My professional photography journey began in the spring of 2016, and I'm excited to see where it's heading.  Join me on my way!

here's to brothers!

Erin Sutherland October 15, 2019

I completely enjoyed my time with these handsome brothers this week! They did such a great job with this photo shoot, and I was so impressed with them. Great smiles and great personalities to match! They were relaxed and mannerly, communicated comfortably with me, made eye contact (big bonus points!) and followed my suggestions and directions happily. It does my heart such good to see such great kids in the world.

This session actually came about in an interesting way. This family won their mini-session in a raffle at a Mattawan Public Education Foundation event this summer! MPEF is an awesome organization that supports Mattawan Public Schools through helping fund unique educational opportunities. Financial support from MPEF comes in the form of Brain Strong Grants to teachers, Scholarships to graduating seniors, special funding to administrators in all four buildings and more. The Mattawan Public Education Foundation has been going strong for 25 years and recently completed a huge renovation of the high school media center! It’s an organization I’m excited to be a part of, and I’m especially glad it led me to this opportunity to meet this great family. I hope you’ll enjoy these fun photos we took together

This week&rsquo;s project: it may not be fancy, but this T-shirt blanket is super cozy and filled with great memories of important times and places.
Getting excited over here about strawberries-to-be!  I&rsquo;m always delighted by my garden in May, but I feel extra enthusiastic this year, thanks to all the time I have to sit around looking at it.  #strawberries #gardening #smalljoys
I love watching my garden taking its first breath above the surface.  It&rsquo;s so fun every day to come out after weeks of waiting to see the miraculous progress.  #hope #growtowardsthelight #gardeningmiracles
God made dirt, and dirt don&rsquo;t hurt.  #gardenadventures #childhoodunplugged #springtime
File this under Life Science lab hours completed for today.  #quarantinechronicles #childhoodunplugged #pondlife #dirtdonthurt
