ted… and BOY did she deliver!
She brought such warmth, calm, and heart to our wedding day, and it shows in every single photo. She captured the big moments, the quiet ones, and all the emotion in between with so much care.
Even amidst the chaos, she made us feel grounded and supported. Our sneak peeks arrived right before our honeymoon and absolutely floored us. We cannot wait to see the rest!
We’re endlessly grateful for her and would recommend her 1000x over.

she can best capture your most special memories. She is so kind and fun to work with! She is easy to communicate with, accommodating, and very reliable. She has such a dreamy style of photography that I feel captured us as a couple so naturally. She was such a calming presence and anchor for us amongst all the wedding day craziness with photo timing and locations to make sure we didn’t miss any important moments! I highly recommend working with Erin, I truly can’t imagine anyone else capturing these moments for us in a better way. We absolutely love our photos from both sessions and will cherish these memories for many years to come!

Erin went above and beyond while working with us. My student organization hired her through our school budget to capture our Christian Formal. She was easy-going and communicative ...
going into working with us to ensure that she would capture just what we wanted. On the night of, she arrived early to set up her equipment to make sure she did not miss any guests. Throughout the night, she was attentive to our guests and all that was happening with our event to make sure she did not miss any major moments.
Afterwards, Erin exemplified extreme patience, grace, and professional communication as we ran into several issues with the university that delayed her payment by five months! All throughout this strenuous time, she cared about us receiving our pictures back more than the money.
When we finally got the hassle with the university sorted out, we were very pleased to receive the most stunning, beautiful photos that captured that night so long ago. The high quality of the photos was worth the wait.
Erin was the absolute best choice we could have chosen for our event. She truly cares about the wellness of her clients as well as delivering beautiful, high-quality pictures!

perfectly in photos that we’ll cherish forever. She captured everything from polished poses to the goofy moments with our goofy dog. Each time we look at our photos, we laugh all over again remembering the moments.
At our micro wedding, she was more than a photographer when my MOH had to miss my wedding due to Covid. She was capturing moments, while helping make our day perfect (up to and including helping my mom and I figure out my bustle). She is the only photographer my husband and I will trust to capture our most important moments to come.

at the sun was setting and the light on the water was gorgeous. I knew in a few minutes it would be gone, so I quickly asked her to capture it if possible. She immediately took photo’s from every angle!
But the true artistry came in those few photo’s that she sent to Mollie as a preview and I’m sure in those to follow! There are no adequate words to describe the beauty that she captured. Yes, in my daughter, who it beautiful, but more so in the love that she magically captured between Mollie and Billy. As an artist and photographer myself, I’ve truly never seen anything like it. Erin has given the two of them the opportunity to relive their wedding through these beautiful photographs and has provided us with stunning memories of moments throughout the day. As a result of her artistry, we have a gift that will be cherished for decades to come!

I worked with Erin at a previous job. Learning she was starting her own Photography business; I asked her if she did senior portraits.
She hadn't as of yet - but she jumped in wit...
h enthusiasm and we had a wonderful adventure. Delayed a week because of extreme heat, then dodging sprinkles when we did get to shoot.
She made my son so comfortable and laughed the entire time! Best decision I mad in hiring her - every time I look at his pictures, I think how she captured his very heart and soul.
So glad we have these good memories of his Senior year, when so much of the class of 2020 got canceled.

Erin took my senior photos this past summer and let me just say, they couldn’t have turned out better. Not only is she an AMAZING photographer, but she also makes the shoot feel fu...
n and natural. Before my photo shoot I was really nervous about how it was going to go since I’m not a huge picture person. However, she was so sweet and super helpful with poses which is something I need a lot of help with. Of course I was nervous to see how the photos would turn out but I had a good feeling about them. Let me just say, I was not disappointed when I got my photos back. I have yet to take better pictures than the ones I received. Erin truly understands how to edit and take photos to fully capture the beauty of her subject and it shows. She’s the sweetest, most kind human being, but also very artistic and professional when it comes to her work. It’s clear that she cares a lot for her work and I’m so thankful I got to work with her.

We hired Erin to photograph our wedding, she was amazing to work with!! From the moment I first met her I knew she would be the one to photograph our wedding day. In all her comm...
unications she was professional but also excited to be part of our day. She made me feel like a priority through the entire process. I think I was pretty laid back when it came to what photos I wanted and after there were some photos I had forgot to ask for and low and behold she had taken them! She was so fun to work with during our wedding day and really worked hard to capture the feelings and emotions of the day. I absolutely love looking back on our photos and reliving our wedding day! If you are looking for a great photographer to work with Erin is your girl!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars because Erin deserves it. She was the photographer for our wedding, and she blew us away every step of the way. It’s a bit nerve-wracking to p...
ut your faith in someone to document a once-in-a-lifetime event, which is why I’m SO grateful that we had Erin. She is incredibly skilled at her craft. She is also one of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet. She put us at ease from the moment we met her and it was awesome to have her be a part of our day (she’s legitimately the type of person you want to be friends with). I’m not a huge fan of having my picture taken but she made the entire process fun. The photos were perfect and the turn-around time was phenomenal. She really went over and above. I honestly felt bad for other newly-weds who went with different photographers and didn’t get nearly the same results as us—either in turn-around time, professionalism, frame-worthy photos, kindness, or passion. I recommend Erin without reservations!
