Purple Martin Photography by Erin M. Bryan

Purple Martin Photography by Erin M. Bryan I'm a born and raised south Louisiana photographer. I also enjoy doing portraits and helping others to build their brands & portfolios.

I spend most of my time outdoors doing photography, learning about nature and educating others about the natural world. I am passionate about photography and nature! I enjoy learning about the natural world and sharing that knowledge with others. I love meeting knew people who share similar interests. Building trusting client relationships is important to me, whether I'm capturing special moments,

helping chose the perfect decorative art piece for your home, or assisting in growing your brand/portfolio.

When you travel to a breathtaking place, visit with beautifully inspiring people, have so many unbelievable photo opportunities and take thousands of images, it's really hard to choose favorites and only post a few at a time. Here is a photo dump from our 5 days at the Western Territorial in Las Vegas, NM last month. I'm incredibly grateful for the wonderful adventures, love, hospitality and generosity I experienced at this rendezvous. I'm impatiently waiting for the next one we get to attend, but until then I look forward to staying connected with old and new friends, and reliving the memories made on this trip!

I had the best time and greatest honor being the official photographer for the Bayou D'Arbonne Folk Festival in Farmerville, LA earlier this month! I enjoyed being absorbed by the vibe... the music, friendly faces, food, vendors and artisans immersed in their authentic crafts. This fun event was a big success and well put together by the staff and coordinators! Can't wait until next year and stay tuned for more!

Earlier this year I started a pollinator garden in my yard so that I would have more opportunities for macro and wildlife photography. This summer I have really enjoyed the beautiful flowers and critters that pass through. Here are some images taken yesterday with the macro. Identification in the descriptions of the photos. Enjoy!

It has been a fun but busy summer so I haven't been able to post in a while. I wanted to share some of the beautiful people I've had the privilege of photographing these past few months.

At the beginning of the month, I had the opportunity to go back in time. To the time of the fur trade between the 1820s-1840s. Living amongst the wild things, traversing the rugged terrain of the western frontier, and converting to the lifestyle of the American Mountain Man. It was an amazing and inspiring adventure! It was challenging at times, but the mountains and streams called me forth to immerse myself even further into my surroundings.

Went out exploring near home earlier this week. With the water being high, this curious little gator had moved inland and was hanging out in a ditch.
