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!

SENIOR: Alexis

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

This is my cousin Alexis… her and her mom drove all the way up from Caro for me to photograph her senior pictures. I can’t wait to go down to her graduation this year! My family doesn’t get down state much so we are really looking forward to it.

SENIOR/FRESHMAN: Travis and Derick

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

You might recognize Travis from earlier in the summer… I took some pictures of him downtown Boyne City. My aunt and uncle wanted some studio/fall pictures of him too. Derick is in his first year of JV Football so we grabbed some pictures of him in his uniform.

SENIOR SNEAK PEAK: Micha

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Introducing Micha…. She is a very modern senior. Two things stuck out to me as soon as I met her on her session day: her eyes and hair. She has the most beautiful eyes and her hair is pretty awesome too :) I had fun shooting her session and chatting with her. Here are my favorites.

SENIOR SNEAK PEAK: Michael

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Double blog post today! Like I said before I don’t get very many senior guys… and since I’ve said that I’ve had two more! :) I have another senior guy session this week and then a long line of girls again.

For Michael’s session I went to his house in Boyne City. He is a biker and I love that we got some great shots with his bike. I met his mom at the Boyne City Expo in the spring I attended. I have to say that expo was pretty successful for me.

SENIOR SNEAK PEAK: Jessica

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I have been so busy that I’m trying to keep up on my blog/editing and there just isn’t enough hours in the day! Senior/Wedding season is in full swing and I have soooo many sneak peaks coming up. So check back often!

This is a fun talented girl name Jessica. She came from Grayling with her friend Molli (I took Molli’s pictures about a month ago.) She plays instruments and draws beautifully. Sorry this took a little longer for your sneak peak Jessica!

I couldn’t pick which one I liked better!

SENIOR SNEAK PEAK: Molli

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Molli came all the way over from Grayling to have me take her senior pictures…. she is very involved in school activities and it was fun to take pictures of her instruments and bow&arrow. Props are so fun. I love going into Boyne Falls and using the old buildings. :) I even threw in a America’s Next Top Model pose in there… Molli is VERY photogenic. I had a lot of favorites so this is a long post.

For Lauren’s session I went over to her house on the Lake in Boyne City… Let me just say how nice her, her mom and brother were. A beautiful house + beautiful lake + beautiful girl=great photos. Not trying to toot my own horn here but I just love how they turned out! :) Here are my favorites from her session…

SENIOR SNEAK PEAK: Sonni

Friday, July 31st, 2009

I have been busy with seniors this week… I started off the week with Sonni. Her and her mom came to visit her Grandma from Cali and a friend of hers told her about me. We had a nice day for her shoot…. and here are my favorites of her. I think my top fave is the second one down. Her hair is just beautiful!
