BEYOND THE LENS

Hi, I’m Erica!

You’ll quickly get to know me as your biggest hype girl, built-in cheerleader, and new bestie—here to help you feel like the most confident, radiant version of yourself!

I live for R&B music, small intimate concerts, deep dives into documentaries, grounding my thoughts through journaling, hardcore crafting, and somehow managing to read a 400 page book in under 24 hours. By day, I’m a Registered Nurse. By night, I’m chasing connection, stories, and meaningful moments through my lens. Above all else my proudest, and most complex, role is being a Mother.

I found my way back to school in my mid-to-late twenties to pursue nursing, driven by a deep desire to help others discover their inner strength and navigate life’s most challenging moments. Photography found me as the creative outlet I didn’t realize I needed. It gave me a way to channel my energy, embrace joy, and be part of moments that celebrate genuine happiness! I am the most authentic version of myself when I am creating. I believe we don’t pause nearly enough to honor our inner beauty. My purpose is to help you truly see your beauty by celebrating your story and the moments in life that matter most. Sometimes stepping outside your comfort zone and seeing yourself through someone else’s lens is exactly what it takes to recognize how beautiful, deserving, and special you truly are!

I believe every season of life deserves to be documented and honored and I feel deeply privileged to be invited into these moments; trusted to preserve your story with care and intention.

At heart, I’m a true girls’ girl. I thrive on meaningful friendships, genuine conversation, laughing until I cry, and long talks over a good charcuterie board and wine— all while keeping it real! You know I'm living my best life when you find me parked in a beach chair at the ocean for hours with the SPF working overtime.  I move through life leading with love and empathy, keeping my competitive spirit alive as I strive and grow daily to become the best version of myself. 

During our sessions, expect to laugh, sing, dance, and fully be in the moment! My goal is for you to forget the camera is even there—though that might be tough when I’m cheering you on and yelling, “okay queeeeeen!” as your magic unfolds.

We all carry a light that deserves to shine. I’m here to capture you and your loved ones in your most natural, genuine moments through images you’ll carry with you for a lifetime. I want you to walk away from our session feeling bold, confident, and deeply connected to your beauty and story!

Thank you for trusting me with your moments. Let’s shine!

  • "Erica is truly amazing. We had our fall family pictures done with her, and they turned out absolutely beautiful. She was incredibly patient and attentive—especially with our kids—and made the entire experience feel easy and fun. Erica is so talented at what she does and genuinely cares about her work and the people she’s working with. The results speak for themselves. My husband and I can’t recommend her enough."

    —Elanor 

  • "I’ve known Erica for over 20 years, and I can confidently say she has an incredible eye and a true natural talent for photography. She has photographed our own family, and her ability to connect with families and children is something you notice right away. Erica creates a comfortable, relaxed environment that brings out genuine smiles and authentic moments, resulting in photos that feel warm and timeless. I can’t recommend her enough!"

    - Kelsey

  • "We used Erica for our daughter's one-year photos and also did a family shoot at the same time. Erica came right to our backyard where our girls were comfortable. Our three-year-old was a little apprehensive at first, but Erica put her right at ease. By the end, she was even doing her own little photo shoot! Our pictures came out absolutely magical and captured our family in such a sweet way. I have already recommended Erica to friends and family. You will not be disappointed!"

    - Kenna

  • "Erica exceeded our expectations. She went above and beyond to ensure we all felt comfortable and confident while being photographed, which is huge for me—especially postpartum. I truly feel that her ability to calm nerves and allow you to be yourself shines through her work. What stands out the most is her ability to tweak poses and the way she confidently intervenes to ensure everyone is looking their best. I've never had a photographer do this in such a meaningful way. There wasn't a single minute that felt rushed, even with a time cut-off. You can tell that she wants you to love your photos and feel at ease during the process. Accommodating, professional, and overall so fun. We can't wait for our next shoot! Everyone that I've recommended her to is obsessed with her work! She tailors the photos to YOUR style, not just hers."
