ABOUT ERICA

I'm a hopeless romantic who loves Love! I cannot think of any better job than photographing Love everyday and am so excited to capture special occasions for clients. A wedding is an explosion of love between a bride and a groom, which is shared with their friends and family! Watching a new parent sit with their newborn baby and seeing the love they so intensely have for their child, LOVE! Photographing these moments is my gift and I'm committed to giving my clients the best photography possible of these ever-so cherished moments!

My style is simple. I tell stories through my photographs in an artistic, romantic way and I deeply cherish documenting moments for my clients. Photographs are their reminder of a special occasion, a moment in time and the LOVE that is present every day in ordinary things! I have an editorial/documentary style and my goal is to present photographs that are as true as possible, without being over-processed.

My inspiration is drawn from a variety of places; Travel, antique shops, galleries, museums and my observation of the ordinary life in the world! I love getting lost in a new city, discovering what's around the next corner, never knowing what colors, shapes and surprises await me.

Thank you for stopping by and seeing what's new! I would love to be a part of your next celebration and would LOVE to see what LOVE you have for me to photograph.

Happiness and Love to you!

Erica

Sarah & Nick

Sarah & Nick were married on one of the hottest, humid and beautiful days Minnesota has had to offer so far!
Sarah floated in a satin/lace gown that seemed to be made for her! Bridesmaids wore a shade of blue that noticeably carried the summer setting beautifully!
Nick and the groomsmen remained dapper in gray tuxes!
Thank you...

Amanda & Tim

‘Today is a New Day’
The sun is shining, the sky is blue
There’s a new day dawning for me and you
With every dawning of the sun
New possibilities have just begun
With every breaking of the morn
Fresh opportunities are newly born.

Lovely

Love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
-

It is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
-

Love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive
-

it is...
