Goodbye Blogger...at least for now!

2011-06-23T14:50:00.001-07:00

Wow. It's been forever since I've posted here (almost 7 months) and I have only posted half a dozen times in the last year. Yikes! Please don't think my lack of blogging means that I'm not working (because I certainly am!), but blogging has proven to - yet again - fall to the back burner in my world of maintaining a presence on the web.

Instead of spending hours putting together new blog posts, I have redirected some of this "spare" time to my little family. I mean, how can you say "no" to these three fabulous faces? :)

{my husband and our two beautiful kiddos}

During my working hours, I have been diligently focusing my time on what matters most: shooting awesome photographs and providing my clients with top-notch personal service, the reason people hire me in the first place!

With all of that said, I hope you aren't too disappointed to hear that I will no longer be updating anything here (at least for now) but I will keep my blog online so that people can continue to access all of the weddings and portraits that I have featured over the years. (However, the link to this blog has been removed from my website, as of today.)

If you're a huge fan of blogging, you might be excited to hear that I am blogging in another location on a weekly basis! In March of this year, I was voted in as the newest member of the elite group of wedding photographers over at My Portland Photographer! I post a photo every week on this collaborative blog. You can see all of my posts on My Portland Photographer as well as the work of 19 other fabulous Portland-area wedding photographers. Check it out!

Remember, I can always be found in these places, too!

Waiting for Baby...

2010-11-30T14:03:00.000-08:00

I am excited to say that my husband and I are expecting the arrival of our second baby - a girl! - any day now, so I expect to be out of the office in early December while we welcome her into our lives and settle into a new routine at home. :)

If you interested in Portrait Photography, I am sorry to say that I'm not accepting new clients until next Spring. I am, however, compiling a list of clients who are interested in being contacted next Spring once I get back to a normal schedule. If you are interested in having your name on this list, please let me know! If, however, you aren't able to wait and need a photographer sooner, please e-mail me and I can send you a list of Portland-area photographers who can help you sooner than I am able to at this time. I am more than happy to send you some names.

If you interested in Wedding Photography, I am currently booking Summer 2011 and Fall 2011 weddings. Please e-mail me with your wedding date and location, as well as any other details you think I should know. I will get back to you with my availability and my price list shortly.

Please note that I will be doing my best to get back to new calls and e-mails every 3 days or so during the first half of December. Even though I am taking some time off over the next few months, I am available via phone and e-mail, just on a slightly more sporadic schedule - especially through these first few weeks and over the holidays.

Thank you in advance for your patience. :)

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Erin

Holiday Order Deadline!

2010-11-09T16:06:00.000-08:00

Hello!

I wanted to remind all of my 2010 clients that the deadline for holiday print orders is approaching quickly! The deadline is Sunday, November 28th (Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend). If you are hoping to order any professional photographs for holiday gifts this year, you must have your orders submitted and paid in full by the end of Thanksgiving weekend.

Since we are expecting the arrival of our baby girl in early December, I cannot guarantee that any orders submitted after Sunday, November 28th will be delivered before the end of the year. After giving birth, I will be taking several months away from a normal working schedule, but will still be available when you have questions or want to submit orders. I plan on checking voice mail and e-mail every 3 days or so during the first weeks as we settle into a new routine as a family of four, so my response time will be a bit delayed compared to normal.

Thank you in advance for your patience. I really appreciate your understanding!

You can access your gallery via these links:

Please feel welcome to contact me if you have any questions at all.

Thank you!

Alyson & Levi's Wedding Featured at 100 Layer Cake!

2010-08-25T11:22:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of photographing Alyson & Levi's beautiful wedding at Bridal Veil Lakes on July 9th this year. The day was simply gorgeous! Today, I have the pleasure of announcing that Alyson & Levi's wedding is featured on the 100 Layer Cake wedding blog! To view their beautiful wedding on the 100 Layer Cake blog, click here.

My Apologies!

