25: Erin Blinn: What A Photo A Day Helped Me See

When I named this podcast The Family Photographer, I was thinking of someone like today’s guest, Erin Blinn. She is the person everyone in her family counts on the get great photos at family birthdays, milestone moments and the arrival of brand new family members. How does she feel about being the family photographer and how doe she share her photos with her family? Erin joined the 365 Flickr group last summer. I talk with her about what inspired her to start a project and how the doing the project helped her see her life in new ways. Erin now serves as staff photographer for a children’s hospital. Prior to that she was a full time wedding and family photographer. I ask her about why she changed from freelance to 9-5 and what she’s learning about photography at her new job. It was an absolute pleasure to have this conversation with Erin and I’m sure you’re going to enjoy it too. Join us for the next Week of Photos starting September 20.

Your friends and family expect you to bring your camera to birthday parties and holiday dinners. You pick up your camera before the broom when your kids spill flour all over the kitchen floor. You're the family photographer. Every other week, I share my conversations with photographers about their work and their families. How can we take better photos of our family life? Why are we taking all these photos in the first place?
