About The Photographer

Hi! My name is Erika Blackwell and I am photographer of Center of Attention Photography. Located in Northern Michigan. My blog is a way for everyone to view some of my favorite images from recent sessions and get to know me! I am the very VERY proud mommy to Braylan. I LOVE what I do and I hope you can tell! These are not JUST take pictures I take. I create memories... I pour my heart into my work. I genuinely care about my clients and get to know them and learn what they like and dislike. I am an artist. A business woman. I love to have fun. I love to sing. Dance. Make crazy sounds to get those smiles. I am very open! I work into the night even though my son hates to sleep. I LOVE oreos and soymilk. I dream big. I have tons of ideas. I cry during touching ceremonies and awesome reception speeches. I try not to be messy but it happens. I have so many new faces to meet this year and just thinking about it makes me excited!

Cassidy& Lily

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Remember that free session+dress that I was giving away in a contest?? If you follow my blog you know this was a big deal and sooo many votes were cast over a couple weeks. Facebook pages went crazy asking friends to vote… and my blog got thousands of new hits. The winner was Cassidy. Their mom Erica was up for anything and I have so many awesome shots of these girlies! Very fun morning.

FAMILY: Hoover

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.

TWINS: Keith and Kevin

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Twins are twice the fun! These two are filled with energy and would do every pose I wanted them too! They braved the bad roads to come for their session…. and I’m glad they did!

FAMILY: Dixon’s

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

We had to pull some tricks out of our bag for little Gwen. She is such a little doll and made me laugh so much. This family is so nice and I’m glad they chose me to take their pictures. I had to narrow down my favorites because I had so many and here they are…

1 YEAR OLD: Miles

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I took pictures of Miles last year right around the same time… he was still a little baby. It’s so fun to watch kids grow up! He’s walking and talking… makes “eyes” at me and the whole time I’m trying to trick him into the poses we want for him. The hat was the hardest part! :) He did not want anything to do with that hat. It’s my favorite picture of Miles!!

NEWBORN/CHILDREN: Brennan and Hallie

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

You may remember cutie-pie Hallie… she won my favorite pic contest here on my blog! Her and her parents have welcomed little Brennan into the world! They were so great to photograph. Hallie made me laugh so much (she is the smartest 3 year old I’ve ever met)… and Brennan made me say “awwww” because he is just soooo darling. I just love these two and I’m so glad Cassie brought them to me to photograph! Thanks! This is a long post!
