Happy 40th Anniversary! | Laguna Beach Family Portrait Photographer

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:34:53 +0000

In honor of their 40th wedding anniversary, their adult children surprised them with a family reunion portrait session. What a fun-loving, enjoyable family they were for me to photograph. It was like my own little reunion to see some of you again, and a pleasure to meet those of you for the first time who were vacationing from out of town. Thank you for the honor of including me in such a big celebration! Congratulations, again, on 40 years of marriage. What a huge accomplishment!

Enjoy this extra long sneak peek from your session!

The Honored Couple…

… Loved by all of their granddaughters!

Before…

… and after a big wave!

These three sisters were so fun and full of ideas. This last shot is one of their ideas they wanted to try… nice jump, ladies!

Thank you for a wonderful afternoon together! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation in California.

Announcing Mother’s Day Mini-Sessions | Pasadena Children’s Photographer

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:16:45 +0000

We are thrilled to announce the return of last year’s wildly popular mini-sessions! These limited-availability sessions will be offered on the Saturday before Mothers’ Day (May 8^th). Sessions will take place in a beautiful green park in the Pasadena area.

WHAT IS A MINI-SESSION?

Your mini-session fee of $300 includes 20 minutes of shooting time with Erin and a $175 product credit to be spent on images from the session. (Prices start at $45 for a 5×7 and $65 for an 8×10). A small selection of specialty items as well as individually-priced digital files will also be available just for mini-session clients. Two weeks after your mini-session, you’ll be shown a minimum of 10 images in a private online gallery where you can place your order in the comfort of your own home. {The mini-sessions are a great value as the full custom session fee is $250 and does not include product credit.}

FOR WHOM ARE MINI-SESSIONS IDEAL?

A mini-session is for you if you’ve recently had a session with Erin but would love new images to mark a milestone, but aren’t quite ready for a second full custom session yet. Or perhaps you’ve been meaning to try an Erin Sullivan Photography session but just haven’t gotten around to it. Or maybe you’re a friend of a client who wants to get a small taste of what it’s all about. Or maybe you just want a few gorgeous spring images of your family! While our mini-sessions cannot compare to the completely custom experience of a full session, they are perfect for any of these situations.

LIMITED AVAILABILITY:

These limited availability sessions were announced to current clients on Monday and the response has been phenomenal! There are still a few spots open. If you are interested, just email me or submit the contact form accessible from the menu above. If you’d like to be added to the mailing list, just let me know! The mini-session fee of $300 is required to hold your spot and, again, includes your session as well as $175 product credit. Preferred times on the schedule will be held in order of payment received.

NOTE: If you prefer the luxury of a full custom Erin Sullivan Photography session at your home or outdoor location of your choice, the calendar for the remainder of spring and summer 2010 is open and a few dates remain.

$75 GIFT CERTIFICATES: You will receive a $75 gift certificate to be used towards your session for every person you refer who books a session with Erin Sullivan Photography.

Enjoy some favorites in the park!

Beautiful Baby Girl | Orange County Newborn Photographer

Melissa was thrilled to find out that she would be having a little baby girl! Now that she has an adorable little boy and a perfect baby girl their family is complete. Melissa is an incredible photographer who I had the privilege of working with over the past three years photographing weddings. There is so much pressure photographing another photographer’s family; but she knows how that feels since she (and our other dear friend, Amanda) photographed my wedding in December 2008. You can be sure that she is an awesome photographer (and great person) since I asked her to shoot my wedding. Melissa and Kyle, I couldn’t be happier for you to have your precious baby girl. Landon, you will be an incredible big brother. Thank you for allowing be to be a part of your family journey. It was truly an honor.

Melissa, you are gorgeous in this image below! I hope I can look as good as you only 10 days after having a baby!

Congrats again, Melissa and Kyle… you are wonderful parents and wish you all the best!

Twitter | Pasadena Family Photographer

It took me a long time to get to this point. I heard about Twitter several years ago from some other photographer friends, but I was a hard one to convince. I am fairly private with my personal life, so the idea of putting my thoughts and tweets online for anyone and everyone to see just felt so odd to me. But, I know it has become a really important aspect of business. After months of thinking to myself, “I really need to get a Twitter account for my business,” I finally did it! There is a lot of pressure to think of something creative or funny for your first tweet so I decided to take the pressure off and just start already. You can check out my recent tweets in the sidebar on the left or go directly to my Twitter account. Hope to meet you in the Twitter world soon!

Memory Lane | Pasadena Family Photographer

I am working on a project that has led me on a little walk down memory lane. I love looking back remembering each newborn, child, and family that I have had the privilege of photographing over the years. Here is a screen shot of part of my project in the works. Can’t wait to share it all with you soon. Enjoy this little tid-bit.
