Circa 1983

Yes, this actually is me at age three!  When my parents came across this photo a while ago and gave it to me, I immediately knew that I had to share it on the blog. I guess my interest in photography dates back much further than I can remember.  In this photo I am shooting with my Fisher Price camera in my childhood bedroom.  Take note of 1980s icons: Strawberry Shortcake, Lite-Brite, Cooties Game, Golden books, and Mr. Potato Head all in one photo!  As I have grown up some things have stayed the same, like my love of photography and being behind the camera.  One thing that has changed since this photo  is my opinion that red clothing clashes with red hair (and I avoid wearing it)-- although many of my friends and family members disagree.  I love looking at this photo and can't help but smile when I see it.  Thanks for sharing a peek into my childhood, and not judging me for wearing red as a child.

The Mother's Day Mini-Sessions were a big success!  I am just posting a quick sneak peak from a Mini-Session on Saturday.  I photographed these three adventurous cuties  last summer and was so excited to see them again and see how much they've grown.  I love it when I get to reconnect with families and capture moments in their lives as the children grow and change.  It was a real treat to see these three (and their mom) again!

Coming Soon! | Pasadena Children's Photographer

I am so excited to announce that my new, updated website will be coming soon!  Although this blog style and layout is relatively new for Erin Sullivan Photography, I have not updated my website in over two years!  After a while I decided to take down my old website because it felt so outdated and not a true reflection of my style and work.  A lot of exciting changes have taken place in my business during the past two years and I have so many newborn, children, and family sessions to share through my online portfolio.  Stay tuned for the big announcement of the website launch! You will be able to view it here www.ErinSullivanPhoto.com. Ooooh, I can hardly wait!

Announcing Mother's Day Mini-Sessions | Pasadena Children's Photographer

We are thrilled to announce the return of last year's wildly popular mini-sessions!  These limited-availability sessions will be offered on the Saturday before Mothers’ Day (May 8th).  Sessions will take place in a beautiful green park in the Pasadena area. WHAT IS A MINI-SESSION?

Your mini-session fee of $300 includes 20 minutes of shooting time with Erin and a $175 product credit to be spent on images from the session. (Prices start at $45 for a 5x7 and $65 for an 8x10). A small selection of specialty items as well as individually-priced digital files will also be available just for mini-session clients. Two weeks after your mini-session, you'll be shown a minimum of 10 images in a private online gallery where you can place your order in the comfort of your own home.  {The mini-sessions are a great value as the full custom session fee is $250 and does not include product credit.}

FOR WHOM ARE  MINI-SESSIONS IDEAL?

A mini-session is for you if you've recently had a session with Erin but would love new images to mark a milestone, but aren't quite ready for a second full custom session yet. Or perhaps you've been meaning to try an Erin Sullivan Photography session but just haven't gotten around to it. Or maybe you're a friend of a client who wants to get a small taste of what it's all about. Or maybe you just want a few gorgeous spring images of your family! While our mini-sessions cannot compare to the completely custom experience of a full session, they are perfect for any of these situations.

LIMITED AVAILABILITY:

These limited availability sessions were announced to current clients on Monday and the response has been phenomenal!  There are still a few spots open.  If you are interested, just email me or submit the contact form accessible from the menu above.  If you'd like to be added to the mailing list, just let me know!  The mini-session fee of $300 is required to hold your spot and, again, includes your session as well as $175 product credit. Preferred times on the schedule will be held in order of payment received.

NOTE: If you prefer the luxury of a full custom Erin Sullivan Photography session at your home or outdoor location of your choice, the calendar for the remainder of spring and summer 2010 is open and a few dates remain.

$75 GIFT CERTIFICATES: You will receive a $75 gift certificate to be used towards your session for every person you refer who books a session with Erin Sullivan Photography.

Enjoy some favorites in the park!