2010-07-12T18:32:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to post a quick apology to those of you who have been wondering why I haven't been posting many photos lately. Life has been busy, to say the least! Not only am I in the middle of wedding season -- which means busy, busy, busy -- but, I must admit, my priorities in terms of blogging have definitely shifted since becoming a mom. I have always deeply valued a solid work-life balance, and I just haven't been able to justify the many hours of time I used to spend on my blog pre-motherhood. I am focusing just as much time (if not more) on providing the very best service to my clients before, during, and after their weddings, but I have simply decided to drop regular blogging off of my to-do list because it was a constant nagging task that I just didn't have the time for without taking away from more important things in my life. I mean, how can you say no to these two adorable people? ;)

I hope that you all understand and know that I will still occasionally post news and updates here, so please don't forget check back every once-in-awhile. :)

Cheers & Happy Summer!

Best,
Erin

Holly and Craig

2010-04-16T14:37:00.000-07:00

One of the fun parts about having an engagement session with a wedding couple is that I get a chance to know them a bit more before their wedding, which makes me showing up on your wedding day a little bit more like seeing an old friend.

After a few weeks of solid rain, Holly & Craig and I finally made it out into the beautiful spring weather for their engagement session at Washington Park & The Oregon Zoo. We even visited the very spot where they got engaged. It was really an honor to get this glimpse into their relationship and I'm super excited to be photographing their wedding this year! :)

Here are a few of my favorites of Holly & Craig: all smiling, happy, and relaxed.

Best,
Erin

2010-04-09T16:39:00.000-07:00

As of today, I am officially booking 2011 weddings! I e-mailed everyone on my wait list this afternoon (and will give everyone who has been patiently waiting the last few months at least two weeks to make their decisions)...but, after that, their dates will be released for any newcomers! If you're getting married in 2011 and haven't contacted me for more information yet, please do!

I look forward to hearing from you. :)

My Grandfather.

2010-02-22T10:10:00.000-08:00

My grandfather passed away early on Saturday morning. He was 92 years old. His health had been deteriorating. It was his time. But that doesn’t make it any easier. The waves of relief that his passing was peaceful and comfortable have been followed by waves of deep grief throughout the family. The tight circle of love that had surrounded my grandfather is now searching for a new center. We have huddled in a bit closer, holding each other for support and love through this trying time. We will move on and be okay. My grandfather was a good, good man and he loved us all with a pure heart. He will be greatly missed. His funeral will be tomorrow. I will be out of the office through the end of the month to spend time with family and help, in whatever way I can, sew together the pieces that have been left in the wake of his departure.

Since I tend to express myself with photographs, I felt it right to share these 3 photos from my Grandpa's 90th Birthday celebration back in 2007.

I got this photo of Grandpa leaving at the end of his birthday party.

I then turned the camera around and got a photo of our family -- waving goodbye with so much love.

We'll miss you, Grandpa.

Love to you and your families,

Erin

Details...

2010-02-12T13:58:00.001-08:00

I always get shots of the cake, flowers, table settings, etc. at a wedding, but rarely do the shots of those wedding-day details end up being some of my favorites. I usually lean towards the emotional and beautiful shots of people (and not things), because I consider my ability to capture the spirit of a person and the feeling of the wedding day to be my biggest strength. Anyway, this shot (taken at Jaina & Geoff's wedding last fall) is one of my favorite "detail" shots. Jaina & Geoff were married in a beautiful barn, where this photo was taken. I didn't do a thing to set this up, I just lucked out that the J & G atop these cupcakes were perfectly framed and I exposed the shot to emphasize the backlighting provided by the tiny windows behind them.

I just love this...and it definitely makes me want a cupcake. :)

Happy Friday!
Erin

Mia and Owen

2010-01-28T17:01:00.001-08:00

I had the pleasure of photographing Mia & Owen shortly after their engagement last September. It was cloudy fall day at at George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego, Oregon.

Here are a few of my favorites.

My New Logo!

2010-01-12T12:37:00.000-08:00

My new circular logo! I've wanted to have a circular logo for years...and this morning I finally felt the inspiration to design it! I love the simplicity of it. I hope you all like it, too!

Have a great week!
Erin

Happy New Year from your favorite "Industry Expert!" :)

2010-01-07T16:09:00.000-08:00

I hope you all had a wonderful December filled with fun, celebration, family, and friends! I know I certainly enjoyed taking the month off, but I am happy to be back at it and settling back into a routine now that the holidays are behind us!

