Is there a specific place or view that pulls on your heart strings and you need a quality piece of art to hang in yrou home? I got you.

A few weeks ago a friend reached out about a scene we all know and I love, one I have seen hundreds of times but never stopped. I can now say I have :-)

I'm alive!!! Wow, April 7th was my last post. Let's see where do I begin.... We left to pick up our new puppy early April and then when we got back with said puppy my life was total chaos for the next 3 weeks, then have been dealing with family medical stuff. Thankfully things have settled and life is normalizing again. So to kick off me getting back into posting meet Freya our newest family member! Her and Mabel are already best friends. And as of today she is around 19 weeks old. She is another moyen poodle and will be about 25-30 lbs. As you can see she is already an amazing model!

UPDATE: All sold!! Thank you 🥰

STUDIO CONFESSION 🌿

I opened a closet the other day and found something kind of heartbreaking…

Seven of my fine art prints. Sitting there. Quiet. A little forgotten. Waiting.

And honestly… they deserve better than that.

These pieces were created to be seen, to be part of a home, to make someone smile every single day, not tucked away in the dark. Maybe your walls have a spot that feels a little empty.
Maybe you have a special mom in your life and Mother’s Day is coming up. Or maybe one of these just feels like it belongs with you. Prints are all 12 "x 18" with about a 2" mat border

So let’s find them homes where they will be loved!!!

Here is how it works:
✨ If one speaks to you, comment “ME PLEASE” under that image
✨ I will reach out to you directly. Prints cost $80

Rapid City studio pick up only, no shipping

Let’s get these out of the closet and into homes where they can shine again 💛

Which one is meant for you?

Well… I guess it’s time to let the cat out of the bag 😸
Yes, I photograph cats too. LOL. Just not as often.

Cats can be a tiny bit more… adventurous… than their canine counterparts 🐈✨ So how do you know if your cat might be a good studio candidate?

A lot of it comes down to their personality and how they handle new environments:

If getting your cat into a carrier feels like an Olympic sport 🏅
or they turn into a disappearing act at the vet 🫥 the studio might not be their happy place.

But… If your cat is curious, confident, and loves to explore 🐾. If they tolerate (or even enjoy) the vet. If they stroll into their carrier like royalty 👑

They just might be a purrfect fit for a session 😻

Not sure? No worries at all.
Feel free to schedule a free phone consultation 📞
We’ll chat, laugh, and figure out what’s best for you and your fabulous feline ✨🐈 Fill out the form and it will take you right to my online scheduler!

Ohhh Phoebe Grace ✨🐾

Meet Phoebe Grace, a 13 month old Australian Sheepadoodle with the softest cream coat and the biggest heart. A few months ago her mom, Claudine, brought her in to see me and honestly… I get it. Completely. Utterly. Smitten. 🥹💛

Phoebe has that kind of personality that pulls you right in. Sweet, curious, and just a little mischievous in the most lovable way. Her mom says she loves to steal slippers and shoes 👟😅 but here’s the funny part… she doesn’t chew them. She just collects them like tiny treasures.

Now toys? Toys do not stand a chance 😂.🧸Fluff must be liberated. Squeakers must be defeated.

She is pure joy, soft curls, and total puppy magic. Watching the bond between Claudine and Phoebe was such a beautiful reminder of why I love what I do 💕.

Next month’s Quick Tails sessions are coming up and I am so excited about this look. This photo of Mabel is a perfect example of the clean, timeless images that will be offered. Simple. Beautiful. All about the dog.

March sessions take place March 7th and 8th and spots are limited. Moving forward (due to events on site at my complex out of my control) I have switched Quick Tails to be two days, but shorter.

She is wearing my 2026 client gift bandana, handmade by me and finished with my logo. Just one of the fun little touches that come in my client swag bags. And yes, I sew. Apparently I am multi talented.

If you want one of these custom bandanas, a full legacy session is the way to go. For Quick Tails, I recommend bringing your own bandana, bow, or simple accessory. It will pop beautifully against the solid white background and add just the right amount of personality.

You can book your session here:

Hi, I’m Erica.

You want photos that feel real. Not stiff, not forced, and not overly posed. You want images that reflect connection, personality, and the moments that matter most, whether that is your family, your pet, your senior year, or the business you have worked so hard to build.

That is where I come in.

I photograph families, pets, high school seniors, and businesses with a calm, thoughtful approach that allows people and animals to be themselves. Pets move at their own pace. Kids do not need to perform. Seniors do not need to fit a mold. Business owners do not need to pretend to be someone they are not. My job is to create space, guide when needed, and capture what feels honest and true.

Pets are at the heart of my work, but people have always been part of the story. Sometimes those stories overlap beautifully. Sometimes they stand on their own. All of them are welcome here.

Even as a photographer, I understand how important it is to be in the photos too. These images were taken by my friend Russell with Sage Studios, and they remind me why this work matters. Being photographed requires trust. It means letting go and being seen. I carry that understanding into every session I photograph.

If you are looking for images that feel natural, intentional, and timeless, you are in the right place.

I would be honored to tell your story.

BTS: Calm, stoic photos rarely come from forcing a pose 🐾 They come from patience, treats, and letting pets be themselves. A short walk beforehand, familiar or high value treats, and a low pressure, fun environment often matter more than perfect behavior. Did I mention teamwork 🤝 Getting pups to sit still is by no means a solo effort. My pet parents are right there working with me as we do our best to help their dog cooperate 💙

It has come to my attention that I may have done too good of a job making people’s dogs look like perfect angels 😇 Remember when you see the beautiful images I share, you are only seeing a fraction of a second of what really happens 😂 (enjoy these not so beautiful BTS images to remind ALL pets, no matter how crazy are welcome at the studio)

I have my tricks, but I want to know… what are some ways you help your pet relax in new places 🐶✨
