I am moving.....

Yes, my blog is moving!  I am excited about the change!  Come and follow me at ErikaScottPhoto.wordpress.com......would love to interact with you there!  xoxo

Studio Shooting

Life as a photographer is consistently morphing when you are trying to find your way.  You start off in one genre and then skip over to the next in the hopes of finding a style that you become absolutely addicted to.

One of my projects has been to master the studio shoot.  I was invited by the President of PhotoClub Vancouver to come and shoot with him at Focal Point.  What a riot!  I brought two of my dear friends to model for us and they were exceptional.  I can not wait for my next experience of full studio shooting!

Amanda

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing two absolutely stunning girls from Seattle for their Senior photos.  Amanda has to be one of the darlingest girls that I have had the opportunity to work with!  This is a sneak peak of what we came up with for her photos!  She was amazing!

Erik and Kara

What a beautiful couple these two were. Interesting part was they were not even getting married! This fantastic couple were gracious enough to bless a number of photographers with their presence so that we could have an opportunity to tweak our wedding skills without the high level of anxiety and stress that comes along on the 'big' day!

Ten photographers, wedding theme, two couples (one married and one unmarried), two hours and a lot of strobe lights flashing! What a rush......and boy what a product. My poor computer crashed on me last night with all that I was doing (didn't help that I was commissioned to do a 1.5x4.5ft piece for another client)......today is a new day though!

I am beyond thrilled with what I walked away with yesterday. Not only did I capture some stunning images and hone my skill.....I met some other amazing photographers to inspire me to push my skills to their limits!

Well, I apologize.  It has been a bit since I have posted anything.  I am feeling really bad, though life just seems to have gotten away on me.  This truly has been one of the busiest summers of my life that I can remember other than when I used to work three jobs in my younger more vivacious life!

I am locked in my office editing away.  I have photographed a wedding, a family portrait session and a couple other sessions in the last couple weeks.  I have two senior high school sessions tomorrow morning and a wedding shootout on Saturday morning!  I thought before I get totally bogged down, I would take a break and share this image with you.

There are times when I am going through a client's portfolio and an image just strikes me......these are just a couple of them.  I just HAD to share it with you!

T-Shirt

Well, well, well.....if someone didn't just go and make a t-shirt out of one of the images I had done with Arianna!  Thank you to the hard work of James Valiant-hair, Gillisha Wharf-makeup, Arianna Hansen-model and of course Erika Scott-photographer......we are all proud!  The image is pretty darned fantastic and we are honoured to have it put on a t-shirt (even though it is bordering on copyright infringment!)

Thank you also to Gideon and Arianna, I can't wait to officially sign the shirt in gold!

Jumped.....

Well, hello ladies and gentleman, I have great news!  I jumped!  I jumped in with both feet and went public.  Well as public as creating a Facebook page is.  I announced to the world as I know it that I have been photographing up a storm.....and loving it!  No more hiding for this little girl.  It all came from going to an Off Camera Flash course yesterday with an amazing instructor.  Thanks to Paul with PMD Photography, I gained the courage to come outta the closet.  So world, here I am!  It sure does feel great.
