Hi, I am Erica.
CHICAGO | Family, Motherhood, Senior & Studio Photography
Modern luxury meets fine art—with your hype girl behind the camera.
Why pick me to tell your story?
I’m not just a photographer.
I’m a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a bestie, always thinking of ways to empower and support women as their most important chapters unfold...I'm the one walking beside you, noticing what you don’t.
The one gently guiding, adjusting, encouraging. The one reminding you—in real time—you look amazing… that moment right there… that laugh… that’s it.
Think of me as the friend who hypes you up, calms your nerves, and helps you feel like yourself—just with a camera in my hand and an eye for your best moments.
All that’s left is a choice.
Shall we create something beautiful together?

and held for a lifetime.
This Legacy Film was created for a sweet friend gone to heaven far too soon, and her son who is her legacy. This is a film I hope he treasures forever and reminds him of just how much she loved him! Each legacy film is personalized as I learn each story that steps before my lens. This is the story I tell to a mother, from the eyes of her five year old son.
