Photographer

Hey, I'm Erika!

I believe in capturing the quiet glances, joyful chaos, and heartfelt in-between moments that tell your real story. Using a refined blend of film and digital photography, I offer a documentary approach that’s classic, artful, and deeply intentional. 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 heartfelt—you’re in the right place. I’d be honored to document your most meaningful memories.

Words can't describe how thankful i am for erika, but I'll try!

The day before our wedding, our planned photographer had a medical emergency and could no longer photograph or day. Our wedding coordinator posted an SOS on socials and Erika volunteered to take on the role of our wedding photographer, the day before! It was the best thing that ever happened to us. Erika was beyond sweet and such a joy to have around all day. She captured every moment with such care and attention. We even received a sneak peak just a couple days later, and the photos are beyond gorgeous!! Working with Erika on your wedding day is an absolute must! Thank you for everything!
