Erin is just beautiful. ‘Nuf said. Well, I always have more to say so… here’s me saying more.
Since the first time I met Erin about a year ago, I had always secretly thought how cool it would be to photograph her. She has the most beautiful blue eyes and an incredibly unique look that is just stunning. Then out of the blue a few weeks ago, I get this text message from her saying how she was thinking about getting into modeling and wanted, you guessed it, little ol’ me to help her get some shots for her portfolio! I instantly said “of course” and, after waiting for the cold weather to take a break here in Austin, we finally were able to get together today to play!
Yes, you read that right, we did the shoot today and I’m already bloggin’ about it. That should tell you just how excited I was to review the images. And reviewing turned to editing which turned to “OMG! I have to share some of these with the world RIGHT NOW.”
Can I just say how fantastic Erin was to work with? Being the “aspiring” fashion photographer I am, I keep a nerdy notebook filled with my collection of ripped out pages from magazines to inspire me. Well, Erin and I reviewed them and the next thing you know, she was bustin’ out the poses like nobody’s business. I was so impressed! We pretty much just trekked around the UT (University of Texas) area, roaming the gritty back alleyways and hallways of the campus itself allowing ourselves to just get inspired by all the different backgrounds.
Anyway, below are some of the photographs from the shoot that I love. I want to wish Erin all the best of luck in her new modeling career. You’re beautiful, Erin, especially inside where it really counts. :)

Rita was so much fun to work with! Since I was fairly new to photoshoots, she let me know how to carry myself and pose for the most aesthetic photos. She brought so much vision herself that it made my job truly easy. Even with other professional photographers, I was never so happy with my photos and had so many great ones as with Rita. Everyone I’ve showed them to, some with very critical eyes, professed how much they liked them and how great she is with natural light. I am deeply grateful for the chance to work with her.
