Why work with Erin Fortin Photography?

Choosing a wedding photographer is a scary thing to do because those photos will be with you forever, but rest assured that if you choose Erin, you will never regret it. When she showed me the sneak peak of the photos later that night I couldn't help but start crying because of how thankful I was to have her be the photographer to capture such an important life event for us.

Erin met with us to get to know who we are, what makes us smile, and what we wanted her to capture about our day. Erin is awesome to work with and did an incredible job with our photos. We had so much fun with Erin before, during, and after our ceremony and reception. Our friends used Erin for their wedding and it was like reliving our wedding day with Erin being there.

Best wedding photos ever! Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with. She kept us organized, had great pose advice, and she has an incredible eye. Our wedding photos turned out amazing and I'm so excited to share them with my friends and family! She enhanced my day with her smile and her warm personality. I'm so happy we hired her!!

Our photos are AMAZING!!!! They are just beautiful!!! Our kiddos were not so cooperative and I can't believe how many wonderful shots you got of us and them! We have used so many photographers over the years and these are my absolute favorite!!!

Erin immediately made an effort to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, so she could share our vision for engagement and wedding day photos that fit our personalities. We were initially nervous about an engagement session, thinking that it wasn't our thing, but she met us in a local park during a massive snow storm and made us immediately comfortable and the whole process fun and easy.

I can’t praise Erin enough for her beautiful photography. Her warm and bubbly personality put everyone at ease and she truly felt like part of the family! My two grandsons were so surprised she even knew their names! I highly recommend Erin Fortin Photography! You will make a new friend, also, in the process!!

This is a very special story for another day. But for now, a sneak peek for these two gorgeous souls that I couldn’t wait one minute longer to post.
EFP's last round of fall family minis was a blast yesterday! We're going to have oodles of sneak peeks in the next week, but in the mean time... I had to start with these guys because goofy kiddo faces never go out of style.
Today is my last day of Fall Family Minis, and I am stoked to see everyone. We’ve got great weather, new and returning clients, and I couldn’t be happier. . . After that, my own little family is having its photos taken. But then? I have no work plans - zip zero zilch - the REST of the weekend. We might even go for a hike tomorrow 🏔 Does anyone know if Hood Nat’l Forest is getting snow yet?
“You deserve to celebrate” Weez said to me at the end of October, when EFP hit its largest milestone. “But how?” I asked. How or why do we recognize the growth of our small businesses? Because those numbers are the tangible, statistically relevant, black and white realities of our strategies in motion. . . I set out a goal in 2019 to throw IG rules out the window and just have fun with it. Speak with MY voice and tell my personal stories and share my loves and heartaches. It never felt authentic to me to have this platform be strictly business. Because Wedding and Family Photography is a people business, after all isn’t it? . . So here’s to all the small business hustlers out there. The CEOs and Owners and Entrepreneurs who work hard, show up with consistency and integrity, and believe in serving a bigger purpose. I’m proud of us. Woop woop woop!!
Every little detail from @smilesam19 and Brian’s wedding on Saturday felt classy and beautiful, in an effortless kinda way. I’m especially appreciative of @mayflymanitou for leaving a few extra floral bits and pieces for me to use when styling their details. We had an absolutely excellent vendor list for this one, so if you need any recs here ya have them! . .

Meet Sara, owner and baker extraordinaire of @artemisia.bakery. Taking her headshots were almost as easy as taking down an entire pan of her coffee cake 😂🤤 If you’re local to Hillsboro, you lucky dog can pick up her bakes super easily, but even if you don’t, they deliver!!
Look at this crew! They’re pretty darn special to me for a bunch of reasons, but being able to photograph them again this fall was such an honor. . . Do you have a big family? When was the last time y’all got together? Big families and young kids are my jam, so don’t stress about toddler meltdowns or the madness of a big group. I’ve got your back! #bigfamilyphoto . . If you’re lucky (or unlucky depending on how crazy it can be, lol 😂) enough to have them all within driving distance, I’m just a tad jealous. Mine are all over the US and it takes planes and trains and automobiles to get us together. We’ve somehow managed to congregate 10 of the 12 of us for Thanksgiving, which for anyone counting, is only 3 weeks away. 🤤🍻🥧🧡
What if I told you that an EFP family session is not just a stand here and smile photoshoot, but an experience for your family that should bring back good memories? Yep, my service goes deeper than you think, and my clients generously tend to share that exact feedback. And it all starts when you make your first inquiry. Are there any Qs I can help answer? What do you expect during a family session?
That dress though 👌🏼🔥
Hey friends! It’s me, Erin, and I wanted to hop on here real quick for a little intro. I’m a PhD chemist and full time wedding and family photographer, who believes that serving clients means waaaaay more than just creating pretty photos. I cultivate an experience from the first inquiry and EFP clients are like family to me (so there’s a 97% chance I’ll goof off with your kids during your session). . . I’m a mom of 2 girls (2yrs old and 4 months). I’m married to a brilliant, witty, and wildly handsome man named Weez. We like to chase after our goals, trail run in Forest Park, and drink beers at the microbrewery near our home. . . I am an optimist, romantic, and big dreamer. I believe being yourself is the coolest and if anything is worth doing, it’s worth doing right. I’ve been known to book spontaneous plane tickets and am currently in Illinois introducing our youngest to her Great Grandma Del. I really love my family and friends (probably too much. Lol) . . Thanks for stopping by or taking the moment to read this! It means a lot! Now tell me something we share in common or throw out a tidbit about YOU 😘
Yesterday was pretty fantastic. These guys and the whole vendor team were just great. I’m a little bit sad it’s all over but a lot bit excited to get to work on their gallery. Happy Honeymooning, @smilesam19 and Brian! . .

Last wedding of the season tomorrow and it’s definitely not going to disappoint (spoiler: @saltandstraw will be there). Stay tuned for more @smilesam19 and Brian sweetness. . . Holy smokes it’s finally here. See y’all soon! 🥳
