Hi everyone...

I wanted to let everyone know that I will be phasing out my Blogspot site as a forum for my wedding photography work. I might continue to post more personal items here, but very little professional work.

Please visit my new blog at www.ericruddphotography.com/blog to stay in the loop on my wedding shoots! And thanks again for visiting!

All the best,
Eric

E-Session: Katie and Lance

Earlier this fall I had the pleasure of shooting Katie and Lance's engagement pics. After traveling out to the family farm, we spent a couple hours running from one great location to the next. I was like a kid in a candy store....great light, great textures, and great fun. Here are a few of my favorites....

Hi everyone! It's been too long since I've posted here. It's been a busy summer...as I'm sure it's been for you as well!

Just finished a shoot with young Luke. Here are some of my favorites....

Kristin and Eric

I had such a great time photographing Kristin and Eric's wedding a couple of weeks ago. We had such a great time as the day went along. And their families were amazing...kind, happy, and fun-loving. I am very honored to have shot their wonderful day. Here are a few of my favorites....

Mozart in the Making

My son, Charlie, cracks me up. Yesterday we spent the day at Grandma's house and had a blast. Charlie loves playing with glasses, cars, balls, and watching Word World. I've been around music my entire life and have been gently encouraging him to explore it for himself. If anything, he certainly looks the part!!!

Little Subject

Recently my wife, Susan, has offered to take care of her hairdresser's cute, adorable, always-busy, devilish boy Bernie. That's him with the twinkle in his eye above. The great thing about having him around is that he's a wonderful portrait victim!!! I love taking pictures of him because he hasn't yet grown bored of the activity. Unlike my own 3 year old, Charlie, who runs every time dad takes out his camera!

Here's to hoping Bernie continues to like posing!!!

A Tender Moment

I recently did an impromptu shoot at my sister-in-law's house. She wanted to get a few pictures of mommy and son. We had lots of fun shooting portraits around the house.

There is such a wonderful bond between a mother and her son. Of course, they do try one's patience at times!!!

Enjoy!

Welcome to "Behind the Frame"

2008-03-17T16:52:00.014-04:00

Hi everyone and welcome to the first post of my new blog.

I started this endeavor as an extension of my wedding photography work. My goal is to build a community....a community of clients, family, and friends with whom I get to spend my life.

It's such a great privilege to take someone's picture. I am honored every time someone asks me. I chose the title of this blog, "Behind the Frame," because I also hope to shed a little light (pun intended) on the people and events that I experience as a professional wedding photographer.

For example, the two folks pictured above...Kristin and Eric (what a great name!). I figure any client that has the same name as me can't be all that bad. Oh, and he's a pilot. So am I! After meeting with them last fall to discuss their wedding, we also decided to take engagement photos to send out to all their family and friends. We spent the day shooting around the IU campus and near a horse farm in the surrounding area of Bloomington, Indiana.

Be sure to check out their blog at http://www.kristinanderic.com/. I think it's a great idea that couples do this sort of thing...it can be an easy way to keep families up to date on the wedding plans and the couple in general. Be sure to click through to their page.

I hope to post as often as time allows. Some of the images and stories here might not be completely wedding-related. I have a two year old son who inevitably will be showing up in posts from time to time. He's just too easy to take pictures of, ya know? But since he's been around dad taking pictures since he was born, he's now more interested in the camera than posing long enough for me to get a shot off. Gotta move fast!

Some other goals this year include an updated website (www.ericruddphotography.com), so please be patient while I work to get that site up to snuff.

Thanks again for visiting and come back soon. Be sure to wish Kristin and Eric congrats when you see them.