To start the new year off with some fun news, I want to officially announce that I am featured in the current issue of Portland Bride & Groom Magazine! You may all remember when Kate & Jimmy's wedding was featured last fall, but this time I was intereviewed as an "industry expert" and I even have a photograph of me (taken by Matthew D'Annunzio) featured in the article! Check it out:

You can view more here, on my website.

I also want to give a big thank you to the FABULOUS Nicole Wagner. She generously did my makeup for this photo shoot. (I wish they had chosen a close-up shot so you can see how great my makeup looked!) Anyway, I have seen Nicole do makeup at many weddings, but was honored to have her do MY makeup for this shoot. If you're looking for someone to do makeup at your wedding, Nicole is a sure bet and I highly recommend her! :)

2010 is already shaping up to be an exciting year and I can't wait to share it with all of you. :)

Best,
Erin

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

2009-12-15T21:12:00.000-08:00

Hello!

I will be taking some time off through the end of the year to spend traveling, celebrating the holidays with family, and snuggling with my fabulous little man.

May this holiday season be full of love, peace, and happiness for each and every one of you. Have fun celebrating and bringing in the new year. I have high hopes for 2010. I can already tell it's going to be pretty incredible!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Erin

The Rings

2009-12-09T19:49:00.001-08:00

This week's photo is from from Emily & Alex's wedding at Catlin Gabel School on August 16, 2009. Of all of the beautiful photographs that I get of a couple on their wedding day, it is images like these that often end up being some of my favorites. In this unexpected shot, Emily and Alex were walking from the ceremony to the reception when they simultaneously flashed me their rings. I managed to get this one image in the split second they both had their hands in the air. I love it because it gives you a glimpse into who Emily and Alex are - fun, loving, and warm people - and because, unlike traditional "rings" shots, the focus isn't on the material part of their marriage, but rather on the foundation of the marriage - Emily & Alex - and how happy the two of them were on their wedding day.

Have a great week!
Erin

Blake

2009-12-01T13:52:00.001-08:00

Blake, the adorable little 6-month-old in this photo, was a dream to work with. He was an incredibly happy baby and he loved his mommy. I got so many gorgeous photos of him looking at her with complete adoration. This shot above of him playing with her hair is just stunning -- and my absolute favorite of the entire shoot. I love the way they are both delicately touching each other. I was so lucky to catch this moment.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Erin :)

New Format for My Blog

2009-11-18T12:21:00.000-08:00

Hello!

Thank you everyone for all of your input about the proposed change to the way I post photos to my blog & Facebook. I appreciate your feedback, and I think the most important message I got from all of you is that you want to see my work more frequently. I am going to take this to heart, and will make a point of posting at least one photo per week. I'm going to try to provide a bit more background for the photos I post, too. I will also post the occasional complete wedding, but those won't be quite as frequent. I really appreciate the time you all took to share your thoughts with me. I'm happy to know that I am able to keep you all happy while maintaining a more manageable workload on my end, too. Thank you!

This week's photo is from from Lisa & Justin's wedding at Skamania Lodge on August 21, 2009. It was a beautiful, sunny day up at the lodge, but the position of the sun wasn't going to let me get a shot where you could see their faces lit just perfectly and the beautiful hills at the same time. So, I had Lisa & Justin stand against the windows of the hotel which were reflecting the landscape beautifully. This allowed me to get a beautiful shot of Lisa & Justin (not squinting in the sun) and the view and the hotel all in one shot. Perfect. This is one of the shots. They look so serious - yet calm - in this photo, even though they were just minutes from walking down the aisle. I like that.

Enjoy!
Erin

Blog Format Change? I would love your input!

2009-11-11T14:11:00.001-08:00

Hi Friends, Family & Fans!

I have a question for all of you. Please share your opinion! I am contemplating a change in the way I post photos to my blog & Facebook. For the past 3 years, I have posted a collection of images (roughly 50) from each and every wedding I have photographed. As you can imagine, this is quite a task - and it has recently resulted in me going months without a new photo post on my blog. (I know I have quite a few loyal blog followers, so these long windows of time with nothing new drives me crazy because I want to show you all new work!) So, I'm considering scratching the huge posts, and doing random "singles" (favorites from recent weddings and portrait sessions posted one at a time).

