Hi, I’m Erika

I photograph families and newborns in and around Lewis Center, Ohio, and I believe the best photos come from real connection, not forced smiles.

I’m a mom of two, so I get it. The meltdowns, the messes, the moments that make you laugh and cry at the same time. That’s the stuff I want to capture. The wild, beautiful, ordinary chaos of raising little humans.

My sessions are thoughtfully styled but never stiff. They’re relaxed, real, and centered around your family’s connection. I’ll gently guide you when you need it and step back when I see something unfolding naturally. I’ll probably chat with your kids like we’re already friends, and I’ll never rush anyone who needs a minute. This is a space where you and your family can be yourselves.

You don’t need to perform for the camera. You just need to show up and love on your people. I’ll take care of the rest.

When you look back at your images, I want you to feel something. Not just remember how it looked, but how it felt. The way their arms wrapped around your neck. The way they reached for your hand without thinking. The way you looked at each other when no one else was watching.

If you’re looking for a photographer who values the real stuff, welcomes the chaos, and knows how to hold space for the love in your life, you’re in the right place.

Let’s make something meaningful together.

Our Family

I would love to work with you!
