Erin Aasland Photography, momma kissing daughter and snuggling

we are all unique

And that is what needs to be photographed. The love, the laughter, the wild, the messy + all the little moments in between.

LIFESTYLE SESSIONS

Lifestyle Photography focuses on the interactions, connections, and snuggles more so than everyone looking & smiling at the camera. It’s about celebrating life as you are right now, and being present in that moment.

I do typically get a few of the traditional images of everyone looking and smiling at the camera -- if siblings and/or your partner are joining. But, most of the session is about connection and those in-between moments that really help to show the uniqueness of your life + create images that you will treasure. EMBRACE THE MESS. What you think may be a disaster, I see as beauty and magic.

MY STYLE

My focus is really all about connection. My shooting style is a laid back "go with the flow" vibe, which I find helps everyone laugh & allows for me to capture genuine candid moments. We may play silly games or I may give you goofy prompts, but it all helps you relax and have fun with the session.

We will also most likely get dirty amidst all the fun — capturing images the way I do is super important for everyone to just focus on all the play, love, and connection vs. freaking out over outfits getting dirty. Clothes can always be washed, but you can’t always take back that moment you give your little anxiety about getting messy. It can affect the whole rest of the shoot!

Testimonials

Valerie | Parenthood

“As a mom, I am rarely in the frame with my kids. It is such a gift to receive a gallery where the bond between my littles and I is so evident. Erin is amazing at capturing all the moments in between. The way my daughter crinkles her face and the how my son constantly has fistfuls of my hair in his hands. It’s not about getting perfect smiles, it’s about connection and Erin understands how to capture that. Her lifestyle approach makes the session feel comfortable and low pressure. I am so grateful to have these beautiful images to reflect on. My kids are growing so fast, I’m so glad I made this session a priority because I cherish these memories forever. I highly recommend Erin and I cannot wait to get in front of her lens again.”

Gabrielle | Motherhood

“Erin has been photographing our family for 8 years and every time she captures new photos of us, I am in awe of her talent. My daughters are wild and constantly on the move and she handles it with ease and grace. One of my favorite things about these sessions is Erin’s ability to showcase my children’s individual personalities. We always look forward to our time with Erin because she knows how to take beautiful photos while still making it a fun experience. I can’t wait to hang these on my walls!”

Kelli | Innocent Session

“Erin has photographed my family and I for several important life events. She never disappoints. She has a laid back personality that makes it so easy to be comfortable in front of the camera right away. She is awesome with kids. My daughter is pretty shy and warms up to her quickly! Her photos are amazing and I cannot say enough positives things about her.”

Jamie | Innocent Session

“About a week or so after our son was born, Erin came over and snapped a phenomenal newborn/family session for our family. We were exhausted that morning and also had a sick, grumpy 3 year old on our hands. Erin was still able to capture the most special moments of us all! She has the most amazing way with children, it’s impressive. She is so talented and has been our number 1 “go to” for about 4 years now. We will continue to have her catch all of these moments and lifelong memories we will cherish forever. She is the best!”

Caitlyn | Parenthood

“Erin was absolutely amazing during our shoot. Our shoot was in the evening, after my daughter’s nap, she was well fed, we had her juice, I thought we were well prepared and ready for a fun photo shoot. Boy was I wrong! My beautiful 2 year old was in full tantrum mode. This is where Erin’s calm demeanor and bright personality really came to life. In between fusses she was able to capture some amazing shots and candid scenes of us as a family. I love our pictures and am eternally grateful that Erin was able to document our family of 3 before we became 4!”

Dawnalee | Free Spirits Session

“Erin is more than a photographer; she is a patient, loving, warm and kind soul. She makes every client feel important and special. Erin exceeded my expectations, she put in the time and effort to deliver a masterpiece I could only dream of.”

frequent questions

+ What does an online gallery look like?

I will definitely try to get a few of the typical “everyone smiling + looking at the camera” shots. However, most of the images in your gallery will reflect that of a lifestyle session which is focused on connection — all the tender moments, little games + movement, snuggles, and everything else that unfolds during your session. Not everyone will be looking at the camera in each image, and some images may be that of consoling a crying child. We will play, laugh, get dirty + capture some beautiful images genuine to you.

+ WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR??

I have an amazing online wardrobe styling system, which helps guide you thru the best combinations to coordinate and plan your outfits. Feeling comfortable and confident in what you are wearing actually shows thru in your images. And since providing this complimentary service to my clients, it has become a saving grace in allowing sessions to be planned with as little stress as possible!

+ What if I want to order prints or albums, do you provide this?

YES — Beautiful linen albums, prints, enlargements, art prints, and even additional digital images can all be easily ordered from your online gallery!

+ Do you travel?

Heck yes! I love using the beautiful PNW as our backdrop, and I am happy to travel for sessions. Anything outside of a 30 miles of 98065 will have a travel fee.

+ How do you handle children who do not want their photo taken?

I will not force posing with children, period. It tends to make the session more stressful for mamma + everyone else there, as well as makes that child more unwilling to participate. So, if anyone does not want their photo taken, I tend to carry on with the shoot + “ignore” them, which usually leads to them wanting to join in on the fun on their own!

+ What is required for booking?

Only two things. (1) A $100 non-refundable booking retainer must be paid in order to reserve your portrait session. This claims time on the calendar for your session + allows no one else to book that day. (2) The portrait contract must be completed + signed. This is super easy to do as it is all online. Once those two things are done, you are on the books baby!

WHILE YOU’RE WRAPPED UP IN ALL THE PLAY, I WILL CAPTURE YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIFE
