LET'S TELL YOUR STORY WITH Heartfelt Imagery

MEET YOUR

Photographer

Hey, I'm Erika!

I believe in capturing the quiet glances, joyful chaos, and heartfelt in-between moments. Using a refined blend of film and digital photography, I offer a documentary approach that’s guided by intuition and intention, capturing it exactly how it was. I lean on light, movement, and settings to document moments that feel dynamic and alive, personal and distinct.  Whether you’re celebrating your wedding day or embracing early motherhood, I’m here to make you feel seen and celebrated.

If you're looking for imagery that’s nostalgic, artful, and intentional... you’re in the right place. I'd be honored to capture your most meaningful memories.

"We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Erika”

Right away, we loved how easygoing and calming her presence was. Weddings can feel overwhelming, but Erika brought a relaxed, confident energy that made everything flow so smoothly. She was incredibly helpful with our timeline, checking in, guiding us through the day, and making sure we stayed on track without feeling rushed or stressed.