I might even give you a little background for the photo every once and awhile - so you know a bit more about what went into the image. If I do make this change, it means I can post more often (at least once a week, I hope), but my posts won't be quite as comprehensive.

So, my question to you: Are short posts just as satisfying? Or will you all miss the complete weddings? Please share your thoughts!

Thanks, Erin :)

In the meantime, enjoy these last days of summer!

Best,
Erin

The Best Testimonial

2009-06-04T15:18:00.001-07:00

I'm currently working on adding some more recent testimonials to the "Kind Words" section of my site and I'm going through some letters and e-mails from last season. I haven't read this letter again since I received it last summer, and I felt just as wonderful this time as I did when I read it nearly a year ago. I won't be able to post the entire letter in my "Kind Words" page, but I figured I'd post it here because it's just the best letter ever! :)

Thank you, Erin & Jeremy. :)

July 20, 2008

Dear Erin,

Oh my goodness! Where do I start…how do I even begin to thank you for your incredible service on our wedding day?! You are amazing and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your awesome photos and professional service. We’ve heard from numerous guests after the wedding what a great photographer we had…and people hadn’t even seen the photos yet! That’s just a testament to your calm, kind and generous nature. You kept us all on track and relaxed through the process and there is no possible way I could have found a photographer any more suited to me and Jeremy to capture our wedding day the way we intended.

Erin, I feel like you are a dear old friend who was simply there to celebrate with us, support us and to share in our day versus just another service person who we hired for the day. We had so much fun with you, laughed with you and you were truly a trooper to put up with us and some of our wild friends that evening. You know I was the cynical bride through this process and didn’t really believe in the fairytale of “the perfect wedding,” but I was quickly proven wrong that day. It just couldn’t have possibly been any better and you were an important part of completing, and even more importantly capturing that perfect day for us to enjoy and reflect on throughout our marriage.

I truly believe that photography is probably the most important investment for your wedding day. Erin, no matter the expense…your outstanding service, quality, patience and attentiveness to capturing every detail in such a unique way is without a doubt priceless. Your incredible talent is unparalleled. Our photos are amazing, every single one of them! We couldn’t possibly be happier with your work. Once of the best parts about reviewing the photos was as we looked through all of them we said, “Where was Erin? I didn’t realize she was even around when that happened. I’m so glad she caught that moment.” You truly got every amazing moment of the day in such a relaxed and unique style and seemed to capture it all from the perspective of our guests. I look forward to working with you again in years to come as we plan to start our family and would love to have some portraits done with you.

I really wish I had a more eloquent way and more articulate words to share with you our great appreciation. You are wonderful and will without question be at the top of my list to refer to any bride (or anyone!) I come across anywhere. Thank you again and again and again. Good luck to you and I wish you great continued success for your business and beyond.

Sincerely,
Erin Hovey

That makes my job so much more special than it already is!

Erin :)

My First "Real Wedding" :)

2009-06-02T23:00:00.001-07:00

I am happy to officially announce that my photographs are featured in a "Real Wedding" in the Summer 2009 issue of Portland Monthly's Bride & Groom magazine! Kate & Jimmy's wedding was this last August and they were a dream to work with -- which makes the fact that their wedding is featured that much sweeter. :) I am really proud that the editors at Portland Monthly chose my images to be included in the issue. Check the spread out below.

I was happy that this wedding also happened to feature a bunch of my favorite wedding vendors! To name a few:

The Venue: The Portland Classical Chinese Gardens
The Florist: Blüm, Design in Flowers
The Caterer: Art of Catering
The "Cake": Saint Cupcake

All of those detail shots wouldn't be nearly as beautiful if it weren't for all of their fabulous work, too! :)

Thanks everyone,
Erin

Neha and Jeff...

2009-05-13T13:39:00.000-07:00

...are getting married on Saturday, July 25, 2009!

We shot their Engagement Portraits on April 18, 2009
in Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Summer is almost here!

