  "Erin. Oh, Erin. There is no greater inspiration or role model in the entire world.
  
  She is the most lovely, inspiring, beautiful, strong, passionate, and talented person I know.
  Her heart is so big. There is no one more kind or caring, no one who wants you to feel happy more than Erin does.
  She honestly puts others first.
  
  Her photography is like no other. Her style is unmistakable. The tones and light in all of her photos could take a person's breath away.
  
  I also absolutly adore her sketching.
  
  Her writing is so powerful. The beauty and truth in her words is perfect.
  
  Overall, Erin is one of the greatest, most taleneted, person (and one of the greatest Christians) I've had the privelage to "meet". I'm honored to follow her.
  
  You're amazing, Erin. Never stop."

  "Erin Rena, words cannot possibly come close to describing how much i love and appreciate you. You are such a talented free spirit, and i love exploring your stream, at the moment you are going through a rough patch, but i want you to know i am always here for you.
  
  You have impacted my life dramatically, and you inspire me with every photograph you capture, and every word you speak. I hope to see your photographs, and words for many years to come because i couldn't imagine Flickr, minus Erin.
  
  I thankyou for being a part of my life, and letting me be a part of yours, i love you very much. Indiana."

  "Erin Rena's photography is a complete inspiration to me - her techniques, her concepts, and her words are touching beyond belief and not easily forgotten. She has such a big heart, which is incredibly evident in her work, and thrives off the feeling of helping the ones around her, as well as herself. It takes courage to let people know how you feel, not to mention acknowledging one's own feelings, and because Erin does this so much it is clear that her photography is a completely expressive of herself and not something done half-heartedly. I can't image someone seeing Erin's photostream and not coming across something they can't relate to - it's astounding to think that one person can make such a impact on the one's around them, not to mention doing so through the internet.
  
  Erin Rea, your art is so wonderful and there is no doubt in my mind that you will go far in life. All I have to say is that if you ever quit photography, I will be quite angry with you :] Keep up the amazing work!"

  "Erin Rena...where do I begin? There is so much that I could write. But would it do her and her photography justice?
  
  First of all, Erin, no matter how much she may deny it, is an amazing person. She is so open with her feelings. The things she writes? Incredible. And so relatable. Erin is a very strong person and is an inspiration. She is a beautiful person inside and out.
  
  Erin's photography is practically in-explainable. It stands out from all of my other contacts. It is her own and so, so inspiring. Completely beautiful.
  
  I don't even know how else to explain it. Amazing. So, so, so amazing."

  "I'm sure you all know Erin Rena, and how amazing she is. An inspiration, someone who's always there to help.
  
  I first came across her photostream a few weeks ago, and I was immediately captivated. I can't tell if it was her photos or her words, maybe both. Her images are beyond amazing, there's no word that can describe it. I'm sure you all feel the same. Looking at Erin's images, I feel emotions I never knew I was able to feel before. That's how wonderful her photos are. When she uploaded a picture of her sketch, a thousand people out there immediately grabbed a pencil and started sketching: that's how inspirational she can be.
  
  Her words moved me. Her writings made me cry, smile, feel. She is the most selfless person I have ever known. Beautiful, inside and out. I have no idea such person existed in this world.
  
  Thank you, Erin. Thank you for being you. Your presence makes the world a better place.
  
  So, go, now. What are you waiting for? Go and follow her amazing work of art, flip through the pages in her book, read the things she has written on her blog. Your life will never be the same."

  dreams at heart says:

  "I’ve wanted to write you testimonial for a while now but I never quite know how or where to start, because your photos would just speak a thousand words of what a wonderful person you are, and my words will only be a reiteration of those and what others have already said.
  
  I was stunned the day you added me as a contact, even intimidated. But that soon transformed into feelings of awe (still stunned though) as I looked through your stream, your photos are absolutely beautiful in its most raw and honest form. You always have a way of capturing the little simple things and make it magnificent, infused with emotions and beautiful meanings which I aspire to understand. I treasure your words as much as your photos, you can always say so much with so little and each time there’s this thoughtful message about life that prompt me to ponder for a while.
  
