Look! They're Big!

It has taken me forever, but check it out! I am figuring out how to put pictures up so that they are BIG!

I seriously had a really good time taking pictures with Shauna last week. We had some great models that were very patient as I tried to figure out some new ways of focusing and shooting. So, thanks again, Edgar! I hope that the trip to Barcelona was fantastic!

And could this guy get any cuter? He was busy doing some serious exploring and did not want the lady with the camera to get in his way. He had work to do! I wish Annika had been there; I think they would have really hit it off. I've seen this look coming from her quite a few times.

Birthday and BIZ CLASS

Today's my birthday and I am now 24 years old! I am closing in on a quarter of a century! I am leaving like right now to go hang out with my wonderful friends, but I wanted to post a couple of my favorite pictures from my CRASHcourse with Shauna the other day. I had an awesome time -- not only is Shauna a blast to hang out with, but I learned a ton about photography and business and making it all work. Plus, we had some great models!

So, Erica Holland Photography is here for real! Get ready for some awesome deals and a lot of great photography. I am really going to work on updating this blog much more often, so keep checking back. If nothing else, I should have lots of pictures of Annika to post, and she is a good lookin' kid!

Baby Blues

I really should be patient and just wait until I have more pictures edited to post, but I just loved these pictures and wanted Monica to be able to see them. I babysat Ryan today (if you can even call it that) and we took a few pictures while we were playing. Annika is so much happier when she has a friend around; Monica was really just doing me a favor by letting us hang out with Ryan. More to come later!

Ryan's One!

Ryan turned one in February, but we were not with her in Arizona to celebrate. Lucky for us, they are back in Germany now and we can party all the time! Annika is certainly happy to have her friend back and they both get very excited to see each other. The weather has finally been nice the last couple of days and so we headed out to get some one year pictures. I love seeing Ryan standing -- she is getting to be such a big girl! 

I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home

I've been waiting for months and months to be able to take pictures of my little girl and her Daddy. Annika loves having her Dad home, and I love seeing them together. 

Beautiful Bella

It is easy to take pictures with a subject as cute as this one! Isabella was wide awake almost the whole time, but considering how pretty her eyes are, it is probably a good thing. I don't remember Annika ever being so alert at that age -- Bella just kept looking around with those big beautiful eyes, checking everything out. Annika was Isabella's age when Brad left; it was crazy to see how much she has changed since then. Brad will be home for R&R in less than two weeks and will have the chance to get to know his daughter again. We can't wait!
