Maternity, newborn, and wedding photo shoots

We have been fortunate to have three fantastic experiences with Erin - maternity, newborn, and wedding photos. Erin made every experience incredibly comfortable. Honestly, it felt like we’d been friends for a decade. She was excellent at capturing us and our personalities, and who we are together as a couple. We also have a nephew for whom the standard wedding family portraits were not going to work, and she went out of her way to find his moment to shine and capture gorgeous, unforgettable photos with him. When our wedding day ran into some unexpected road bumps, she helped distract us with an outdoors photo shoot that helped us stay at ease. Erin just so seamlessly blended into each of our photo experiences and effortlessly captured the most beautiful photos that truly showed our love and light. From a technical standpoint, she really understands lighting and framing and you never have to worry about her missing a moment. We cannot say enough positives about working with Erin - we will be using her for all future big events!

Amazing! 11/10

Erin was EXCEPTIONAL. So easy to work with, very good at communicating, and omg the product. Our wedding pics were absolutely beautiful. From photo directions to editing to professionalism, she's the whole package. I wish she lived closer so I could use her for all my professional photos!! She's not the cheapest, but that's because her product is top notch quality. Trust me - she's worth it. All our friends and family agree that her photos were absolutely amazing.

Best wedding investment!!

We cannot sing enough praises about Erin, and are so glad we hired her for our wedding in July. She was incredibly professional, kind, and made my husband and I feel so comfortable and natural on our wedding day, and during our engagement pictures. She captured the most special moments from our day- big and small- and we are in love with every photo from our wedding!! We will cherish our beautiful photos forever, and our experience working with Erin was better than we could have hoped for. We cannot recommend her enough!!

Calm, Supportive, Amazingly kind

We loved working with Erin for our classically-hectic Indian wedding. She was lovely to have by our sides, was not phased at all by our awkwardness, and captured everything perfectly despite the wild range of settings (indoors, outdoors, evening, very hot, very dark, etc.). Our photos are beautiful and we couldn't stop smiling as we looked through the collection. You won't go wrong hiring Erin for your important events!

The best choice

Erin is incredibly empathetic and kind and her approach will make you feel at ease throughout the entire process. Erin went above and beyond in making sure we had the engagement shots and wedding shots that we had dreamed of! She is helpful and caring and lent a hand more than once on the big day, making her feel more like family than our photographer! She is wonderful to work with and her photos are bright, cheery, and individualized. We are in love with our photos and can't thank Erin enough for capturing our special moments. Highly, highly recommend!! We are so grateful to have worked with her.

Thank You Erin!

Erin went above & beyond and captured photos for our wedding that we will cherish forever. She has a great energy and having her present on my wedding day I truly feel is one of the reasons things went so smoothly! I had a large wedding party & guest list and was worried that it would be difficult to capture everything and everyone. However, Erin seamlessly was able to do that as well as capture fun and memorable behind the scenes photos and action shots on the dance floor. I feel like I was able to relive the night from looking at the photos she provided. The entire process of working with Erin was great-she helped us come up with a day of timeline and truly helped ease nerves I had leading up to the day. I also must add that we had an assistant photographer for the day and she was also amazing and wonderful to work with -I could tell the communication between Erin and her was on point . Erin is so professional but also so fun and down to earth. If I had to do my wedding day all over again I would choose her a million times over.

The absolute best!

We cannot begin to describe how unbelievably grateful we were to have Erin as our photographer. Her reputation as not only talented, but compassionate, thoughtful, and fun definitely lived up to our expectations. Every single guest commented on how wonderful Erin and her team was, many people requesting her services moving forward. She not only made us feel special, but everyone else in the room. Less than 24 hours after our wedding, we got a sneak peak and we are in awe of her magic and cannot wait to see all the photos. Thank you, Erin! We are eternally grateful!

Best wedding investment!

Working with Erin was simply a dream! She’s not JUST a photographer- she’s a strong, professional, passionate, and fierce hype woman! She is hands down the best investment from our wedding. From the first time we met Erin via Facetime for a meet and greet, we knew she was the photographer for us. Her bubbly and charismatic personality is infectious, she is authentic and truly has a passion for capturing not only stunning photos but memories and a true capturer of light and love. Looking through her portfolio and back at our pictures from our engagement session and wedding day, it truly evokes a deep visceral response; I can genuinely feel the immense joy and love overcome me from these snapshots in time. Her passion and work are truly unmatched! It was a blast hanging with her for our engagement session where she really got to know our personalities. We had so many compliments on our engagement photos. During our engagement session, she had a playlist of songs we liked playing so the afternoon felt less stressful and more like a hangout sesh where one of our friends happened to be candidly snapping pics the whole time and the outcome reflects genuine happiness and raw emotions. She is great with providing direction and making you feel at ease with being photographed. Our wedding party loved hanging out with Erin and her assistant- as I mentioned before, hype woman extraordinaire! Throughout her photography sessions she builds you up with compliments and shows you pictures she’s taking on her camera and will make comments about how gorgeous and amazing a photo is because of you. She truly makes you feel on top of the world. She went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. These photos are the ones you will look back on and reflect on for the rest of your lives and pass down and share with future generations- a true investment that is priceless, and Erin delivers that- priceless photos that convey so much heartfelt emotion. Would highly recommend Erin not only for wedding photography but for engagement photos or any other special event photos. Cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

A must have for your wedding!

Erin is quite simply the best photographer you could work with, hands down. She photographed our engagement photos, our COVID “mini-wedding” and our big wedding celebration 1 year later. Our mini wedding photos came out so good they were even featured in a magazine. She is fun, easygoing, very professional, quick to respond to any communication, and accommodating to any request. My wife and I aren’t the type of people who like getting our pictures taken, but we felt so comfortable with her and found ourselves laughing and smiling at her amazing personality during all our shoots. Her pictures always come out amazing and are so colorful and unique. If we could give her 6 stars we would. We’d recommend her without any hesitation to anyone who was looking for a professional photographer. She is the best.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
