At the beginning of 2013 I made the commitment to blog more and now here we are – 50 blog posts this year! I am hoping to double that number in 2014. The photos above are a compilation from my photography business Erica Baker Photography which I relaunched in August 2013. These past 4 months as a full time photographer and 12 months of blogging have been quite an adventure. I …
2013 was a year of travels. We are blessed to have such amazing friends, families, and clients around the country and world. This year we decided to share 13 cities in 2013. We asked my brother Chris, a graphic designer, to help out with the card (you might remember his work from last year, see it here). We wanted to share our experiences with everyone and knew that a card …
Last week I shot photos for AOneEight Import’s new website. I cannot wait to show you their beautiful new products or the photos, but for now I will show you a few behind the scenes views from our shoot. I had an incredible crew who made shooting easy and a lot of fun. Maegan designed some beautiful sets and her set masters, Ashley and Jenilee kept the shoot running and …
Last month I wrote about my birthday trip to New York City and how much fun Dave and I had exploring the city. I did not take my camera out too much during the weekend (mostly because we were lugging our overnight bags around and I just didn’t have my hands free) and shot primarily on my iphone. However, when we first arrived into Penn Station around midnight I took …
I love markets. We have seen a big resurgence of farmer’s markets here in Washington DC and I love walking up the street to my neighborhood market on Saturday mornings. There is something special about the way a market creates a safe space for both neighbors and strangers to interact. One of my favorite parts of traveling is visiting markets around the world – and the markets of Thailand did …
Saying goodbye to fall is never easy for me (I just love the season so much), but I thought I would share a few of my fall views from my iphone camera as a proper farewell. I haven’t been as good about taking phone photos over the last few months but I am going to try and work on it this winter. All photos were taken on my iphone and …
In 2012/2013 Brandon Bray and I created a short documentary called “Let Us Begin.” The film chronicles the recalibration of the Porter family, after their lives are interrupted by Debbie Porter’s diagnosis with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) on May 18, 2009. At this time, there is no known cure for ALS, and while life expectancy of an ALS patient averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, those …
A few weeks ago I posted about a film shot in Panama. These photos/videos give a quick peek behind-the-scenes of the production. It’s amazing how many stories you create while filming in another country. I only wish we could share them all with the audience. The final product is only a fraction of what we experienced, and unfortunately, the film is only a fraction of the footage we shot. May …
We got a great nights sleep after our first day in Chiang Mai and woke up to a huge breakfast delivered to our door. We always love complimentary room service. We signed up to visit an elephant park where we were told we would learn to ride elephants bareback and then wash our elephant in the river. We didn’t realize that we had signed up for a full day of other …
We had such a lovely time in Chiang Mai. At the end of this day I looked at Dave and said “this may rank as one of my favorite days of my life yet.” I don’t know exactly what it was, but the people just seem to make you feel at home in their city. We took an all night bus from the village in Khon Kaen to Chiang Mai …
