This is the Love they write books about.
&nbsp;
Jon and Tiara are that couple that people make friends with that you stop referring to just one of them and always accompany one name with the other &ldquo;are we inviting Tiara &amp; Jon&rdquo; &ldquo;Who's all going? Jon and Tiara.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
I&rsquo;ve been fortunate to be their friends on this rollercoaster we call life, so when their 15 year anniversary was coming around I finally convinced them we needed to do something FOR THEM to celebrate such a milestone in their Love. A love like theirs supports others, uplifts others, and transforms their family and friends. Im so happy with how their playful love is represented here.
Happy Anniversary love birds! 🥂

If I were to choose my favorite clients, I'd unhesitatingly pick the Greabells. They're an adorable, quirky family with a peculiar distaste for pictures. Yet, they always end up in front of my camera, begrudgingly putting up with the flashes, the poses, and the endless clicking. It's an amusing contradiction that I've grown fond of over the years. Most people do not really understand the true worth of hiring a photographer. They often see it as an unnecessary expense, an extravagance that could be easily replaced by a smartphone. But let me tell you, there's a world of difference between a spontaneous click on a phone and a picture crafted with love and attention by a professional. The Greabells were no different initially. They would complain about the inconvenience, the time consumed, and the seemingly pointless effort. But everything changed when they received their first edited gallery from me. That's when they realized the value of hiring an artist. It was not about the money they spent, but about the moments they could relive. It was about capturing the essence of their family, the love they shared, and the life they had built together. Every laugh line, every strand of hair caught in the sunlight - these nuances brought alive the magic in the mundane. This is what hiring a professional photographer brings to the table. This is why the Greabells, despite their initial reluctance, now look forward to our photography sessions. Sure, they still complain about finding the time that could be spent on other priorities. But beneath all that, they see a newfound appreciation for the art and the artist. And that, to me, is the most rewarding part of my job. The Greabells have taught me that sometimes, the most reluctant clients can turn out to be the most rewarding ones.

OK HEADSHOTS!! I SEE YOU!
&zwj;
The Lakeland Chapter of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority has adopted me, working together since 2018!
&nbsp;
Let&rsquo;s get right to the good stuff, throughout its 100 year history (est. 1922) the national and international collegiate sorority has been pioneers in service, philanthropy, and leadership! At a local level, this has also been my experience with these wonderful, and extremely impressive women.
&nbsp;
Recently, in November 2022 they celebrated their Centennial (and aptly dubbed it RHOvember.) Over the course of the month, and by the privilege of being friends with almost all the members, my Facebook timeline was FLOODED every day with pictures and videos of the SGRho Poodles in blue and gold having a blast together in sisterhood, volunteering, sealing each line with an Eee-YIP!
&nbsp;
I don&rsquo;t think my affection of this group of women can be any clearer.

Morgan and Amanda are two people who never would have met if it weren&rsquo;t for Amanda&rsquo;s meddling big sister who set them up on a &ldquo;come over to my house, Morgan is here&rdquo; meeting. (But can you really be meddling, if it&rsquo;s your little sisters dating life? Seems like more of a big sister right!)
&nbsp;
Luckily from that meeting and may dates later, Morgan and Amanda fell in love, and they&rsquo;ve decided to make it official.
&nbsp;
AND JUST LIKE THAT, Amanda +2 became Amanda +3!
&nbsp;
Ok ok, the +2 are fur-babies BUT THEY COUNT! In my neck of the woods, if the dogs don&rsquo;t like you, WE don&rsquo;t like you. But the dogs must&rsquo;ve fallen in love with Morgan too because (Spoiler alert?) he put a ring on it! 💍
&zwj;

Morgan + Amanda Engagement - Riverview, Florida

With 3 young children, Erin made our session feel effortless and so enjoyable! She not only took incredible posed photos, but sweet candid ones as well! You won’t find a more devoted and sweet person to capture your memories!

Gabby & Marco

I couldn’t have been happier with my photos if any one else took them. Erin was wonderful! So professional, kind, and creative. She went along with all of my ideas and had so many great ideas of her own. Erin made the day magical for me and made me feel so beautiful. The photos are memories that will last a lifetime. I would recommend her 1000 times over.

Tristin Staszak

Erin has taken our company’s production photos for the last three productions and she always gets fantastic shots for us to use for promotional purposes. She brings a great eye for theater and a kind approach to everything and we really appreciate her and her work!

Pedro Amaral

Erin is extremely professional and efficient. Before the shoot she comes with a plan already mapped out to make the most out of your time. She is patient and kind. Highly recommend and will continue to use her.

Tiara & Jon Ross

Erin captured our wedding day perfectly. We are so pleased with how our photos turned out.
She was responsive and professional throughout the entire process. She checked in with us in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding to ensure the timeline was perfect.
She made us feel so comfortable which reflects in the finished photos.

Briana Heimark Jones

My husband and I are not picture people. We don't remember to take them, and the task of posing for long shoots feels like an exhausting task. This doesn't happen when we work with Erin. She makes these sessions so painless, easy, and fun! We know that she will get amazing shots in a matter of minutes (before either of us turns into a pumpkin) and the results will be stunning. She's done our engagement, wedding, and now our maternity photos and we couldn't be happier with them. Working with Erin gives us such peace of mind knowing we'll be able to capture these special moments with total confidence and zero stress. ❤
