I'm the photographer you come to when you want to feel natural in front of the camera
(and hopefully forget it’s even there!)
I know how intimidating it can feel to be the sole focal point at a photo session – even when your family or partner is there! Maybe you get anxious and overthink what to do with your hands. Maybe you’re worried about your smile being forced. Maybe you just want to have fun and not even think about being on-camera (hint: that’s where I come in!).
When we work together, you get the kind of photographer who...
Runs around with your kids in a field with the camera continually clicking away
Plays your favorite music playlist to help you loosen up during your senior session
Is your biggest cheerleader, telling you how amazing you look, no matter if you’re snuggling your sweet baby, trying to wrangle toddlers into smiling, or on your own rocking your look!
Gets giddy showing you the back of her camera (because I just can’t wait for you to see the magic we create!)
Acts out the poses so you know exactly what to do with your arms and hands (and don’t feel awkward about it either!)
That’s what I need!
I’ve been around photography my whole life! My grandfather never stopped taking photos. I mean it…I have so many photos of us at Thanksgiving with food stuffed in our mouths LOL! It drove us crazy at the time, but I love seeing all the memories now!
Once I started taking photography in high school, I couldn’t ever let it go. I just kept taking photos of anything and everything I could. And then I received a special gift - my grandfather’s Nikon F3 film camera that he bought in Hong Kong.
I’m Erin!
hey friend,
You could say that photography is in my blood.
I spent a lot of my college days developing film in my spare time. Using my grandfather’s vintage camera to carry on what he enjoyed doing means connecting to my own past and now to my current clients.
While I use a digital camera now, my passion for photography started in the dark room, listening to music with just a faint glow of light while I stood impatiently waiting for the paper to develop.
My family noticed my new love for this art, and they have been encouraging me ever since. To this day, I have both my grandfather and great-grandfather’s cameras sitting on display in my office. I love knowing that I have taken their same passion and continued to make it an important part of my life.

Can we just talk for a quick sec about how I am such a history nerd and classic movie buff?

On a personal note...
Holding onto heirloom photos is so important, and I want to share my love of photography that has been instilled in me by my family.
My grandmother passed away suddenly when I was 15. When we were cleaning out my grandparents' house, we found a ton of photos of me and my grandmother when I would spend time with her. Having those photos, over 20 years later, allows me to be right back in that place with her.
i'm ready to book!
I didn't get enough time with my grandmother, and all I have are pictures. The photos I have of her make me feel peaceful, stronger, at ease and confident.