  And then, along the way I found out what a lovely, selfless person you are. I don’t know you that well but I can tell you’ve the kindest and most gentle soul; there’s something about you that’s so genuine and trusting that makes even complete strangers open up to you. You inspire me to try and be a better person, to create art with emotions and pursue my dreams fearlessly.
  
  ‘Photography with a purpose’ you mentioned once, and that’s exactly what you’re doing. Through your photography, you pass messages of hope, faith, love and positivity. You and your photos inspire me much more than I can say. You might not know it, but whenever I feel at a loss, I’ll silently browse through your stream (and now your blog too), trying to gain perspectives again. It’s without a doubt that you’ve touched many, many lives all over the world with the voice you have here.
  
  Erin, YOU make a positive difference in this world and people’s lives, that’s something many long to achieve in their lifetime and you’ve already accomplished it - just by being yourself and following your passions. That’s a grand achievement, be proud of who you are. :)
  
  In short, you’re an absolute awe-inspiring person.
  
  I do hope you’ll never stop creating art, be it photography or sketching (and of course upload it here, because we’ll surely miss you so if you don’t). My best wishes will always be with you on whichever path you’re travelling through. I truly believe that you’ll go very far.
  
  Thank you for existing.
  ♥"

  "I have been admiring Erin's photostream for a quite a while now and I think it's time I write her a testimonial :). her photos are always inspiring and full of emotion. I haven't spoken to her much at all, but I can tell that she is a very kind and caring person. even with the simplest photo, she never goes wrong, she always makes it perfect. I'm so glad I have her stream to look to when I need inspiration, she is truly amazing."

  "Dear dear Erin,
  We don't know, how we can start in this testimonial...We think there isn't an appropriate word, which describe your photography!
  We‘re fascinated about how you see the things, your Creativity and so much more things. You have one of the best photostream, we've ever seen. You can be proud of yourself.
  We‘re speechless!
  Keep it up, Vanessa & Christin"

  "I added Erin as a contact a while ago and I'm so glad she added me back. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to write this so-deserved testimonial.
  
  Erin, from one point of view is an awesome photographer. Her pictures, doesn't matter how simple they are, always have her touch in them. A special touch. It's her style and that's what makes her so special.
  
  From another point of view, she's a truly inspiration. But I believe not only for me but for each one of her flickr-followers. Even if she doesn't write long descriptions, you can always see or guess the meaning behind her pictures and let me tell you, she's got meaningful pictures.
  
  Erin, don't ever change your way of being. Your photography is special, so are you and there's a flickr family here that loves your flickr.
  
  - Camila"

  "Erin Rena.
  Words aren't pliable to describe what I think of her.
  I don`t remember how I found her stream.
  But i`m so happy I did.
  Her photographs are so inspiring.
  And so is her life. She has such impeccable talent; and doesn`t even realize it.
  We are more alike then I ever could have guessed. In so many ways.
  Our hurts; and downfalls. And even our upliftings.
  I was so.. Shocked, to see a comment from someone with a stream and talent and accomplishments such as hers on one of MY pictures. And she liked them. She is one of very few here on flickr who encouraged me to keep doing what I love. And is an inspiration how much of an impact we leave on people`s lives. How we are a difference to somebody. And I want her to know i`m thankful for that. And i`m here for her."

  "Erin, the more I've talked to you the more I see your true self. Your kindness and encouragement is so wonderful. You are a truly strong person and I find that so inspiring. I hope that you never stop doing what you're doing and never stop being who you are. I hope you never leave my life.
  
  Erin and her work is amazing, I may have not known her or her amazing work as some of her contacts, but whenever I look at her stream, it just keeps making me come back and just gets me hooked over and over again. I love reading her descriptions, her words in itself are incredible. I think that Erin will just keep getting better and she'll show the world something that's so very special. Erin I hope that this finds you well, you're a very talented individual and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Your style is just so inspiring, keep up the amazing amazing work. :DDDDDDDDDD"

  " I have put off writing this testimonial for far too long now.
  
