" I'm sure it's easy to imagine the wave of
nervousness I felt upon entering Eric's studio for the first time.
Although I had summoned the courage to decide to pose for an intimate
portrait--something I had wanted to do for years--the personal strength I
needed to face the camera was entirely different. But any anxieties I had
soon disappeared and my fears dissipated with the first "click." I
immediately was made to feel at ease by Eric's complete professionalism and
warmth. I was truly surprised at how comfortable I felt and more amazingly,
how much fun I was having!
Perhaps the hardest part of this whole experience was having to endure the
wait as the proofs came back. I think I was more nervous to view the pictures
than with the posing! I was completely speechless as I flipped through the
photos the first time. For as long as I could remember I have disliked every
photo ever taken of myself--excusing the shoddy pictures as my inability of
being "photogenic." But for the first time in my life I saw beautiful photos
that I was pleased with. The photos were tastefully executed and artistically
stunning. This has been an experience that I won't ever forget--and I'll have
a wonderful memento for the rest of my life." M.H.
