Orange County Family Photographer
documenting present parents with playful kids
Southern California
For the parents who fear the trauma of Holiday Card Photos from past disastrous attempts with kids in stiff clothing and the most tempting of bribes such as "if you smile, we'll get ice cream after!" (cut to 10 mins later and tears shed from multiple pairs of eyes).
Your nightmare is also mine!
What if instead, we release expectations and let the kids be kids. In your home, at the neighborhood park, a focus that shifts from posed to simply being present. Documenting on film the small, in between moments that feel mundane currently but will cause a wash of nostalgia twenty years from now.
"Speechless.
Perfectly captures
the silliness!"
"Erin's work is uniquely
story-driven"
"Her calming presence made the whole experience so easy to just be ourselves"
"We will forever
treasure these"
Playful kids, present parents. That's all the littles want: your attention. Give them the gift of time, agenda-free. Your photos will feel natural, free, and alive--the dream!

I am an Orange County based family photographer, and I document the fleeting, fun, emotional parts of life with kids.
The families who invite me into their worlds often feel most comfortable in the mundane - at home, walking to the nearest park, riding bikes to get ice cream with the littles. These are the kinds of moments you think back wistfully on decades later. Worth remembering!
To embrace something real, slow down and notice the moments of your life which flash past in the daily routine. The effort to reach for nostalgia in the present drives my gentle approach to photographing families on film.
a love letter to you

Testimonials
The Gazin Family
Erin is instantly warm and her calming presence made the whole experience so easy to just be ourselves. The photos were less posed and more about capturing a feeling. We were in our home for the session with our 3 year old daughter, and it felt so special to have this little time capsule to look back on. The photos Erin captured are artsy and real and I often find myself staring at them. ◡̈ We already can’t wait to use Erin again!

The Lee Family
Erin captured film photos of my partner, daughter, and I. Can't begin to tell you how incredibly easy she made it for us. We're not very good 'posers' (no pun intended), so her consistent yet lax direction for us really drove the candid feel home in each photo. We're definitely revisiting these and will be utilizing her talent for future memories. Stoked on how beautifully Erin captured this moment in our lives❣️
