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!

BABY&FAMILY: Jacob

Friday, March 26th, 2010

I feel like I always say how cute and happy the babies I get are…. but they are! This little guy didn’t mind us changing poses and taking lots and lots of pictures. His eyes are so wide and bright. Dad had some good ideas too!

BABY&FAMILY: Amelia

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

This post is a little late. Amelia is so happy and always smiling! It wasn’t hard talking David into some of my favorite daddy/baby poses…. he was willing and ready. I love that! Sharmai had her maternity pictures done in the fall so you might remember seeing these two.

NEWBORN: Emma

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Isn’t she absolutely adorable!? Emma was about a week old when she came to get her pictures taken. She was so alert and awake almost the whole session. Dad had to bounce and rock her over and over to get those eyes clothed. The first picture is in absolute favorite!!

I’ve been shooting a lot of baby girls lately… but I have some boys coming soon.

FAMILY: Josh/Sarah/Lane

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

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!

NEWBORN: Pailyn

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

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.

LITTLE LOVE BUG: Elleana

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

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!

FAMILY: Hoover

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

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.

6 MONTH OLD: Eloise

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

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.

NEWBORN: Lane

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

A few weeks ago I posted Sarah’s maternity pictures… and here is baby Lane! I love love love when I get newborn babies under 14 days old. They are so flexible and sleepy! I smile so much when I look at these!!
