Ortiz Family :: KMC Family Photographer

Trying to catch up on the blogging...  I've missed quite a few sessions lately.

Here's a wonderful family I had to opportunity to photograph while their mother was in Germany for a visit.  These two brothers had never done a photo with their mom while in uniform.  I was happy to oblige...

This book will guide you from understanding the basics with your digital camera, to how to frame a shot and get a great photo.  It is filled with all my "dirty little secrets" that I've learned from having been in this industry for over five years - laid out in "Erin Lingo" and easy to understand.

** First Review of the Book ::

"I just finished reading your book, and yes, I downloaded it less than an hour ago. It is a fascinating read. I can hear your voice, your heart, and your passion for your craft in every page. Your words provide not only a great tutorial, but also an excellent display of your work providing inspiration along the way. This book moves me to get out and take photographs!

Beyond Snapshots reminds me that photography is a true art form and like any art, requires study and practice and evolvement. The rewards however, as shown in your book, are beautiful! Amazingly, the lessons and tips also make me believe that I, too, can take great photos that capture the moments of our lives.

Thank you for this guide. It is helpful, exciting and loaded with useful information. I know I will refer to again and again! I can’t wait to get out and photograph!

Great work, Erin."

1K Words Does Design Work

Few of you may realize that I do design work here at 1K Words (hence the "& Design" in my official title).  Most recently, I had the opportunity to design a logo for friend who is picking up doing in-home, redisgn work.  A field that she has been passionate about for quite some time...  You can check out Michelle and all her "re-designing" glory at facebook.com/RedesignByMichelle.

Here are some samples I drew up for her...  She helped customize her design and picked the last option as her official logo.
