When you fall in love it hits you all at once, at least it did for me. The moment I laid eyes on my two beautiful boys (and yes, they are boys...and they are still beautiful!) I was totally, completely and epically in love with them. Brandon and Brody inspired me to pick up my camera and capture all the little moments on a daily basis. I didn't want to miss anything! From the first bath, to their first steps, I wanted to learn how to capture it all in a unique and beautiful style that would prove to be timeless. I can thank my two little guys for helping me find photography, its truly been an amazing gift and complete passion of mine for the past two years. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
I am a natural light photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, and children's portraiture. In the coming year, I also plan on beginning to shoot weddings! So exciting right? I think so! :) I like to describe my style as fresh, modern and fun. On this blog you will find my most recent work, casting calls and a bunch of other fun surprises. So check back often and thanks for taking the time to check out my work! You can contact me at erin@erintukuaphotography.com, I would love to hear from you!

When two people are in love, its easy to see. Its the gentle smiles, the sparkle in their eyes, the soft embraces, its all so inspiring and magical to see! Jose and Sharie are perfect examples of this magical emotion we call love. They have been dating for years and this past summer Jose finally popped the question to Sharie! I was so thrilled when I met them and they chose me as their photographer for this special day…I knew we’d be a perfect match!
Their wedding day was perfect! Although the rain was pounding earlier in the morning, the sun came out just in time for us to capture some beautiful images of them and their fabulous bridal party at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed during their ceremony, but myself along with all their friends and family were waiting outside the temple to welcome them as Mr. and Mrs. for the very first time!










Does Jose know how to work it or what?

Sharie you are fabulous!














Jose and Sharie, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your big day, I hope you love all the photos as much as I do!
Thanks for looking!

Garrett is one of my favorite little guys ever. He is such smart, funny and sweet little boy. I have loved being able to capture him for the past two years, he has grown and changed so much. Garrett’s Mom, is a really close friend of mine who is a great photographer herself! We have been working since the beginning of the year, teaching her how to take better pictures of her adorable kids. We shot Garrett together for this session, and I am going to make her share some of her pictures on her blog! I had a great time Melissa, I hope you had fun too and I can’t wait to see some of your images!
UPDATE: You can now check out Melissa’s photos from our session together on her photo blog HERE.
Before we start here is one of my favorite pictures of Garrett from his 2 year old shoot, I can’t believe its been a year!

Since last year, Garrett has graduated to a normal sized skateboard, and is seriously the next little Tony Hawk, he has some major skills!











Thanks for looking!
February 15, 2010 - 1:51 pm - Oh, my goodness! Can this kid really be mine? Erin, you always do such a great job. Garrett adores you & shows you his true self, and you capture it so perfectly. Where am I going to put all of these? BEAUTIFUL work! And thanks for calling me out. ;) I'm working on mine.
February 15, 2010 - 2:35 pm - absolutely beautiful work, Erin!!! I can't believe how big G is now-such a handsome young man! =) Melissa is definitely going to have trouble picking a favorite!
