New Blog Coming Soon!

2008-04-04T17:04:00.012-07:00

Thanks to a Flickr buddy, my blog will be getting a face lift. I'm so excited. The pictures will be nice and BIG.

Here are just a few photos from Kueyson's b-day last week. We spent a nice quite evening together. I baked a cake and we went out for dinner. Yes, I actually baked a cake! It turned out tasty and even looked pretty good too (after the frosting was put on!)

On the same day I had a photo session with the cutest little boys!

Congrats Kara and Kristoffer!

2008-03-26T00:30:00.005-07:00

Kara and Kristoffer were married in Tucson at Heritage Highlands.
It was such a beautiful outdoor ceremony--nice and green. And of course Kara looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress!

They seriously had one of the best first dances I have ever seen. Guests blew bubbles all around their them. It wa quite spectacular!

You can find plenty more photos from their big event at www.erinMichellephoto.com in the wedding gallery.

Wedding Season is Here!

2008-03-25T21:57:00.007-07:00

I haven't posted anything since early February. I've been super busy meeting with couples and getting ready for wedding season. It officially started last weekend with Kara and Kristoffer. You can see a few of their photos on my site and I'll be posting a few more here.

Here are a few photos that I have been meaning to share.

2008-02-04T21:47:00.001-07:00

Here are a few photos from a family session back in January. These were taken in La Mesa, New Mexico.

Aw, what a nice big brother!

Senior Session

2008-01-30T21:39:00.000-07:00

Here are a few images from Seth's session on Saturday.
I still need to post photos from my New Mexico family session and wedding. I should have them up in a couple of days.

Las Cruces Engagement Session

2008-01-22T21:23:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was pretty busy for me. I went down to Las Cruces for a few photo sessions and a wedding. Here are some of my favorite photos from Summer and Michael's engagement session on Friday. These two were so cute--up for anything! We ended up walking around Mesilla for most of their session. We also took a little drive to a couple new spots I scouted out. I'm really excited about their photos!

I will be posting a few photos from my other weekend shoots soon!

Anna and Dustin

2008-01-21T14:14:00.000-07:00

My first wedding of 2008 went great! Anna and Dustin were married in Las Cruces, NM, at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. It was such a perfect day for an outdoor wedding! Here are a few images from their wedding day.

2008-01-07T17:45:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone had a great holiday. December was a fantastic month for me. I have so much to share! The first good news is I won 7th place in the Q3 Artistic Guild contest from the Wedding Photojournalist Association. Here is my winning image with notes from the judge:

Before Christmas I was honored to photograph Sarah and Pete's wedding in Tucson. They had a beautiful morning wedding with a wonderful brunch reception.

New Wedding Albums!

2007-12-13T18:07:00.000-07:00

I am proud to introduce you to the new wedding album line I am now offering. I am SO excited to be working with Kiss Wedding Books! You're going to love this album! They come in some really fun colors including this awesome green one a bought for my sample.

Like the red wall? I just painted my office!

New Site Up and Running!

2007-12-07T15:48:00.000-07:00

The new template is up! There are still a few more things I will be changing in the next couple of days. You can reach it at the same address http://www.erinmichellephoto.com

I have had a few emails asking about the new price list. The only price difference is on the mini shoot. It has been raised to $75. and there is a ONE person limit. We have been debating about the date to raise wedding prices. We'll keep you updated. We will either be changing them January 1st or March 1st. Either way there will be at least $400. increase.

Let me know what you think of the site. There are some great new features I'm really excited about. For one, the proofing section has changed dramatically. You no longer will be directed to another site. The new proofing section will NOT affect clients whose sessions happened before Dec. 4th.

If you are not able to get the old proofing site, drop me a line and I'll give you the link.

Have a great day.
Sorry, no photos to post today :(

Hacienda del Sol

2007-12-06T21:46:00.000-07:00

I think I found my new favorite place to shoot in Tucson. Brides--check this place out for your wedding. It has the old pueblo look with TONS of great color. Erin recommended it for her shoot. She wanted some pictures of her and the hubby for the holidays.
Here are a few of my favorites. Can you see why I love this place?!

P.S.
The new website should be up in the next couple of days.

2007-12-05T22:56:00.000-07:00

Once again I'm behind on blogging! I have a good reason for it this time. I've been working hard on the new website! Yes, you heard correctly--I'm making a NEW site (again.) I'll keep you updated on this change and the new price list for 2008 as well.

In the meantime, here are a few pictures of Bethany. We went out for a mini shoot at the Botanical Gardens.

My Family

2007-11-26T12:22:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving weekend. I know I sure did! I was even able to take my family out for some portraits. It was a challenge getting in the pictures too, but I managed with the help of Kueyson and of course my trusty tripod!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2007-11-21T17:05:00.000-07:00

'Tis the season for family photos! Ashlee and Joceyln were down for the holidays and wanted a family photo with their mom. We had a good time together at Sabino Canyon. Can you believe that was my first time there? I really need go out and explore my backyard more often!

Jocelyn is taking belly dancing lessons and we made her show off some of her moves.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!! I have so many more photos to share after the break!

Jennaya

2007-11-19T10:20:00.000-07:00

I just love how Jennaya's pictures turned out. She was in need of a few portraits and decided her backyard was the perfect location. I am so jealous of her yard! I'll have to post a picture of mine sometime :(
Anyone want to trade yard work for pictures??? LOL!

