The Erdmans :: Baltimore Family Photography

I've done portraits for this family for a little more than half a decade now. I've had the great blessing and joy to document the engagement of their parents, their very first ever family holiday portrait (with their "furbaby" additions), then two more family holiday portraits (here is last year's), and a visit to the hospital for a "special delivery" newborn session of the youngest son.  Not sure if you have bothered counting but ll of those milestones have made it so I have been able to photograph them just about every single year for the past five years! Does that make me their official family photographer? Hmmm... I don't know but I will tell you that I sure have enjoyed being able to watch their family grow.

Anyway, here is their this year's holiday portraits.  In the past we have done them a lot closer to Christmas for their holiday send outs but this year we were very well organized and got them in my schedule book early in order to beat some of the holiday hustle and bustle. If you haven't already gotten your family's portraits squared away like the Erdmans, I suggest you take a tip from them and book your holiday session with me while you can!

The Erdmans :: Baltimore family portrait photographer

I have known the Erdmans for quite sometime now.  Lisa (the Mrs.) and I actually graduated from high school together but we never really become friends until long after graduation happened one summer when we both worked at the legendary Mattapany Day Camp together.  Since that summer I have counted Lisa as one of my dearest and most cherished friendships.  It's been well over ten years since we first came to know one another and oh how time has changed things!  Nowadays she's happily married (to THE guy predicted she would end up with - I actually did their engagement pictures long ago!) and she is an adoring and doting mother to two handsome little boys.

I got together with all of the Erdmans the other day and we all had a grand ol' time laughing and carrying on despite the frigid temperatures. They are such troopers that you can barely tell how cold it was to be outside on the day we were...

Eventually we took the operation inside by the fire were it was much more reasonably warm and with the addition of lollipops into the mix, everybody was in much better spirits.

As an extra bonus to help minimize the holiday schedule crunch, Lisa enlisted me to do a customized graphic design for their holiday mailings this year to be sent out as New Year's greetings instead of Christmas ones.  (New Year's greetings are a personal favorite of mine and I always encourage my customers to do them instead of rushing to get them out before Christmas making the holiday season more of a headache than the joy that it can be.)  Didn't know I was a graphic designer in addition to being a photographer?  Check it out. Can't beat one-stop-shopping with me and I'm much cheaper than most of the retailers out there who use templates and just make you and yours look like everybody else and theirs...

Didn't get your holiday greetings out?  Let's do a New Year session and we can take care of a custom-designed New Year's mailing for you, too!
