The Spear Family

I know it's been a very LONG time since my last post. I have been super busy working on the business aspect of things. So I was so excited to take a break from that and photograph the Spear Family on Sunday. Our first shoot got postponed because of rain, but we really lucked out with some GORGEOUS sunshine this time.

I met Amber a few years ago at a local craft fair. She makes THE BEST hair accessories for little girls. I don't buy from anyone else. Please visit her WEBSITE if you have a little girl in your life.

Amber and her husband Stephen have two little girls, Kaitlynn and Kamryn. They are the funniest, most joyful little girls. I had such a great time photographing them, they had me cracking up with their model walk and robot dance moves! There are so many great shots from their session, I had a hard time choosing.

Thanks you guys, I had a wonderful time and I hope you enjoy the photos!

Finally, some blonds!















Beautiful Kamryn





















Lovely Kaitlynn...this is one of my favorites.















Are these not the cutest hair clips you've ever seen?!















Every couple needs a nice shot of themselves together.





















My FAVORITE one...love it!

A Brand New EMP

If you've visited my website in the last week (and I know you do on a daily basis!) you've probably noticed some HUGE changes. After giving my business a lot of thought I felt I needed to focus more on the things that I am truly passionate about. Those things all happen to be "girly" things; makeup, clothes, jewelry, beauty etc. Those are the things that really get me excited.

As of now, Erin Michelle Photography will be focused on making women of all ages look and feel beautiful. Of course, I will still be taking family portraits etc. but my packages will mostly be geared toward the females. What does that mean exactly? Well, I've added Trash the Dress sessions to my packages, some really fun maternity options, and most of all, boudoir photography. In the next few weeks I'll be putting up more details regarding these packages and I am super excited about it!

I hope you'll check out my new website and let me know what you think!

My Little Leilah Bean

After my last post featuring Isabella and Colette, Leilah was feeling neglected, so I thought I'd do a little spot on her today. First, I must apologize for spelling her name the way I did. She's been called Layla, Leelah...pretty much everything BUT Leilah (LIE-LAH). I spelled it that way because it is the Irish spelling and because it means "dark beauty." I think it is pretty fitting.
















Sometimes I feel bad and think, she will probably be scarred for life because no one will know how to say her name. But then she goes and pulls all the trash out of the trashcan and I don't feel bad anymore. She has a mean streak. It scares me...

















See what I mean?

But, it doesn't last long and then she is back to her adorable self. And then I feel bad about her name again. I think I'll just call her Susan.

Manual Labor

A few days ago, my brother and I decided to clean out the garage as a surprise for my dad. If you live in the Denver area, you know that last week it pretty much rained dirt. Every car on the street was covered in brown dirt and it was pretty gross. So, even though it was only in the 50s, my girls decided to put on their suits and help Uncle J wash my mom's car. In typical Coco fashion, she was cold and quit after about 5 minutes. But Bella kept plugging along and got pretty into it as you can see. They looked so cute, I just had to get out my camera for a few shots.

The Click Chick Cafe Launch!

It is time to reveal my secret! Today I am proudly launching my new site, the Click Chick Cafe. This site has been in the works for some time now, ever since I envisioned a place where photographers could come to learn more about their passion. With the help of my 6 amazing photographer friends, the site came to fruition and I love how it came out.

Each of us will be regularly contributing to the site, updating it bi-monthly with fresh articles, photos and, in the future, video tutorials. I hope you'll take a look at it and pass it along to anyone you know who loves photography.

Also, you can now follow the Click Chicks on Facebook. We hope you'll join us!

Thank you again to Kym, Delbarr, Ashley, Abriana, Mike and Jess. You guys took an idea and totally ran with it. I can't wait to learn more from all of you! =) And a special thank you to Sarah Rhoads for taking time to do an interview with us!