Scottsdale LOVE

2007-11-11T08:03:00.000-07:00

I met Jessica and Rudy in Scottsdale for some engagement photos. These two were great to hang out with. I am so excited for their wedding too! They are going to have their ceremony near the Love sculpture in Scottsdale. That's where Rudy proposed to her! After the ceremony we'll head to my new favorite hotel, The Mondrian--talk about posh!

More from October

2007-11-10T10:12:00.000-07:00

October was a great month, I met so many wonderful people!

Britany and Andrew are getting married in April. We spent the day taking engagement photos downtown and at Trail Dust Town in Tucson.

I took this family out to the botanical gardens in Tucson. The color was gorgeous!

Melissa and Chris claimed they were camera shy--Ha! I've never seen anyone have so much fun in front of the camera!

Jenn + Jeremy

2007-10-18T19:53:00.000-07:00

I've been so behind on my blogging!
Jenn and Jeremy were married in Tucson on Sept. 29th. It was such a lovely wedding--a large one too! They had the largest wedding party I have ever photographed. The group was a blast to take out for portraits though, they definitely let loose!

Her are only a handful of my favorite images from the day.

Engagemnet Session and Becki's Birthday!

2007-10-14T18:55:00.000-07:00

I am so happy about Saturday's engagement session. I was able to capture so many wonderful autumn colors. Jeff and Becki were great to work with. It was Becki's birthday and she didn't mind spending it with me --HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKI!!!--

Fire Station Session

2007-10-10T08:13:00.000-07:00

Here are a few images from a session a had at a fire station (great idea Sharee!) This little kiddo used her dad's gear for some fun props.

Portraits, Portraits, Portraits!

2007-10-04T08:12:00.000-07:00

This week I was busy with two portrait sessions.

First, I went out with Scott, Dawn, and their five month old son. This little guy has such gorgeous eyes. Just look at them!

On Wednesday, I took Mandy out for some portraits downtown. She was so great to work with--a natural model!

Lauren and Kyle

2007-09-23T23:52:00.000-07:00

Lauren and Kyle's engagement shoot was a blast! We started our session at the U of A. Lauren and Kyle are both attend school there and since I had never been, Lauren made sure to give me a mini tour. What a beautiful campus! We ended the day on 4th Ave., we found so many great spots there--tons of color and interesting walls (I love fun walls!)

Candice + Russell (and the girls!)

2007-09-22T23:15:00.000-07:00

Her are a few images from Candice and Russell's engagement session. They brought their two dogs along for the fun--they were so cute!

Meet Nina

2007-09-22T13:00:00.001-07:00

Kueyson's co-worker convinced us we had to take one of her puppies. We were apprehensive at first, but one look at that little freckle face and I knew we had to have her! She's a four month old Cocker Spaniel. We've had her for over a month, she sure is a handful!

Some of you have been wondering why I haven't posted any pictures of her.
Here she is--Meet Nina!

Here I am with Nina. Photographed by Kueyson.

Savoy Opera House

2007-09-17T13:47:00.000-07:00

I am so glad I was able to photograph Kendra and Jeremy's reception at the Savoy Opera House in Tucson. It truly was an amazing location!

Everyone had a great time out on the dance floor--I definitely captured moments I'm sure no one will forget--the quiet ones and the wild and crazy!

2007-08-01T15:34:00.000-07:00

Here are some of my favorite mechanical bull photos from Ellie and Connor's wedding. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard! People were just flying left and right--it sure was a sight!

2007-07-25T20:24:00.001-07:00

My little sister came to visit me in Tucson for a few days. I finally got a chance to take her out for some portraits. Here are some of my favorites:

Trash the Dress

2007-07-22T21:34:00.000-07:00

I went out last Sunday with Jackie and Ryan for a Trash the Dress session. Jackie decided to brave it and ruin her dress for the sake of art. It definitely paid off! Here are a few pictures of them braving it in a pool!

You can view more pictures from their session in the Featured gallery at www.erinMichellephoto.com

Thanks for Your Patience

2007-07-20T08:35:00.000-07:00

As I mentioned before, the website still needs some tweaking. Thanks to all of you who have emailed us about the problems you've run into. I think the only problem now is the gallery issue. As most of you have noticed, the galleries are not corresponding with the right pictures. We are aware of this and are in the process of fixing it! Also, the contact form is not ready yet. Please email me directly if you need to reach me. We will update you when these problems have been fixed.

If you are having any other problems, let us know! We want to make sure the sight is running smoothly.

Thanks for your continued support and patience during this transition!

What do you think of the new logo?

New Website Launch

2007-07-18T16:14:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Steve and his genius ideas, the website is finished (plus or minus a few kinks!)
I think Steve is the happiest of all, he doesn't have to deal with my indecisiveness anymore! He sure was a trooper though! I told him I'd still be bugging him a lot until I figure out how to work the site myself.

Here he is hard at work in my dining room!

Crazy Weekend!

2007-07-17T20:37:00.000-07:00

Wow! I had a lot of fun in New Mexico this past weekend with three shoots. First, I had a blast with Heather and her kiddos. We could have won an award for fasted photo shoot ever! It was about to pour cats and dogs so we just ran around the park trying to beat the rain.

I'm almost finished with the pictures from the trash the dress session. They're turning out so good. I can't wait to show them off!

Disney World

2007-07-10T16:27:00.000-07:00

I just finished looking over pictures from our trip to Florida. Can you believe Kueyson and I have been married for a year?!!
Our anniversary trip to Disney World was great. It was REALLY hot and sticky though! Here are a few of my favorite pictures:

Long live Simba