  Erin the Photographer:
  Erin is such an incredible photographer. Incredible isn't even a strong enough word. I do not think there is a word, at least there isn't one in my vocabulary, that describes how positively astonishing her work is. With her photographs she inspires so many people including myself. The feelings and themes that come out of this girls photos tug at my heart strings and effect me in such a personal way that I thought could never even be possible. The color and tones this photographer uses is beyond beautiful. Her composition and processing skills have kept me up for days without sleep trying to figure out how in the world she does such incredible things with her already incredible photographs. I just can't believe my eyes when I see her photos. Her photos have such a vintage feel to them I love them. She could seriously snap a shot of a bare wall and make it the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever seen. I wish I could see the world through her eyes. It must be a beautiful place. Descriptions, oh her descriptions. She always, always, ALWAYS has something so positive and uplifting to say that you can't help, but end up with a grin on your face and feel a little inspired to do something with your life. The way she knows how to string words together to create the most beautiful sentences is just plain incredible.
  
  Erin the 'Sketch' Artist:
  Just like her camera, her pencils, pens, ect. is just another extension of her body. I know she has only teased us with the things she can do with these utensils, but already her work is astonishing. Her hand bone and hip bones sketches are truly gorgeous. The way she also uses her sketch genius such as, using her hand bone sketch on her own hand to make such a beautiful stop motion video is just incredible. This girl is so amazingly multitalented, it's insane. With her sketches she inspires so many people to just pick 'it' up and try. I can only hope that she chooses to share more of her beautiful sketched with us all.
  
  Erin the Person:
  Erin the person. What is there to say that most of you do not already know? She is so unbelievably kind. If you are having a hard time, or going through something message her, she is a terrific listener. More than just a listener, she understands, so understanding! Erin is so uplifting and so very inspiring, ugh, I am so aggravated that I can not come up with words that truly define what a truly immaculate person this girl is. She has helped me personally in so many ways, so many times. I wish there was some way to repay her. She gives so much and truly wants nothing in return and to me that makes her the most beautiful person in the world.
  
  ....Erin, I appreciate you. The world appreciates you.
  Thank you for existing!"

  "I've been wanting to write you a testimonial since we started talking. And I've held off because of not knowing what to say. Now I've decided I will just write and see where I end up. But I don't want to do this third person. Because I'm talking to YOU. So here goes... First off, you amaze me. I have never met anyone so humble and compassionate as you are. I think you know I think that already though. And really, your photography is incredible. There's so much emotion contained within each shot, and I find myself waiting for your next post, because what you have to say is so valuable. I know that every word you've written has a purpose; there's not one that is wasted. And I also know that when you do speak it is usually to build people up, and make them feel better about themselves. That kind of selflessness is so admirable, and I only wish I could replicate it in myself. If ever a girl wanted a role model, you'd fit the bill so perfectly.
  And then there's your story. Goodness, but it gives me hope! You're beautiful, kind and gentle and you have met a guy who loves you exactly the way you are, something that I think every girl wants. Your story shows that it is possible to love and be with just one person and for it to work out, and that gives me strength every day.
  You're an endlessly talented person Erin. And everything you do is glorifying the King, whether you realise that or not.
  Keep moving forward into His plans, because they're huge and intricate beyond anything you could ever imagine.
  And keep being you. I love you"

  "Erin Rena. I honestly don't know where to start. She is so brilliant. In every way.
  Not only is she an inspiring, talented photographer but is also one of the most motivating people I have discovered here on flickr.
  Erin is always so very encouraging, no matter who you are, no matter how many views/comments/contacts you have. It doesn't matter to her.
  Although she is so popular here on flickr, she will support others (like myself) who are just starting out and finding their feet. I thank you so much, Erin, because every time I get a comment from you it makes my heart flutter because I know that you have taken the time to look at my work. That is so meaningful to me.
  I've struggled through these past few months from various devastating things in my family and with myself and my own self-belief and strength.. which hopefully one day I will discuss to Erin about (because she is also a brilliant person to talk to about your feelings, as I have heard from other flickr members) and her work, always makes me happy. It makes a bad day, into a genuine good one. Just the pure emotion and the way she puts herself into her art.
  Thank you so much, Erin.
  Please never give up doing what you do.
  You inspire me. So much."

