Nicole Erin Photography

Around this time last year I decided to start my photography business! It has been such a whirlwind of excitement, learning and maybe even some tears. Putting myself and my talent out there wasn't the easiest for me (and at times, still isn't) but I'm grateful for the bravery to get out there and pursue photography. I am also grateful for a husband who supports me in ALL things photography. Including, spending his one free night holding the light reflector in some rough humidity. He helps me believe in myself (and even pushes me to raise my prices haha). 

I also have had the opportunity to have some close friends who are incredible photographers. I could pick their brains for hours- and sometimes do. I have taken a break this summer but feel more energized then ever to get back into it!
So here is to another year pursuing my photography passion...

Highlights of my year:

Doing werrrk in the Keys

Shaun had a work conference in the Keys on the weekend of my birthday. Which hello, count me in! Our friends on the east coast (he's a pharma rep with Shaun) were planning on coming and we were going to make it one big party. His wife could not come last minute so it was a fun party of 3. We love when Drew is our 3rd wheel! Don't want to brag, but our 3rd wheels usually rave about us... 

(total joke, but not a joke. ya know?)

When SJ's out on business, we like to try different food that we never would try.
For me that would mean...steak (haha). No, I actually tried and loved fried alligator!
Happy birthday to me.

 In the morning, the boys were working the booth and I took a gorgeous bike ride down the coast. 

solo kayak & bike rides only entertain you for so long. 

I went and hung out with the boys at the booth for the rest of the day

It was 1000 degrees so Drew got us THE MOST DELICIOUS FROZEN LEMONADE I HAVE EVER HAD.
Like seriously.
I can still imagine the taste. 

People disappoint, pizza is eternal.

Really all I care about is pizza and like four people.

Yeah I'm into fitness. Fitness whole pizza in my mouth

The amount of pizza quotes I have saved on my phone is getting out of control!

Remember how I said people rave about being our 3rd wheel?
They are so excited they throw themselves off water trampolines.

I was actually pretty sad to see 25 go, but I am enjoying the 26 party just fine!

We thought we were doing ourselves a favor by having our anniversary smack-dab in between our birthdays (that are 12 days apart). The thinking was every year we would celebrate our two birthdays and anniversary with one big trip. That hasn't happened yet. Our birthday shenanigans take over most March nights surrounding our anniversary. However, we always take the day to dance to our wedding song and think about that special day where we were sealed in the Lord's house for all eternity. This year, I made Shaun get back into our wedding outfits for a photo-op. Apparently a photo-op where it totally covers the outfits that we were trying to show off... 

happy 4 years to us, sj.

you have made me more adventurous

and i've made you... more cautious of germs!
