When one journey ends…
Another entirely new one begins.
Today marks the end and last day of my 2009 cans for comments campaign. Thank you so much for your thoughtful, heartfelt and touching comments. For taking time out of your busy lives to stop by my blog and share in my journeys with me. You don’t have to come here. You don’t have to read these words. But you are. I am grateful. Always.
I loved so many of Kelsey and Steve’s maternity images below are a few from their session a month ago…
I can barely believe, still… after photographing so many maternity/newborn sessions… the absolute miracle that you can be carrying a baby inside of you one day, and the next… they are in the world. It just absolutely blows my mind. I must have burst into tears at least five times during our newborn session with little baby Foster. The innocence, the perfection is something so precious it simply takes my breath away.
Thank you for choosing me to share this time in your lives with. What a beautiful family.
So.. for the rest of the day… comment away. Tomorrow I will tally up all the comments and announce the end result! So awesome. Remember to comment, to donate, to share to give to be better than you were yesterday. Why not.

Fabulous work, Erin. So glad we could it use on the BC flyer. Thanks for the browse. Your mom is SOOOOO proud of you!

Dyslexic moment on that last comment! Does this count as two?

Beautiful Erin! You are amazing and it is so true what a miracle pregnancy & parenthood is. You have captured very important milestones in so many peoples lives and you always deliver above and beyond! Happy holidays to you and your family and we are all so eager to see your belly photos in the new year.

Kelsey looks stunning and I love the one of her in that dress! Little Foster is adorable….what a beautiful family!
December 11th, 2009 at 8:19 am
Wow! Makes me want to have another one… my babies had full heads of hair just like this little guy! I love all of them, but the one that really made me smile… was the yawn! So precious
December 11th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Brilliant, Erin! As always! Keep amazing us! I love the pictures with Foster and his dad. Foster has an amazing amount of hair. The mom looking at her newborn so much reminded me of me studying my boys when they were newborn – you just get lost in looking at them, no idea how much time went by, studying every wrinkle, the fine hairs, the shape of their nose, eyes…couldn’t get enough of it. Have a magic Christmas season with a little one in your belly. It does change your look on everything, doesn’t it….?!
December 11th, 2009 at 8:28 am
what a beautiful family! I love the one of him yawning in daddys arms!
your work gets more and more beautiful all the time!
