“Working with Erika is magic, we are so in love with our photos and so grateful to her! At the end of the night, we danced and dipped our way out surrounded by friends, family, and fireworks like a scene out of a storybook. Erika worked tirelessly to create our vision, and really went the extra mile. We cherish our photographs more than anything, and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts.”

The Experience
Beyond the photographs, your experience with me is the most important thing.
I can be in charge when I need to be, and I can blend into the background and mingle with guests just as easily. I’m confident to guide you, pose you, and wrangle your aunts and uncles for family pictures. I’ve shot weddings with 800 people, and elopements with just two. You can feel confident that the images from your wedding day will be a combination of beautiful portraits, and intimate, candid moments.
“Thank you for being a true light in our wedding process. We’ve gotten such rave reviews and compliments on our pictures. We loved you and your work from the moment we met you. My mom talks about you like you’re an old family friend! I wish there were more ways to say thank you and express our gratitude.”

Weddings & Elopements
-
After all the time spent dreaming and planning, worrying about photography is the last thing you should be stressed about. I’ve shot weddings five minutes from my house, and weddings in locations that took 3 days to get to. I’ve been traveling internationally, and navigating airports and unfamiliar cities for over twenty years.
Whether you have 10 guests or 400, feel confident that you’ve hired someone to shoot your wedding who knows what they are doing, who will put your family and guests at ease, and who wants you to have the time of your life.
“I have one single polaroid from my parent’s wedding. Though its beautiful, it doesn’t tell a story or share an experience. It stands alone. Wedding photos aren’t for right now, they’re for 20 years from now, for your kids and their kids. I want you to love your photos right away, but the real magic comes when you see them turn into stories you share with your children.”

Destination Weddings
-
I am always ready to celebrate anywhere in the world your wedding plans take you. For every destination, I arrive at least one day before your event. Air travel can be tricky, flights can be delayed, rerouted and cause unnecessary stress. Arriving early ensures I don’t miss anything. I take time to explore your venue, and develop an understanding for the local culture so I am able to reflect it in your images in an authentic, true to life way.
Let’s travel together!

Family Portraits
-
These are the stories of your family. I create imagery with feeling, that show connection with the people in your life. I love family images that feel real and natural, not posed. For me, a perfect portrait is one that is an authentic reflection of you and your family.
I offer family sessions both in studio and on location. Newborn sessions are all photographed in studio.
“Erika captured our personalities, and the joy of the day perfectly. Her professional, fun-loving energy really helped us relax and be ourselves. It was a long day, but Erika didn’t miss a moment, she truly captured our journey.”

Editorial
-
Editorials give me the opportunity to live out the places, people, and fashion that inspire me. It lets me create without boundaries, and bring what I envision in my imagination to life. I love working with other creatives on projects, and I’m always open to brainstorm new concepts to bring to life. If you’re interested in working with me, send me an email below!
