This could be my last engagement shoot of the year, which is a sad thought for me. With the temperature beginning to drop and the daily dose of vitamin D starting to increase, I hate though thought of hanging up the camera for the season. It’s been a fantastic year, with amazing clients who’ve treated as family in their home, have been patient, and loved their photos. And i’ll miss this. There is definitely some kind of high us photographers get after a shoot. That confident feeling knowing we created some art that they will love, put up in their home, and share with their family and friends. I have to credit all my clients for making my career worth it, by giving me the opportunity work with them, to get to know them, enabling that artistic high. It definitely makes the stress, high-workload, financial difficulties, and mothers-of-the-brides (i’m kidding moms – you’ve all been great!) of this career easier to deal with.
Natalia and Jean-Francios (JF) are no exceptions. They are definitely unique souls, and I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with them. I asked them how they had met, and I was given a hilarious play-by-play story, and when finished I asked “ok, now seriously, what’s the real story?”. It was the real story! It’s amazing, and sometimes hilarious how two people meet, in sometimes typical places, but still being so unique and unusual.
Natalia and JF are members of local band The JFR Project, and i’m stoked to hear them play at their wedding in February. Thank you Natalia and JF for a great afternoon – I am looking forward to February!
Thank you everyone for visiting!
















These are great, Erik. You never cease to amaze me in the way you are able to capture people’s personalities in your pictures and in the way every engagement session, wedding, maternity session etc leads to photos as unique as the subjects themselves. Hope you are well (PS: Love Alex and Erin’s pictures — sad we couldn’t be there to celebrate with you all!)
Yay!! Wonderful Erik…I think you captured them perfectly! Can’t wait for the wedding!!
What a cute couple. I agree with your comment at the top. I love taking pictures all year. I don’t want to hang up the camera either.
awesome color!
Awesome job on this session! The color is so warm and inviting. I look forward to seeing their wedding photos.
You’ll do an amazing job as usual.
Really nice photos! Love the unique locations and posing!
Beautiful photos Erik! You are on fire lately!! Love your new blogsite as well. I went to highschool with Natalia, so happy to see her in love and following her dreams!!!
