Sidewalk Chalk

It's these simple everyday things that make me so thankful for having a passion for photography. One day, probably when they're older with kids of their own, I'll be able to look back and still be able to hear the sound of their giggles....

Brett & Amanda

Brett & Amanda,

Your wedding was--by far--the best wedding I have done to date. Not only was it beautiful, but it was absolutely seemless. My cheeks have never hurt so bad from smiling and my guts have never ached so bad from laughing. Your dad was a gem with the OSU sticker on his back, and your sister rocked the house with her rendition of Ice Ice Baby. Absolute fab time!

It's now 2 am--I have been processing these images for the last 5 hours and am having a hard time picking a favorite:

Hope you both enjoyed it as much as the rest of us. Have fun on your honeymoon!

New Senior!!

A quick sneek peek for Mom:

Sunday Afternoon

It really felt like spring yesterday (finally!). The grass is starting to look more green instead of dead, the flowers are starting to bloom, the skies were blue and the birds were loud enough to get on my nerves. It was abolutely perfect for an engagement shoot.

Amanda and Brett are both so stinkin' cute and an absolute blast to work with. They are the type of couple that make me love what I do.

A Favorite

This is one of my favorite wedding images I've done so far. This was taken last August.

Big Happenings

Lots of exciting stuff going on with Ericka Fields Photography--I like to refer to my business in the 3rd person...makes me feel much more important. Anyhoo, I have been working with a web designer (a very talented Casey Barrett) for a face on the Information Superhighway. It's a long process--which I was completely unaware of--and an extensive decision-making process (which we all know I am terrible at---don't even THINK about giving me a menu!). But so far, it's coming along. It's only a one page start-up for the time being; once I make my mind up it'll be much more clickable.

I'm really undecided about the logo and have been working on creating a new one. I did this one as part of a project in class in '06. It needs something, but I just don't know what. Be looking for something new and improved shortly.

I'm getting ready to start my busy season (wedding season) and am looking forward to the first wedding this year. Amanda and Brett--she's a cute-as-a-button bride-to-be and am excited about working with them both. This will be the first wedding that a pet (specifically their dog, Harley) is incorporated into, so I think that will add a level of fun to their big day! They will be shooting some engagement pictures with me once the weather breaks (which apparently isn't today!).

Can't wait!! Each shoot is like Christmas for me...except without all the After Eating Guilt and Uncle Bob snoring on the couch.

Best friends and babies.

Sometimes I sit back and am overwhelmed with how fast life passes me by. It seems like just yesterday the two of us were 15 and lifeguarding at the local swimming pool. Back then our only cares were what suit to wear, where we were going to rollerblade to that night, and keeping up with Reeva on Guiding Light.

Now we're parents and old--at least that's what we thought when someone talked about 30-somethings when we were 15. Our lives are no longer ran around soap operas or after-school jobs. We're now consumed with diaper rash, training bras, and sports schedules. We eat what's left off of their plates and put on make-up on our way to work.

This is my best friend's baby. He's 9 months of cuteness.

I'm sure you will see more of him soon. His mom likes to think of me as his personal photographer. Which is ok, as cute as he is...
