SERVICE DETAILS
Weddings
01
Your wedding day is about so much more than the details—it's about the people you love, the emotions you feel, and the moments you'll want to remember forever. My goal is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds while providing gentle guidance when needed, creating timeless images that tell the story of your love with authenticity and intention.
Engagements
02
Your engagement season is a sweet, fleeting chapter—full of quiet moments, big laughs, and the anticipation of what’s ahead. During your session, I’ll gently guide you while leaving room for real connection, so you can simply be yourselves. Together, we’ll create heartfelt, timeless images that feel like you and tell the story of this in‑between season with honesty and joy.
Families
03
Family life is beautifully imperfect—sticky hands, big hugs, and all the in‑between moments you never want to forget. Instead of stiff poses, I focus on connection, play, and genuine emotion so everyone (yes, even the little ones) can relax. Your session will feel like time together, and the images we create will become the kind of memories you’ll treasure for years to come.
Senior Portraits
04
Senior year is a milestone worth celebrating—a moment between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. During your session, I’ll help you feel confident and at ease while we create images that reflect your personality, passions, and style. The result is a gallery of timeless, authentic portraits that feel like you and honor this once‑in‑a‑lifetime season.
05
Branding
Your creative journey is about so much more than a service—it’s about the soul you pour into your craft and the connections you build. My goal is to capture your process as it naturally unfolds, highlighting the artful details of your business with an elevated touch. Together, we’ll create intentional imagery that tells your unique story with authenticity, warmth, and grace.

With You Through Every Chapter
“Erica has been our photographer for so many of our big family milestones! She is so professional and easy to work with, and the photos always turn out gorgeous. We are not naturals at posing and she is great at helping us figure out the best way to organize for natural candid shots. She is the best and I would recommend to anyone!” - Amanda
From "yes" to forever—engagements, weddings, maternity, newborns, and the beautiful family moments that follow.
