Lets rewind, to 2007, The Day I met Tomme for the first time:  I had emailed Tomme in August of 2007 to shoot my wedding. We made a ‘date’ to meet at Starbucks that September — her signature meeting spot — still hasnt changed. I booked her and did my engagements that November. And it was love at first sight… of my first session, that is! Wink.

For those of you who has never met Tomme, she is one of those people that makes you feel all special and warm and fuzzy. She assures you that her product is the best — which, lets face it — it is!! Insert the fireworks — sparkle sparkle — our personalities meshed! Like an old movie romance. Pshh, who am I kidding. We had discussed work, swapped work and discussed work some more. We decided we liked working with each other. AND it just so happened to be that she was in need of an assistant! So, I asked for the position. Luckily, I was considered! Whoop Whoop.

A year ago this time, we met to stuff our faces in sushi at Wasabi — ahem, I mean — discuss job duties.  She gave me the ‘low down’ on what she was to expect out of me, told me more about her Gallery and what she aspires to be in the future. On my way home from meeting with her, I ended up with a flat tire. Great. Thinking to myself… is this the right decision? Is this a sign? Should I take the ‘position’? What will I gain? etc. All these questions began to run thru my head… all because a flat tire was a sign!? Ugh. BUT, luckily, I did not let the tire sway my decision. I signed the contract and sent it back to her with all smiles. And, since that day… I have loved every minute of it.  Never regretting my decision.
Tomme develops friendships with her clients that last. Our three year relationship has made us great friends and co-workers. I have thourghly enjoyed working for and with her. Tomme has taught me so much as a professional and as a friend. I would not trade my time with her or my learning experiences.

I love you TomTom! Thank you for hiring me on as a part of  your Gallery. I appreciate the time and effort you have put into teaching me become a better assistant to you. Cannot wait to see what we have instore for another year!

Smoooooooch.

I’ve been somewhat consumed so If you haven’t heard from me in a few days, please bear with me. I’m

working on the site and will be back in the swing shortly. xo

I’m looking for a few good MEN and/or  WOMEN. I need a few fresh faces to do some modeling. Do you know a good looking couple that just got engaged that could use some images? Or do you want to try your hand at modeling yourself?

If you think you’re ready for a mini work out, give me a shout. I will need a photo and your size. I only have so many wardrobe choices, peeps so I have to pick based on what’s available.

I’d love to do a couple session but if just male or female, that will work too. I’m looking to do some portfolio testing in May.

Charles Houston made his debut into the world last Monday, January 18th!

Had to include a before and after, well… because that’s just how I ROLL!

Much love and Peaceful Cat Naps, Erica! xo

Holding Family and Friends near and dear. Cherishing those relationships that you used as a crutch to get over the hard times and the ones that talked you through many of harder days.

A new year awaits. Greet it with wide, open eyes to allow all opportunities to take shape around you. Bask in the greatness that simplicity can provide you.

Thank you for a wonderful year and all my 2009 clients. My clients are extremely wonderful and I somehow end up blessed with working with some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to you and your families.
