I had Erin come to my home and photograph my newborn little girl. It was an incredible experience working with her. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed which is sometimes hard when you have just had a baby. She was patient and understanding along will helping get the most beautiful shots of our new little family. Having her come to our home or meet us at a location (I hope to do this one day!) is another added bonus. The sessions arent rigid and stuffy in a studio, she comes to your home where you are most comfortable! She was quick and efficient with turn around time for us to see the shots and to get the shots so we could pick which ones we wanted to print. Everything was seamless and went so smoothly leading up to the session, during the session, and after the session. We are about to have our 6 month photos with her and we cant wait!!! She does incredible work, finds beautiful shots where you never thought possible. I would highly recommend Erin for not only your family photos, but weddings and any other special events. read more

I have all great things to say about Erin. She was amazing to work with right from the start of our wedding planning. My husband and I originally hired Erin to shoot our wedding in Detroit, Michigan but when our venue fell through we had to change venues... and City...and STATE. Erin was not only willing to travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin but was super pumped to take on a new challenge. She was enthusiastic about being part of our wedding day and a joy to work with. She managed my chaotic family with ease and patience, was able to work well with our young nieces, nephew and our 7 month old daughter...and captured some amazing moments. Not to mention, she found some not-so-typical but gorgeous backdrops for our photos. My husband and I wanted to embrace the historic character of the Third Ward District in Milwaukee and Erin nailed it. I couldn't be happier with the photos, or the experience we had working with her. I recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you, Erin! read more

Where do I even begin? Hiring Erin was one of the best decisions we made with regard to our wedding. Besides being one of the coolest people I've ever met, Erin was always super responsive with communication, a very helpful resource when it came to planning our timeline, and an overall calming and supportive presence on our big day. And I haven't even gotten to the pictures... oh my goodness. The moment I saw our wedding picture preview, I burst into tears. She had managed to perfectly capture our special day and I am forever grateful that we will have these stunning images to remind us of our wedding. We have received COUNTLESS compliments on our pictures and I cannot thank her enough. She is simply the best! read more

Erin is amazing! She photographed a friend's wedding, where she managed to get the only picture of my husband and I that we both actually love. We hired her to do photos of our newborn, knowing that neither of us is comfortable having our picture taken. Erin made the whole session so comfortable, not only for the two of us who are camera shy, but more importantly for our three week old daughter. Erin has a fantastic eye and takes extraordinary pictures. Just as important, she is professional, incredibly easy to work with, and quick to respond to questions and with the finished product. We highly recommend Erin to anyone looking to capture a special moment in your life - you will not be disappointed! read more

Erin photographed my 1 year old son for his first birthday/cake smash pictures in my home - she is very laid back, very patient, and very good with little kids. Not to mention that I LOVED the pictures - I loved every picture - it was so hard to choose which pictures to frame :) Erin also photographed my family in downtown Detroit on the river walk. She was on time (she was there, all set and ready before we even parked), she had awesome ideas for backgrounds etc settings for the pictures - and again , because of her sweet, laid back personality - we had a fun, stress-free session. Again, I LOVED all of the pictures! read more

My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Erin whens he shot our family lifestyle shoot. Erin was easy to get in contact with, responded quickly and simply made us feel that we were the only family she was working with. Her photography speaks for itself. The images he was able to capture of our new family are breathtaking and will last a lifetime. Erin was great to work wit. She was patient with our son, calming and gentle. She made us feel comfortable, which comes across in our images. I would highly recommend everyone to work with Erin. You won't regret your investment, that's a promise! read more

I found Erin just by googling Detroit photographers. I was instantly drawn to the photos on her website and we decided to hire her as our wedding photographer! When we had our engagement session this past spring she made both me and my fiance feel very comfortable behind the camera and we LOVE the photos from our shoot! Throughout our planning she's been super helpful with both photography and non-photography related wedding items! We can't wait to see the images she captures on our big day in November because I have no doubt they will be awesome! read more

We had Erin do our son's newborn pictures and one year pictures (family photos, as well). I was initially drawn to Erin's work because it looked beautiful and natural. And no newborns posed in crazy positions! Just high quality photos that are simple, timeless and capture the mood perfectly. She creates a relaxed environment and makes the session very enjoyable. She is prompt, quick to correspond and turns out the finished photos in a timely matter. I can't say enough good things: book her! read more

Erin is AMAZING!!! She not only captured the exact spirit of our day, but she was so easy to work with and made us (especially my usually photo adverse husband) instantly comfortable. When I saw Erin's work, I knew that I wanted her to capture our day. She is thoughtful, creative, professional, laid back and beyond talented. I am so grateful that she was a part of the most magical day of my life... And she documented it perfectly!! Can't say enough!! read more

My husband and I hired Erin for our newborn photography session. I looked into and spoke with many other photographers before I decided on Erin. I really liked her flexibility and promptness especially when your little one can be quite unpredictable. She was so calming and gentle with our son. The session felt natural and relaxed. We received our proofs quickly and I had trouble picking my favorites. I cannot wait to use Erin again! read more

If I could be friends with any of my vendors -- that would be Erin!!! She's is just overall a PHENOMENAL human being and a dream to work with! I am an extroverted bride and my husband is introverted and she was able to bring him out of his shell and truly capture his sprint!!! We also had an Indian wedding, which is just full of colors and life and she captured every single detail. She's a true gem in a sea of black & white photos! read more

Erin is AMAZING to say the least! My fiancé and I had so much fun during our engagement session with her. We are both a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera but Erin made it so fun and relaxed. Not only did we have way more fun than we imagined, but our photos came out amazing. I can't wait for her to shoot our wedding next year!! Hands down the decision we have made for the wedding. read more

Erin has been taking our family pictures for a few years and I am never disappointed! She works magic with her camera and finds ways to capture beautiful light on gloomy Michigan days and smiles on the faces of cranky toddlers. She is seasoned, professional, efficient and FUN! I wouldn't look elsewhere for a photographer in Metro Detroit! read more

Erin is an amazing lifestyle photographer! We booked our newborn session with her based on her work with a friend, and we were so glad we did! Not only is her work phenomenal, but she is friendly, professional and so easy to work with! She's also a baby whisperer -- our son calmed down instantly when she posed him. Highly recommend! read more

We have used E Schmidt Photography 3 times to photograph our family. Erin is so patient with our two small boys, and has captured their personalities perfectly! Very professional, quick turnaround, and makes everyone so relaxed, your pictures are sure to turn out great! I look forward to the next time Erin comes to photograph us! read more
