Funky Princess

I couldn't help but post this on the blog after tossing it together tonight. This is my funky princess during a little trip to the park today.

Golden Beach Light

I had a blast photographing the delightful Miss M and her sister Miss L and their parents this afternoon. We caught the pretty beach light before it disappears and is replaced with much needed rain. Here's just a taste...

Grandkids Galore

A: Here are a few of the shots from this afternoon. I have a lot more to go through, so thanks for being patient. I will be in touch this weekend!

L & J, thanks so much for trusting me to get some shots of you and Mr. P. It was an adventure, but after all was said and done, I got some great shots. Here are a few sneak peeks. Now I am off to bed to sleep... hard. :)

Holy spunk, Batman!

I figured I was in a for a mellow hour photographing Miss E... Chatting with her, posing her and getting some pretty portraits. Little did I know that this girl is Spunk with a capital S. And oh, the faces! I am going to have to spend some time going through the shots and pulling my favorite mugs for her mom. I also plan to lobby for the job of doing her headshots when she decides to make a run at Hollywood.

More Beauties

I have had such a great time recently. Not only have I had a full plate with lots of sessions, but the families I get to shoot are stinkin' gorgeous. It is so much fun to capture grins and moments like these.

Fun at the Butterfly Groves

Here's a sneak peek for some friends who spent some time with me (and MANY others!) at the butterfly groves on Saturday. I'm working my way through the rest and will have them all up in a gallery soon.

It's Up!

Annnnnnd... We're live! It's official. The www.erinclausenphotography.com site is up and running. I'll be back to blog some fun and silly stuff, and to post some sneak peaks at upcoming sessions, but for a little bit my focus will be on making sure the site is up to snuff. Let me know what you think. :)

Luxe Rustic

Okay. How could you NOT love these precious pics? And Amy: I promise that you will have a lot to weed through when I finally get everything up in your gallery. A lot.

Sweet Sibs

Here are adorable B and his yummy sister E... We had fun in the trees this morning. Carrie: I've got more for you (including the kids together!) and I'll be in touch very soon. :)

A Few More Shots from the Files

Here are another few shots I pulled from the files for the purposes of sharing on the blog. Also, the official http://www.erinclausenphotography.com/ web site (not to be confused with this more informal blog) is entering the final stages of development and is very close to launching. (!) I look forward to debuting it and including many more of the fun images I've enjoyed capturing.

New Promotional Piece

I am printing up this collage (it will print as a 5x7 card) as a promotional piece and thought it deserved a mention on the blog...

Experiment

This was a fun little experiment I did recently with C, M & B. I crack up every time I look at it.

More Fun Friends

I'm spending a good part of my time lately organizing files and digging out some of my favorite recent family shoots to share here on the blog. Up for your perusal this time: J and S and their rockin' parents... a pretty darn photogenic family.

Gorgeous afternoon, gorgeous family

As expected, I had a great time out shooting with some very good friends today. L & J and their parents were fabulous subjects, so I had to post a few of my faves.

The Girl

We got this great hand-me-down dress from some friends, and when I realized that it matched the frock on her new doll, well... Wouldn't you take pictures?

The Noah

He calls himself The Noah, and we can't resist his charm. Here are a few recent favorites.

Collage

In the interest of getting a jump on Christmas gifts, I dragged the Clausen children into the backyard one afternoon this week. The idea was to get a shot -- one shot-- worthy of framing for the grandparents. As it so often goes with my own children, the "money shot" was elusive. When all was said and done, I ended up with this collage... and I believe that it will go up on my own wall.