  "I just noticed, that you have me as a contact, and the smile on my face was ridiculous.
  
  My dear, you are royalty to me. You are so talented, words cannot describe. Every photo that you manage to take, leaves me practically speechless. Do not ever let anyone tell yu that you are not beautiful, both inside and out.
  
  You never fail to have something to say; every single photo, with every single description, leaves me in awe, you're amazing, and you're such a positive girl, with such a great outlook on life.
  
  Every single time you comment me, I cannot help but smile.
  
  You're so talented, and I know that you will get very far. I am going to help you get far, by supporting you, buying your book and always commenting on your photos.
  
  Keep up the AMAZING work Erin, you're so talented."

Every single time I click on the Flickr icon in my Favorites and scroll down to the Recent Uploads I hope so much that Erin has uploaded another masterpiece.

  "I wanted to write you a testimonial, Erin, but I felt as if it would just be one of many and would get lost amongst the others. But you deserve a million testimonials.
  Plus, I reckon that mine will easily be the longest. Because I don't do short.
  Whenever someone adds me as a contact, I tend to check their work out. Normally, they're not amazing photos, but still pretty good. I looked at your stream, and thought to myself "she must have pressed the button as a mistake." Because your stream was just... Amazing. Breath taking. And then as I started talking to you more, I realised that you're equally as good a person. I know; this should be about your photos but you deserve be told how amazing you are.
  And I know that my words are just a drop in the ocean towards what you have already classed as a lost cause, but I want to make you love yourself. Because no matter how much you dislike who you are; I genuinely think you are perfect. God, the things I would give just to be a tiny bit like you. Because you're beautiful; no fakery, just naturally beautiful which is so rare and you have that so be proud. You can take photos that can be so simple, with simple editing and they are just so simply breath taking. And I can't evens tart to describe your sketching.
  You may not love yourself, but I hope that you will start having that little bit of love for yourself soon. Because that's the way you were born, that's all you're going to have so you might as well take advantage of who you are and what you were born as and just love who you are.
  You're one of the nicest people I've ever had the chance to meet and I wish there was more people like you in the world. Appearance doesn't even compare to being a good person. And you're really once of the most amazing, most inspiring people to exist.
  So just love yourself and what you do. And listen to us; there's so many beautiful things on this website written about YOU. So love yourself as much as we love you because you are, excuse my language, fucking amazing."

  I cannot believe I haven't written you a testimonial. Really? I suck.
  Basically, you inspire me. Not only with your talent (although that's a huge part) but just YOU. You, as yourself, you inspire me. You are so good, and kind, and all you want is just love. It gives me hope, and faith in the human race, that people like you exist.
  Your photos are so beautiful, always, and they always touch my heart. They strike a chord in me that doesn't happen too often. You capture emotion and portray it perfectly.
  I don't really have words to describe how amazing you are, so I'll stop here. But you are an inspiration, Erin. You are the epitome of beautiful, and I thank you for that."

  "I've wanted to write Erin a testimonial from the day I found her stream, but never quite knew what to say.
  
  She is just lovely in every way.
  Her photos are so obviously brilliant, yet she still doesn't realize how good they really are. She gets gazillions of comments, yet she's still humble about her abilities.
  Erin's photos grab at your emotions in a way words can't describe, they just leave you with this wonderful feeling that everything is going to be okay. Life is worth living after all :) She is encouraging and thoughtful, talented and beautiful. Inside and out.
  She puts a lot of thought into everything she does. Each photo is perfect in it's own way. I adore her use of natural light, and her unique editing style.
  
  Please don't ever stop taking pictures, Erin. You are such an inspiration to everyone around you."

  "Erin,
  
  I can't tell you how glad I am to have met you (on flickr, anyway). No, I haven't properly "met" you, but I know that you such an amazing person. You're the most humble person I think I've ever come across. And so extremely appreciative of every thing - no matter how small. And then there's just how supportive and loving you are to all of your contacts. You've helped me tremendously, already - with photography, and personally. I know there are tons of other people that would agree, as well.
  
