WHO IS THE COLLECTION:

ERIN LEE
Erin shot her first wedding in 1990, at the age of eight, with her Kodak 110 camera and her guinea pig, Lora, who was dressed like a bride. Her decision to be serious about photography came about 10 years later while she was playing drums for a Chicago-based alternative rock band. She noticed that no one knew how to take photos of a chick-drummer. Erin then spent numerous years photographing musicians in the Chicago area.

Erin also enjoys relaxing outside during the summer with friends, reading books by Brennan Manning, watching The Office, and discovering magical atmospheres. She is sad that LOST has completed. Her guilty pleasure is visiting Opryland Hotel and can’t wait for it to reopen. When Erin is not busy with photography and the mentioned activities, she is still rocking out as the Marketing Director for a music–based advertising and sponsorship company.


JESSICA LAYNE
Jessica has been photographing weddings for over two years, and has had a considerable amount of training over the years from her older sister Whitney Carlson of Dove Wedding Photography.

Jessica lives in Atlanta, GA with her husband Alex and 120pound black Labrador Triton. She is a 6th grade school teacher that loves the outdoors. When she is not teaching or photographing, she spends her time with her husband hiking, rafting, camping, and watching LOST marathons.
