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