  And then there are your photos. What can I say? I get extremely excited whenever I get on Flickr and see a new photo from you - they never fail to inspire me, or give me hope, or make me smile. They are all so meaningful and they make an impact. Soon enough, when your book arrives at my front door, I'll be able to get the same inspiration and hope from it at anytime. :).
  
  Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!
  You are amazing. Never forget that!

  "Erin,
  I have been meaning to write you a testimonial for a long time now...I just never seem to find the words I want to say. The truth is, where do I start? Your photography is so compelling because of who you are as a person. Thank you for constantly providing "hope for the lonely". Your images, made even more special by your words, are a true reflection of sincerity. You share your soul and I think that is why so many people, including myself, connect with you and your photos. There is such an organic tenderness to your photos. The way you harness natural light is magical and adds an air of optimism and hope to all your images. Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your words, thank you for your friendship and support, and last, but definitely not least, thank you for your inspiration.

They have such powerful concepts that I can always relate to, and she expresses emotions wonderfully through her photos.

  "I don’t remember when I first started looking at Erin’s stream, but I know as soon as I did I was hooked. When I saw on her profile that she said to flickr message her, to tell her your secrets, I knew somehow that she was special. I sent her a message not really expecting her to respond but she did! Erin is not only an extremely talented photographer she is a most delightful, compassionate person and I feel honored to know her. Every photo that Erin takes is so full of emotion, passion, it just drips from every one. I have no idea how she does it, but even the most simple photo is such an expression and so full of emotion. Each one of her photos speaks to me on a different level. The messages in her photos are so strong. She is an inspiration to so many people, including me, and I’m very proud of her.

  all the emotions you display in each picture, all the loveliest descriptions, the most thought provoking ideas, the delicate beauty - they inspire me so, so much.
  i am so proud that you are publishing a book, though i wasn't really surprised :P because i knew it would happen. i can't wait to see it when it comes out.
  never stop taking pictures, because that would be like asking one of the brightest stars in the sky to stop shining.
  keep up the wonderful pictures!

  So now I have to say....your pictures, your text and especially your editing are just...wow!
  Your stream got me wondering about a lot of things and I would say your pictures changed my way of thinking for some reasons and I grateful for that! Thank you :)

Not only is she so talented, but her photos have a way of making you want to go back to them, to look at them over and over again, to fall in love with them. They make you look inside yourself and really think. They cause you to question. They make you feel inspired.
  Not only are her photos beautiful, but Erin is a beautiful person herself. She's so humble and so friendly, and is just a wonderful person to know. I'm so glad I came across her photo on Explore that day, as I always look forward to seeing what her next upload will be."

You manage to take me into other worlds through the photos you create. Your ideas are unique and refreshing but also a simple picture can touch my heart.
  Thank you for expressing your faith in our Father through your photos.

  "This is my first Flickr testimonial, so I might not do a very good job, but here it is.
  
  Erin is one of those skilled photographers who have the ability to make even ordinary objects look interesting and yet she greatly underrates her photos; her work shows lots of creativity and both her words and images convey a lot of emotion, particularly the portraits of her husband and her.
  She's also a thoughtful, kind Flickr friend who took the time to write quite a few encouraging words about my work, simply because she's a nice person.
  
  Thanks again, and keep up the good work, Erin!"

  "i wish i could explain the extent to which erin has inspired me, but i don't think i could ever put it into words. there's always a meaning behind her pictures; that's obvious at first glance. but when you really look at them, you can find so much more. i could spend hours looking through her stream, because each one makes me feel something. but instead of stopping there, erin adds quotes or song lyrics that never fail to make me wonder. looking through her stream is like taking a trip through your memories; they help you learn more about yourself and about life. thank you, erin, for always inspiring me :)"

  "Miss Erin Rena,
  
  It is long past time for me to write you a testimonial. From the moment I entered the world of your photostream, I have been blown away, time after time, by everything about you. The simple grace and elegance that is found in each of your photos is something rare and beautiful. You have a special touch when you edit that draws the viewer into your photo and into a small piece of your life. Whenever you leave a comment on on anything, you have nothing to give but praise, encouragement, and uplifting words. The love you have for God and for your husband also brings light and sunshine to everything you do.
  
