• One of my favorite people. I've known this amazing girl since she was 4 years old. Her mom is one of my best friends. She would come to work, and lay under her mom's desk with her blanket watching cartoons on the iPad. She's growing up to be an incredible person. She's kind, and sensitive, caring, inquisitive. All of the amazing things. I can't wait to see what life brings her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @erikaparkerportraits #rolleiflex #rollei #blackandwhiteportrait #ilford3200 #bw #shootfilm #portraitsonfilm #neworleansportraitphotography #nolaportraits #neworleansfamilyphotography #erikaparker #studioportrait #erikaparkerphotography

  • Family Photos!! Yes I do them : ) For a long time I was scared to do family photos on film. There was something really daunting about it. I thought it would be hard to shoot kids, they move around so much, and what if every shot I get is of them being wiggly and squirmy. Well, it turns out... they are hard to shoot. But it also turns out, I love the wiggly and squirmy. I thought long and hard about what kind of family photos I want to deliver. And I thought about what kind of family photo would I want? I would want one that showed us as a family. Being us, interacting with each other, being the silly, goofy people we are. But I'd also have my hair and make up done 😁 ... If you want to see more of my family, portrait and in studio work, come follow me over at @erikaparkerportraits . . . . . . . . . . @ebbandflowink @jaynieclelie #family #neworleansfamilyphotographer #neworleansfamily #neworleanskidsphotography #neworleanskids #nolakids #shootfilm #kidsonfilm #hasselblad #neworleansmaternityphotography #babybump #letthembekids #nolanewborn #neworleansnewbornphotography

  • “This is the fairest picture on our planet, the most enchanting to look upon, the most satisfying to the eye and the spirit. To see the sun sink down, drowned on his pink and purple and golden floods, and overwhelm Florence with tides of color that make all the sharp lines dim and faint and turn the solid city to a city of dreams, is a sight to stir the coldest nature, and make a sympathetic one drunk with ecstasy.” Mark Twain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #duomo #florence #firenze #travel #italy #florencewedding #florenceweddingphotography #florenceelopement #florenceengagementphotography #tuscany #shootfilm #contax645 #shootmorefilm #erikaparker #erikaparkerphotography

  • Editorials. Why do we do them? Should we do them? What's the point? Where do we even start if we wanted to? I get asked this question often. . Personally I love designing and shooting editorials. Its the one place where I get to be in charge of the direction, the details, the dress, all of it. I get to create a story in my mind, about a girl, about a boy, about their experience, about something they want to tell the world, and then I get to bring it to life. I shoot editorials because its keeps me creative. It makes me think outside of the box, and it keeps me fresh. Editorials give me a reason to travel (not that I need one, ha!), they give me a reason to explore ideas I might not otherwise think about, they give me a reason to learn about other cultures. . What are your experiences with editorials? Do you love them? Hate them? Do they stress you out? I want to know! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hair: Maurizia Paradisi Make Up: @viriginiaguidottimakeupartist Model: @daphne_eisblume Dress: @bhldn Calligraphy and Paper: @pigmentandparchment Ring: @susiesaltzman #destinationwedding #italywedding #florence #firenze #florencewedding #florenceelopement #editorial #florenceweddingphotographer #travel #shootfilm #contax645 #italybride #tuscany #erikaparker #erikaparkerphotography
