Business Things and Tangerines

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Look at meeeee, blogging thrice in one week! It’s a freakin miracle! And I’m actually writing Things I Love Thursday ON Thursday! And you’ll be able to read it ON Thursday! Isn’t this incredible? We’re such champs. So, let’s get rolling with things I’m lovin’, shall we?

1. The new blog.
I would post a picture of this one, but… um… you’re looking at it. So that would be pretty silly. As everyone has figured out by now, I am constantly refining my vision of my brand as an expression of who I am and what I do, and this blog has endured thousands of mind-changings and ‘executive design decisions.’ It will probably be tweaked a little in the future, especially in the sidebar area. What do you guys think? Seriously, let me know! Too dark? Too boring? Too cluttered? Feedback is the best way to make it more excellent, so lay it on me!

2. I finally picked an album supplier!
Okay, well, I picked two. Edit: I was mistaken on pricing. I had calculated incorrectly, they are not similar in price. However, I will probably still offer both.

The first is a beautiful handcrafted album, with near limitless cover options and upgrades. Faux-leather, real leather, cloth, brocades, you name it. It’s classic, clean, and meticulously crafted here in the US.

The other album is my FAVORITE. It speaks volumes to my soul, and really captures the magic and romance of life perfectly. If you’re looking for a more artistic, ECO-FRIENDLY album, this would be for you! Hand-crafted in Santa Monica without the use of large machines, this album just looks like a fairytale! It boasts of three paper options: Sugar Cane paper, which uses the byproduct of sugar cane production, is thick and slightly textured, Eco-matte, which is 100% post-consumer recycled paper, and Fine Art watercolor paper, which is beautifully textured and 100% cotton.:)

They also come in these GORGEOUS reclaimed leather or linen bags!

3. My new pricing guide!
It’s taking me foreverrrr to get it printed, but I’ve finally finished my Pricing Guide! This will be printed as a softcover 11×8.5 book, magazine-style. It contains everything from who I am and my style, to pricing, products, and frequently asked questions. I can’t WAIT for my clients to see it!

4. Bookbook.
Somebody buy this for meeeee! This hardcover leather case for Macbooks by TwelveSouth that looks like an old-style vintage bound book! OooOoh, right up my alley.

5. Tangerines.
I know, this is a really really weird addition to the post, seeing as everything else is all business/tech related. But they are SO GOOD! I had never eaten a tangerine before last week (I am allergic to some types of oranges more than others, so I’m always a little wary), and now I’m obsessed. These little bursts of delight are perfectly sized, not messy, and ten times yummier than regular oranges. NOMNOMNOM!

Guhhh, I think I’m gonna go eat one now.:DHave a FABULOUS day, Interwebz!

ChristenB - Beautiful albums… I may have to look into these in person since Santa Monica is just a quick drive from where I live… So glad I stumbled upon your site since I am from Indiana originally… the photography world keeps getting smaller and smaller. Beautiful images on here… I am excited for you as you have fun with your new camera body! I just got a new lens last week and I am in looooooove… =)

Corinna See - Hi Erin, I was mucking around on the internet and noticed that David Jay gave you props on Twitter. I’m glad I checked out your blog. I’m excited to know about Wild Magnolia Albums. I’m from Santa Fe, New Mexico and just started my wedding photography business last year. Santa Feans love eco friendly stuff, as do I. Thanks for the post! BTW, you create lovely images too!
