I’ve posted a few sessions of this family recently. First maternity… then newborn… now family. It’s so fun for me to watch babies grow and change! He’s 2 months old already. You can just feel the love in these family pictures and it melts my heart!









About The Photographer
Hi! My name is Erika and I am photographer of Center of Attention Photography. My blog is a way for everyone to view recent work and get to know me! I am the very proud mommy to Braylan. I have the most wonderful and supportive family and friends. I LOVE what I do and I hope you can tell!

This is little Pailyn Rose. Her grandma owns the Bird’s Nest in Boyne City and made this cute birds nest for a prop. I’ve been wanting to do the baby on a flower picture… it took a while to make it look real but I like how it turned out.





For November the weather was wonderful for Tina and Mark’s wedding day. It was pretty foggy so we couldn’t see the water in the background for formals… but everything works out! Everything looked so nice and elegant inside. It was a fun day!














So I’m always talking about getting and making new props… if you’ve been to the studio you know I have a TON of stuff. Last summer I bought a super old children’s desk. I haven’t used it yet but I was some great ideas for spring. I absolutely love the the new vintage trend! I also love when little girls wear hair accessories! AND I love when people bring their own stuff too. I’m always looking for new and awesome ideas. So I just wanted to show some new headbands I made for the studio. If you look at a post of Eloise below you will see she has a purple one on.

I have not blogged my niece hardly at all! I’m with her so much and take SO many picture but the only one’s to see any are people that visit my sisters house. I haven’t even updated my facebook or myspace because I’ve been to busy. I tried to photograph her by myself in the studio yesterday and it didn’t go so well. She is on the move crawling EVERYWHERE now! I have a few more cute ones but thought I would edit and put one up right now. She is a doll.
We will try again next week when me and my sister have time.

Had to add another!

So I was looking at a super awesome photographer’s blog… Stacy Reeves. I came across this pie chart and was like… wow. YES. I have been a photographer now since late 2005. I have struggled with explaining how much work I actually do because I’m not so great with explanations. Not only does this chart sum things up but to add a little in site… it’s not always fun. It’s not just about making pretty pictures. My husband and I have invested a ton of money into my business and I have spent countless hours making not as much much as some people think. My hourly wage would make you laugh… I don’t ONLY do it for the money. I really LOVE my job. Now the business aspect is a tough one. I’m an artist and I’m learning how to be a good business person. I just thought I would post this because it’s good for other people to see.
You may notice two different hair styles here.
We had to do one session in the fall and one in the winter. I like the two looks thing. I’ve had the most polite guy seniors this year. Sometimes I get guys that don’t really want to get their pictures taken and kind of bum around… but this past yer has been great.





It’s taken me a while to post this session. I’m a little behind on blogging! I have a few more sessions and weddings to get up.
You may recognize this little guy from the contest. Little Miller is so darn cute. He was a little shy for me but warmed up.







I just wanted to give a heads up to all my clients that I will be out of office for the week of FEB. 17-24! I will not be available through email or phone…. My husband and I will be on our first vacation ever.
I’m super excited!
Isn’t she just adorable? This little baby has the cutest little clothes… and her parents are so nice. My favorite picture of her is the close up with the white background. I just love it.
