TINA PIPITONE! I look forward to meeting you and working with you! I’ll be in touch via e-mail to give more details.

For all who entered.. thank you so very much! As a way to say thanks for stopping by, sharing my site with friends, and the wonderful compliments.. I’d like to offer all who entered the contest 15% off my new 2010 pricing on any session booked this year. {my new pricing is under the “investment” tab}. I look forward to working with you all!

Congrats to Tina!

this is a first for me! i’m taking part in a photo challenge over at the ‘i heart faces’ blog. i have the perfect photo for this topic.. it’s the first picture that came to mind when i saw that the topic had to do with family. i love this photo… it’s clear that this “blended” family has serious love for their youngest sibling/daughter… all i had to say was tickle “b” and, all hands went to her and, everyone’s face lit up with a HUGE smile! I was happy to capture that moment! i love all the photos from that session but, especially love this one. enjoy!

Hello Everyone!! Happy New Year to you all!! I can finally share the girls Holiday photos. I was unable to share them up to this point because enlargements were given as gifts to the grandparents… now that the holidays are over, I can share them here :) yay!
I hope that you all had a very Happy Holiday and a very lovely New Years Eve celebration. I wish you all a very Happy 2010! To celebrate the new year, i’d like to host a contest for all people residing in Sussex and Kent Counties in Delaware AND, anyone located within 20 miles of Ocean City, Maryland. How it works is like this.. all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and, i’ll write up all the names on paper and pick them the old fashioned way.. out of a hat. Well, i’ll probably let my girls pick the names (i’ll post a little photo of them doing it when i name the winner). The contest runs until January 31st. Please tell all your friends and relatives that live in the area. I’ll post the winner on February 1st!! OH! I can’t forget.. haha. The winner will receive a 1 hour photo shoot and, a disc of as many images that I edit (usually 20-40)… the photo shoot must take place in 2010! Post away!

(If you have any trouble leaving a comment, just write me at erin@erinleighphoto.com and, I’ll either add your comment or just add you to the list for the drawing.. thanks!)

hello everyone! i mentioned a while back that we’d be relocating to Delaware in the upcoming months and, would update you when that time was approaching. well, we sold our house and, we’re heading down to the Delaware beaches mid-December! i will have updates from time to time letting you know if i’ll be returning to this area for photo shoots but, for now….. i am not taking any new clients in the baltimore/dc/metro area this year. it’s been a great year here in Maryland and, I look forward to meeting a lot of new clients down at the Eastern Shore as well as reconnecting with past clients! thanks and, i’ll be in touch again soon :)