2009-04-19T14:42:00.001-07:00

Well, it's been a fun few months at home with our little boy, Pierce. I love being a mom and watching our little guy grow and change every day. It's just incredible! Pierce just turned 3 months old on Friday and is as adorable as ever. :)

I am, however, officially back at it. I've got babysitters lined up and the motivation to get back to work. Even though the time off was nice, I really missed working. I'm officially back to shooting portraits in May (call or e-mail to book a session!) and I'll be shooting weddings again in June. I had my first photo shoot of the year yesterday -- an engagement session in Cannon Beach with Neha and Jeff who are getting married this July. We had such a fun time and we lucked out with some seriously beautiful weather! I'll be posting more photos from our session sometime in the next couple of weeks, but here is a quick favorite. :)

In the meantime, if you're thinking of getting portraits of your little ones, wanting a fun and casual family portrait, or looking to get some engagement photos taken, shoot me an e-mail or give me a call and we'll get something on the calendar! Also, if you're looking to book me for your 2009 wedding, I still have a few openings!

To all of my 2009 couples, I'm looking forward to working all of you this year and we'll be seeing each other again before you know it. :)

Best Wishes and Happy Spring!
Erin

Birth Annoucement!

2009-02-07T21:05:00.001-08:00

Here is the birth announcement that Grahm and I sent out for our adorable little Pierce. :)

We had our baby boy!

2009-01-19T00:06:00.001-08:00

I'm happy to say that I just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on January 17th! As you can imagine, I'll be a bit busy settling into a routine over the next week or two, so I'll be slower to respond to e-mails and calls through the end of January. I'll do my best to get back to you within 2-3 days through the end of the month, but hope to be back to a quicker response time come February.

My 2009 summer schedule still has some openings and I'll get back to you with my availability and detailed pricing as soon as I can. (Please note: Through the rest of the winter and spring, I will be meeting with clients and booking weddings and portrait sessions for the summer months. However, I will not be actually photographing any weddings or scheduling any portrait sessions between now and May 2nd, 2009. For example, if you're getting married in April, I'll have to recommend a handful of other talented photographers who will be able to help you!)

Best Wishes,
Erin

Happy Holidays...New Galleries!!

2008-12-24T11:16:00.000-08:00

I'll be taking a few days off for the holidays, but I wanted to let you know that I posted new 2008 wedding galleries to my site today. I've been working hard this week (being snowed in definitely helped!) and I'm happy to announce that I have 5 new wedding galleries (all from fabulous 2008 weddings) now posted to my site. To check them out, please visit

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Looking forward to a fabulous 2009...

Portland Monthly's Bride & Groom

2008-11-26T13:21:00.000-08:00

The most recent issue of Portland Monthly's Bride & Groom magazine is now on the stands and I'm proud to be advertising in the magazine again. Keep your eye out for it! :)

Big News!

2008-10-30T17:30:00.000-07:00

What a fabulous year! I know, I know...it's only October, but I have officially wrapped up all of my 2008 weddings. I feel lucky to have worked with all of the 25 couples whose weddings I photographed this year and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for trusting me with documenting such an important day in your lives.

As many of you know, my husband and I are expecting a baby (our first!) on January 24th. Here is one of our ultrasound pictures from back in September when we found out we were having a boy!

Since I'm a bit slower to get around these days, I'll be taking it easy this upcoming winter. I'm shooting a handful of portrait sessions through the end of November, but after that I'll be dedicating the rest of the year to booking '09 weddings (I will be shooting again in May), designing albums, updating website galleries, preparing taxes, and just generally getting my ducks in a row before it's time to take a couple of months off to be a mom come January.

I'll try to keep up with portrait posts here and there. They not be as frequent as some of you may hope for, but just remember, my blog activity will pick up again next year as I'm looking forward to another wonderful season in 2009!

I'll be sure to let you all know when we welcome our little guy in January! And, of course, there will be pictures. :)

Best wishes,
Erin

If you happen to be a loyal blog follower of mine, you know that I rarely post anything that isn't work-related on here. However, I thought this was worth stepping outside of those boundaries... not only is this important, but also entertaining. :)

(Note: Watch the whole thing -- but don't hit play if your kids are watching because there are bad words!)

That's me with Ali. If she looks familiar, that's because I photographed Ali & Joe's wedding on April 5th this year. David is Ali's brother and I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of working with the Roos family two times in one year!
