moment of my experience with you both and I hope our paths will continue to cross in the future!!

Christy Tyler - Oh my gosh – just unbelievably stunning! What a gorgeous couple, wedding, and images! And it didn’t rain! YAY! So so pretty.

Emilia Jane - HOLY WHAT ERICA?!!?!? Oh em gee. I love every single thing about this wedding girl seriously.

May 17, 2013 - 12:10 am

Erica - haha…I love this comment! Thank you, Emilia! I know…seriously stunning in every way possible. I can’t take much credit, there was so much beauty it was just there for the capturing!

May 17, 2013 - 12:10 am

Erica - Yes! Thank goodness…everything went perfectly. I told you, one of the best couples ever! Great way to start the season.

Anchorage Engagement Session :: Carly & Tony

I have always wanted to photograph an engagement session at Beluga Point (a little stop on the side of the road between Girdwood and Anchorage). On a beautiful day I think it is one of the prettiest spots ever. I was *so* happy that Carly chose that spot for her and Tony’s engagement photos last week. I thought it would be hard to convince someone to start a session at 8:30pm, but not these two. All I had to say was that the golden sunset light makes all the difference in photos, and they were on board. Every day the sun sets a little later up here, but I’m up for starting any time if it means we’ll get some of this glow-y goodness.
This week Tony is visiting Carly here in Alaska, next month they’ll be getting married in their home town of Omaha, Nebraska. Tony & Carly, I am so happy for you two…and excited for your Alaskan adventures together over the next few years! Here are a few of my favorites, lots more to come. xo – E

Emilia Jane - What an incredible location. Wow wow wow.

May 6, 2013 - 1:09 pm

Christy Tyler - Oh my goodness!!! These are STUNNING! I’m jealous of the mountains – we don’t quite have places like that in Chicago! ;) Also – not sure how I missed the new blog announcement – but I LOVE it!!! yay!

“i’m not locked…”

Earlier this year Jamie and I went snowshoeing on Cypress Mountain in Vancouver. It was a gray day and snow was falling pretty heavily as we went along. It was absolutely beautiful and peacefully quiet. Neither of us were familiar with the trails so we just explored. After an hour or so we found a warming hut and stopped to see what was inside. As we walked up to the door, I saw that a sign was posted.
Jamie shoved the door before turning away because it wouldn’t open, and I said…”Read the sign, it says its not locked – just hard to open.”
www.erosephoto.comI stopped and read it again and this feeling of serendipity washed over me.
It seemed like this sign should have been worn around my neck, not taped to the door of this warming hut.

“I’m not locked. Just sometimes hard to open.”
Yep. That pretty much sums it up.

All but those who know me well might be surprised by this, but I’m not someone who easily throws open the door and welcomes the world inside…not really. I tend to be more cautious, and always take a read on the situation before inserting myself.

Normally I’m not a really introspective type, but I couldn’t get over this sign. And then someone wise said something to me (and because he is wise I thought I should listen).

Jeff said: Erica, you know its the really valuable stuff that is worth a little bit of digging.

Basically, don’t begrudge any part of yourself…celebrate it!
I’m thankful for the perspective of people like Jeff in my life, everyone needs reminders like this sometimes.

Amanda Miller - Love this post, Erica!

May 1, 2013 - 3:38 pm

Erica - Thanks Amanda…I get all weird about posting more personal stuff! So thanks for loving it!!

May 1, 2013 - 11:27 pm

Rhae Anne - I think that’s why we are friends…people tell have told me “if the doors locked, you’ll just keep talking as you break out the window.” HA!

May 2, 2013 - 10:06 am

Erica - haha…THAT is awesome. Probably why we hit it off so well!

May 3, 2013 - 11:10 am

Alicia Sturdy - Seriously – I know I know you, but this post and your new “about me” slides make me feel like I know you even more! Loved the post my dear!

May 3, 2013 - 11:58 am

Erica - Alicia…this is exactly what I would have hoped to hear about both this post and the ‘about me’ page!! Thank you! Trust me, it took some work to come up with the right wording for those slides.

May 6, 2013 - 1:20 pm

Christy Tyler - I really love this so much, & love that you recognized this about yourself! People who are more difficult to figure out or open up are always the most interesting to me though (maybe because I’m the opposite – a totally open book). Hopefully you’ll continue to share more about yourself on the blog – I like it! :)

How to Gain a Fresh Perspective :: Visiting Kotzebue

I love any opportunity to experience a new place. Last weekend we finally got to visit Kris & Amy (brother & sister in law!) at their cozy little home, north of the Arctic Circle in Kotzebue. You have to fly to Kotz. it isn’t connected to anything by roads, although I think there is an ice road to a couple of neighboring villages in the Winter (yeah…). It is really amazing how a just couple of days out of our normal routine can be completely rejuvenating.
Normally when I’m on the ocean, it isn’t frozen beneath me! Let me tell you, this is not typically my element…but I *love* that! I love the feeling of being somewhere new and less-comfortable and experiencing the goodness of life there. If you’ve never done that before, its about time!

Levi’s First Birthday

On March 17th Levi had his First Birthday! I never expected that I would be someone to be so excited to celebrate a first birthday, but I guess there really is something different about it being my own baby.
Lets be real honest here…I am known to put way too much pressure on myself about this sort of thing…and comparing myself to others via pinterest is not helpful! I didn’t go over the top, but I think that part of me just wanted Levi to know that this was a special day, and that I love him. Thank goodness (for Jamie) we had a couple of good friends in town the night before and they helped out sooo much.
This feels like as much of a celebration for Jamie and I (We all made it to this milestone, and more or less we are all in one piece!) as it is for Levi. We celebrated with lots of great friends and family, and Levi seemed to be in his element. The cherry on top was when Levi, sitting in his chair with the birthday candles lit, looked at his cake and said “Wow!” Melt my heart, why don’t ya?
