As a busy mom, I know how hard it can be to make time to get professional photos taken. But it is so worth it to get updated photos every few years since kids grow and change so quickly. I’m constantly hearing parents say how they wish their kids would stop growing so fast! Photo art is a wonderful way to preserve memories of kids at every age to have a daily reminder of what you love so much, even after that stage has passed.
In 2016, I began photographing other families and providing photo art through Erin Swann Photography. The best part of the process is at the very end when families see the images we created and receive their professionally-printed photo products!
We have photo art in almost every room in our house. I love looking at the canvases, framed prints, and wood prints every day!
I enjoy my wonderful co-workers at my day job as a project coordinator for a government contract. In addition to photography, I also spend my free time participating in my church handbell choir as well as a local adult tap class!
Kind Words from Sweet Clients
I liked that she brought multiple backdrops and had different colors and textures to work with. She was able to get my baby to pose in super cute ways! Everyone has raved about the photos. I would absolutely recommend Erin.

"Erin did a beautiful job with my daughter’s newborn photos. I felt very comfortable having her around my baby. The photos turned out beautifully!"
We were able to capture some of our every day routines which normally couldn’t be captured during the week. Some of our favorite activities are reading before bed time, making breakfast together and playing games. The kids were also more willing to participate because they didn’t have to pose and sit still. We also didn’t have to worry too much about the weather forecast which was a sigh of relief.

"In one word, the in-home lifestyle photo session is relaxing. We enjoyed every bit of this type of photo session more than the traditional one."
Erin’s patience boggled my mind! I was ready to just give up on having our toddler involved in the newborn session, but she worked with him and ensured that we got some really precious photos of our two boys.

"We had an amazing experience with Erin Swann Photography from start to finish! Erin struck the perfect balance between offering expert advice and allowing me the freedom to make decisions."
I have had professional photos taken of our family and I look forward to getting more taken in the future! The images truly get more valuable as children grow up. The time and effort invested is always more than worth it.
How often would I recommend getting professional photos taken? I always say the younger the child, the more often you want additional photos since they change more quickly. I recommend scheduling a photo session for children a few times during their first year (newborn, four months old, sitting, and standing are all great stages to document) and at least once per year after that (birthdays are a great time to schedule those!). And updated family images are nice to capture every two to three years.
I like to make photo sessions a very fun and painless process for you! I will help you through the planning, photo session, and ordering stages of your photo session journey. I aim to capture the true personality of children and encourage everyone to just be themselves during the photo session! Reach out if you have any questions or are ready to plan your next photo session!
