Hello! My name is Erin Porter and I am a digital content creator, photographer, stylist and a visual storyteller who loves to inspire and create thoughtful moments through photography. I am a passionate creative who seeks the beauty and romance of the ordinary. The changing seasons, especially, stir my emotions.
I am a native Texan and live in Austin with my husband and our two young children, Thompson and Marielle. When I graduated from The University of Texas, my parents gifted me a camera of my own. Rarely without it in my bag, I decided to compile my photography and daily musings into a blog. In 2010 I created “Another In-Between Day”— an online collection of the tiny delights that made ordinary days feel remarkably memorable. Although, not currently updated, I have found that this sentiment of appreciating the beautiful, ephemeral moments shapes my daily routine.
The things that make my heart race:
Beautiful vintage jewelry
Blooms from my magnolia tree
Printed dresses
A perfect lattice pie crust
Love notes from my husband
Crusty French bread
Finding a stranger’s makeshift bookmark in a used book, e.g., movie ticket, grocery list, business card
Shirley Temples with extra cherries
Sunday dinners at my parents’ house
The ceremonial viewing of “You’ve Got Mail” on the first cold autumn day of the year
A cup of English Breakfast tea with a splash of milk and sugar
Long “squeezy” hugs from my babies
“Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”
