Trenton

Back in June I photographed a little guy named Trenton. We had so much fun, especially when his grandma broke out in song and say "I'm too sexy".....this was only to get him to smile and it worked!!! Thanks Trenton, I had a great time!!!

Summer

Okay, so I said I was going to post photos and I didn't...SORRY!!! I'm now ready to post and catch you up on my summer.

So Far Behind...

OMG, it has been forever since my last post. I'm still here but had so much going on in my life. I hope to get some new postings up by tomorrow. Peace, Love & Photos- Erika

Jennifer & Matt's Engagement Session

Back in June, I traveled to Perrysburg to shoot Jennifer & Matt's engagement pictures. The drive was well worth it because the location was absolutely beautiful!!!

I had so much fun with Jennifer & Matt...even though he refused to smile :). I can't wait until their September wedding!

Thanks Jennifer & Matt! See you soon!

Mike & Mary's 40th Wedding Anniversary

Mike and Mary recently celebrated 40 years of marriage!!! It was nice to see all the kids there and to see how much the family has grown.

As a child I spent most of my time at the Nieto's casa. I first became friends with their daughter, Rebecca, because my brother, Jerald, was good friends with her brother, Mike. So my brother and I basically lived at their house.

I never wanted to go home because I always had a good time at their house. We would spend hours and hours in the pool or playing on the swing set....and then there was "Barbies". This was not my favorite because Becca always had to have the best looking Barbies and I got the ugly looking ones. Her Barbie had to be the "President of the United States." Oh, and my Barbie was their maid...haha!!! I like to bring that up from time to time.

Anyways, THANK YOU for all the wonderful memories and Congratulations to a BEAUTIFUL couple and family!!!!

Stacy & Troy's Wedding

I had so much fun photographing Stacy & Troy's wedding! They had such a beautiful day and was surrounded by so many family & friends. Congratulations and best wishes!

:::Kylee The Graduate:::

Yay, she did it!!! I spent this past weekend in Bucyrus for my niece's HS graduation.

I can't believe my little KyKy is all grown up. I remember the day my sister brought her home from the hospital, I was almost eleven years old and I was soooo EXCITED to have a little niece (mainly just to dress up...lol!!)

She has given me so many wonderful memories that I don't even know where to start. I do know that I'm going to miss doing her hair and make-up for homecoming and prom. I won't miss the blow ups when things didn't go her way (you're so lucky I didn't hit you with the brush....hahaha!!) but no matter what I'll always be there for her.

I'll end this blog by saying what my brother, Jerald, said to me when I graudated high school...

"Dream Big & Dare to Fail!"

Love you Kylee!! I'm so proud of the young lady you have become and can't wait to see what the future holds for you!!

Love, Aunt Erika

Katie & Nate's Engagement Session

I've known Katie and Nate for a long time (we all attended PEVS) and growing up in a small town...well, you just about know everyone.

I was so surprised & excited when Katie called to book me for her photographer. They hadn't told many people about the engagement so this was news to me and I had to keep it a secret...haha! Anyways, these two are a perfect match and I had so much fun shooting this session.

I'm looking forward to the wedding and wish you two the best!

Jamy & Addison

Look at these pretty girls!! I had so much fun with Jamy & Addison. I can't believe how much they have grown since I started taking their pictures. I do believe baby Addison was only 10-11 days old and look at her now.

Check out Jamy doing the "Superman" on the swing. She's so much fun and FULL OF ENERGY! Baby Addison was very quiet. She was investigating the grass for the first time...she LOVED it!!

Thank you for letting me capture your day!!

Baby Dexter

I was so excited when Dexter's mommy emailed me wanting to schedule Dexter's first photo shoot!! Baby Dexter was born at 28 weeks and is truly a "MIRCLE BABY." He has grown so much and is very alert!!!....he's so sweet & precious!!! Congratulations Andy & Sarah!!!

I had fun shooting Dexter's first photo shoot and THANK mom & dad for letting me capture his precious little life!! I look forward to the family photo shoot today!
