Cobble Hill with Love - Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

Cobble Hill is a wonderful neighborhood to photograph in. Its full of character - the gorgeous brownstones, iron gates, blooming flowers, greenery and countless families. This family, in particular, is an integral part of my Brooklyn life and community. I met them over 8 years ago when I moved into their apartment building. My children has grown up with their child - our families, with others, getting together for special occasions, BBQs and Superbowl parties. They are kind, caring and loving. Its a better world with them in it.

Urban Clarity - NYC portrait photographer

A business is about more than making money. Its about delivering excellent service by committed staff to their valued clients. Its about a friendly face solving problems. In their marketing materials, businesses should showcase their staff so that clients really get to know the kind of unique business they have hired. I’m glad this business, Urban Clarity, is as like-minded as me by delivering top-quality personal service. Much success to them!

Embrace your 40s ladies! - NYC Portrait Photographer

I can't get enough of this fabulous session! This is just some of the fantastic highlights but there are so many more portraits that I adore! This session was SO very special to me....particularly because I just turned 43. The 40s is a decade to embrace...its when you are truly learning who you are, its when you have some important life experiences under your belt and its when your life seems pretty full. This absolutely stunning woman exemplifies the beauty of who she is both inside and out. She is an amazing woman, friend, lawyer and wife. She is an especially fantastic role model for her twins - 6 year old son and daughter.

Embrace your 40s ladies! It will be a fabulous decade for all of us! Our natural beauty and character deepen. I'm ready for it with open arms!

Love & Family at the Brooklyn Bridge - Brooklyn Family Photographer

Whether you are an out-of-town visitor or a local New Yorker, the Brooklyn Bridge is a special landmark that everybody wants to photograph. It is full of character and remains a symbol for both Brooklyn and NYC. This family, too, is full of character - present, active and loving parents, a daughter on the verge of adulthood and a vivacious young daughter who adores everyone in her life. It was an honor to photograph this special family in this very unique lively city that I have called my home for 20 years.

Family Love in Cobble Hill - Brooklyn Family Photographer

I love super smile-y, happy and loving families. This particular family of 5 is one of those great families. I have had the pleasure of photographing them a couple of times. Like wine, they get better with age! I can’t wait until next year’s Fall Family Session.

Warm, Welcoming & Wonderfully Healing Acupuncturist Refreshes Her Brand - NYC Branding Photographer

Personal branding photography can have a huge impact on your business and your bottom line.  This wonderful Brooklyn acupuncturist took this to heart when she hired me recently.  You can use your branding photographs in several ways:  place them throughout your website, use them in posts on your social media platforms, place them in your newsletters and e-blasts, use them in press releases about an event or new offering you have, refresh your profile pictures every few months so that people see a new image of you, place them in your sales and web-landing pages, submit an image along with your bio when you have a speaking engagement, put one in your email signature and use them in your printed marketing pieces.  Investing in high-quality, authentic photography is required if you want your visuals to play a crucial role in delivering the personality of your brand.

If you are in need of a fantastic healing acupuncturist, reach out to Sarah Rivkin at Park Slope Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs.  If you are in need of new branding photography, please reach out to me at erin@erinsilber.com. 

Branded Portraits are Essential if you want to Elevate your Presence - NYC Professional Headshot Photographer

Its undeniable...2017 was the Year of the Woman!  There was the historic Women's March on Washington (and all the other many cities around the world), the powerful Sally Yates testimony, the #MeToo movement and so much more.  Local Brooklynite Sally Hubbard, an investigative journalist, has been adding her energy to these pro-female efforts for years but has channeled her expertise with her special podcast Women Killing It!  Through interviews and real-life storytelling with the most fascinating women, Sally uncovers how women are killing it in their careers, about what has worked for them, how they got where they are today and what they wish they knew sooner.  

I am pleased to add to Sally's success with my own photography talent.  Recently, she turned to me to refresh her Women Killing It! image.  A personal branding photography session is a very different experience than a traditional headshot session.  It is a modern & authentic way of marketing yourself and your unique services.  I truly think our collaboration was a huge success...we killed it!  I can't wait to see these new branded portraits in 2018 and to see Women Killing It! expand its reach.  Women Killing It! is a mentorship by podcast.  Its a must listen where women are helping women to unleash their superpowers at work!  Please visit Sally's podcast and learn:  http://www.womenkillingit.com/

Authentic Kids of Brooklyn Celebrate the Winter Holidays - Brooklyn Kid Portrait Photographer

Ended my holiday kid portrait series on an amazing high note. These authentic and happy faces of Brooklyn's next generation "brought it". All day long they made my laugh...they made me smile. It simply was a great day of hard but rewarding work on a recent Sunday. Thank you Prospect Heights! Your future is bright with these kids.

Kids in Need - NYC Photographer

It was a wonderful "back to school" experience across NYC on the very first day of school....especially for a wonderful group of Brooklyn school kids I photographed. The kids were gathered in the auditorium and awaited the BIG surprise. To their delight, The Kids In Need Foundation distributed backpacks and school supplies to every child at school. The excitement and smiles were contagious and I was so happy to be apart of it.

The Kids In Need Foundation’s mission is to ensure that every child is prepared to learn and succeed in the classroom by providing free school supplies nationally to students most in need. Studies show that when kids have school supplies of their own, classroom behavior and grades improve, self-esteem strengthens, and kids develop better attitudes toward school and learning.

Mom's Love

When this girl's mom hired me....all she wanted me to do was to capture her daughter's special-ness.  She regrets not getting more professional photographs of her daughter when she was born now that her little girl is 2 1/2 years old.  She's growing like a weed and is now making up for lost time.  Mom wanted to use this session to shine a light on to her amazing daughter's sweetness and to see how her personality is captured on film.  This mother and daughter team are truly inseparable and she wanted to capture this specific time to remember always.