  Not only do you have a beautiful spirit, you also have a beautiful heart.
  
  You are my happiest inspiration.
  
  Thank you, for everything."

  "I am re-doing this. I don't quite know why. haha
  
  Erin added me as a contact a while ago and has been inspiring me ever since. Her use of lighting, emotion, poses, words, and composition blow my mind. I wish she saw how truly beautiful and amazing she is. She is an angel who will take time out of her busy day to give advice and feedback to a young, unnexperienced photographer who truly adores her. To say that I admire her is an understatement. It makes my day getting feedback from her because she is always so sweet and inspiring. She is an amazing contact to have.
  
  Plus, the pictures of her and her husband are absolutely adorable. :)"

  "Anyone who follows Erin would know and agree with me when i state that she is one of the most amazing people here on flickr!
  I feel a really special bond to her stream, not only because she is such a kind hearted person, but because her images portray such emotion that i literally start getting tears in my eyes. The images she captures can show you the raw emotion she wants to put across to you, she is so talented, and i am so happy i can call her my friend. She is such an inspiration to a lot of people here on flickr, and i can easily say that she has inspired me so much. She brought a smile to my face in some of the hardest times i've been through. Definitely one of my favourite contacts, she deserves so much happiness, i hope she never doubts herself, and she knows that we are all here for her!"

  "You wrote, "Tell me your stories. Tell me your secrets."
  Your pictures are full of so much emotion, so much power. They tell your stories. They tell your secrets.
  
  So I decided it was time to tell mine.
  My secret is that right now you're my biggest flickr inspiration.
  My secret is that I check your stream multiple times a day.
  I always read your descriptions, because they show me pieces of who you are. Beautiful pieces. You're so honest, and so full of positive things to say to and about people.
  My favorite images are the ones with you and your husband(is it?). They make me smile. They make my heart happy. They make me hope and dream for the day when that kind of love will be mine.
  I value your comments on my pictures so much, because I'm nowhere near where you are photography-wise, yet you take the time to encourage me.
  
  Your love for simple beauty shines through in your photography.
  Your love for others shines through.
  Erin Rena, you inspire me."

  "Erin Rena. What can I say? Erin added me as a contact and I fell in love with her pictures from the first time I looked at her Photostream. I even messaged her saying how I wondered if she would help me and give me advice about my pictures and felt like a complete nerd after I sent it! Not only has she been inspiring to me through her pictures on Flickr, but I honestly consider her one of my "Flickr Friends." She is never negative about a picture and is so easy going when she comments. Her pictures are amazing, and I'm not lying when I say that she is my photography idol, and I want my pictures to be just like hers. Erin, you inspire me more than words can express! Also, you and your husband are so stinkin' adorable!! You're a beautiful girl with an amazing talent, and no one can ever change that :)"

You have a way of working in a wonderful light in every shot, an amazing set of tone in every photo, and may I please not forget to mention the brilliant colors? I enjoy visiting your stream and learning about you through your 365. You truly seem like a lovely and enduring person to be around! Thank you for all your feedback and being such a great Flickr Friend! I thought I'd stop by and turns out I've been on your stream all afternoon! Your work is precious and so good, it's unreal! I can't wait for your next upload already! Anyways, you are beautiful miss Erin! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!~"

And it's not just any ordinary photo, she lets you feel the true story behind it, and that's how a true artist captivates people. :) Never give up on your passion. It makes you who you are. :)"

  "From the second I browsed Erin's photography I was awe-struck, and from that moment on I took the time to examine every photo with an eye for detail, and I must say, I have yet to find a flaw in her work. Her raw, beautiful talent is completely captivating. I find her style of shooting and outlook on the world marvelous. Her photographs reflect the reason I want to take pictures myself. With so many editing programs, effects, and equipment I find it extremely difficult to find a photographer who takes organic photos that relate to every day life, and Erin is nothing short of that. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Erin seems like one of the only photographer's left with any hint of true, raw passion. I could keep going, but I'm afraid I'd talk in complete circles... basically, I can't wait for more of this talented lady!"
