Moses | Family

Yesterday afternoon, I got to photograph the cutest little girl (again)!! During the summer I got to photograph Shea, Tyler, and Anslee. Well, they wanted some fresh shots for their Christmas card! I think this time around Anslee felt either more comfortable with my big black camera clicking and it helped that Tyler's parents came to help out and to get some solid family photos :). 

Thanks so much for making this session precious! 

Above: I just love how she would stand on her tippy toes :D 

Above: So precious!! I love finding random furniture :)

So beautiful :)

Thank you so much for asking me to do your photos! I hope you find some that will work splendidly for your Christmas card! And I hope yall are settling into your new home! 

Jennifer + Zane | Portraits

I met Jennifer at the Abilene Bridal Extravaganza back in January. She was also a fellow photographer at a booth! Anyway, she recently moved from Lubbock to Abilene and now has an cute office downtown! About two months ago, my computer totally flipped out on me...beeping at me, freezing, not working, the whole nine yards...to compound the frustration, this was during the last bit of the crazy wedding season. Her husband, Zane, basically nursed my baby (macbook) back to health and told me how to actually get it fixed. Amen to friends and AppleCare :). To show my great and genuine appreciation I offered a session :D. 

Enough chat, we did these this morning and had a blast! It's really nice photoing other photographers, very often they know what to do, how to move and what to avoid doing! (note: this rule does not apply to me! haha)

Above: This has such a Two Pair feel, right?? Tressie? 

Above: Great example of what to wear! Bright colors, fun textures (ruffles, buttons, pockets :) and then a great coordinating outfit for Zane :)

YAY, thank you friends! Hope you find some you like :D. 

PS. My computer is thanking you too :) 

Anna Beth + Samantha | Portraits

I met Anna Beth and Samantha yesterday for their portrait-roommate session....and you will soon find out they are amazing. These lovely ladies are sophomores at Abilene Christian University and are studying graphic design! (Once again fulfilling my belief that graphic designers are the bomb... period).

Have you ever heard of the theory that you are connected by 7 degrees of seperation? Or is it 3 degrees...anyways, whenever I meet people through interesting ways I contemplate how much truth that theory contains. For instance, I actually got married at Anna Beth's home/wedding venue! That's right, they live in a beautiful plantation! If anybody is getting married in the Austin area and you are wanting a dreamlike atmosphere, the best wedding coordinator, and just pure perfection--you need to check out, The Plantation House. I did and loved every bit of it. :) 

Thanks girls for asking me to help capture your friendship! I wish people did these sessions more frequently...I had a blast getting to know you both :D.

Enjoy!

PS---This pink chair, we found on the side of the road!! A true surprise :)

:D 

Don't they have the best hair? 

Above: Anna Beth, you look like a model!! 

Oh la la!

Above: I LOVE the lighting in this photo...the soft lighting on Anna Beth is just perfection! And how Samantha's hair is blowing!! Yessss haha

Below: Now, these next two photos were totally my crazy idea...I just thought the idea was so fun! Thanks for doing it for me :)

:)

You two, without a doubt, spectacular. Thank you so much for asking me to do this fun shoot!! 

Hope you had as much fun as I did...haha :)

ANGLE ME RIGHT!!

On October 27th, the Angle Me Right workshop was made a reality!! Hosted by EE Photography (me) and Two Pair Photography (Chad & Tressie) at the magnificent Hotel Zaza in downtown Dallas. Where we talked, discussed, explained, and finally put into practice the hobby, occupation and art of photography. We explored a variety of subjects ranging from lighting, to workflow, packaging, and branding...if they asked about it, we talked about it :). And "they" consists of our magnificent attendants, four models, and one smashing hair stylist. More about them in a second. First some photos! 

Tressie is responsible for these amazing visual delights :)

We had four amazing models, and we split into groups to divide and conquer! I shot with Shelbi and we focused on harsh natural light with a flush white wedding gown while working on getting some sun flare and soft yumminess. It was the perfect weather for a shoot! Thank you Jesus :)

On a lighter/funny note, during our first rotation, I had the skilled knowledge of directing our group to a plot of grass packed with doggie poo... I don't know how it's possible for 7 people to get poop on their shoes, but believe us, it can and did happen! 

Shelbi, you are stunning my dear.

And all of us!!

Below is everyone at the workshop--PLUS links to their sites.  Make sure to check out their stuff, they also have pics from the workshop. So talented! 

Back row, from left to right: Tressie Zellner, Stephanie, Leriam Gonzalas, October Smith, Danielle Lough, Ira, Lauren Newman, Ashley Wilkins, Micah Schmidt, Chad Zellner, and Erin Woolsey (me). 

Front row: Rachel Russo, Jessica Price, Paige Ogilvie, Shelbi, Kristina and Maloree. (and Chris taking the photo!!)

A huge thanks for our models, Stephanie, Ira, Khristina, Shelbi, Malloree and Chris! :D

brittany | new second shoot!

Yesterday, Brittany and I went and took photos of each other to update our blog! YAY. The weather was perfect, blue skies and easy breezes. Also, Brittany took a couple shots of Brad, me and Winston for our Christmas Card! More photos of those cards to come once they are all finished and looking beautiful. 

Brittany is my new second shooter for weddings next season! She helped me out at Jamie and Darren's wedding and I cannot wait to do more with her. She is a sophomore at Abilene Christian University and is studying photography/graphic design. During our mini-fun shoot, I hogged the camera most of the time, that's why there are more pics of her :) (plus, do not to forget, I am queen at being painfully awkward in front of the camera!!)

Let me know which one is your favorite!!

Above: My favorite is the middle one in this series...so beautiful Brittany!

Above: YAY!! Didn't she do a great job? I just updated my "about me" section to reflect then new pics :). My favorite one is on the bottom right.

Life has been so sweet recently, mainly because I am caught up on editing ALL WEDDINGS and SESSIONS!!!!!!! Like with these photos, I've been able to experiment, play around in photoshop, and make so many new fun textures! It's like photography's new all over again. 

My goal for the next two weeks, is to burn a million cd's, package, and mail everything. Then make an album every day AND stay up to date with my sessions as they come. YES or YES. Oh and pack. Did I mention we are moving????

It's official! We are moving to Ft. Worth!!!! More on that later :)
