Love, Erika.

Love, Erika. Serving Upstate NY & beyond, providing Lifestyle & Motherhood photography from the heart. From Birth to Graduation, I spend my time making art out of love.

THE LADY BEHIND THE LENS


I am a tattooed, iced coffee drinkin', doting mother, loving wife & a substitute teacher. I am a sucker for sunsets & thunderstorms. In my free time you, more than likely will find me binging General Hospital or enjoying me time at the gym. My faith in God is at the core of everything I do, driving me to seek beauty in life's genuine moments and share it with others through the art of photography.

🎓 Kindergarten Graduation Mini Sessions Are Here! 🎓

They may be little, but this is a BIG milestone! Celebrate your graduate with a fun and simple mini session to capture all the excitement, pride, and personality of this special season. 📚✨

These sessions are perfect for showcasing your kindergartener's accomplishment before they head off to first grade!

Please note: Families will need to purchase their own cap and gown for the session. I’ll provide an Amazon link in the comments to make it easy. 😊

Message me for details, availability, and to reserve your spot! 🎉📸

Meet the Burts. A local family who has a beautiful orchard & I can't wait to utilize it this fall for apple picking mini sessions 🥰

Thank you for letting me capture these for you, Mere. It was truly my pleasure & helped me to reflect on the importance of capturing families during a time where loss is reminding me how short life is.

Hold & cherish your loved ones and take the pictures. 💔

I went down to the prom tonight & got to capture a few images for people. I don't often get to give back with my photography & I am sorry if I didn't get to everyone who was hoping to snag some. Maybe next year I can open up some special session spots?

Anyway, thanks to all the big kids who let me snag you, capture these moments and even make some of you laugh ❤️❤️

It means the world to me when people trust me with their babies, big and small - be safe everyone & have fun xo

Please feel free to tag parents/kiddos - I didn't take names & while I recognize some, I don't know all of them 🥹

I’ve been sitting with this for a little while.

Last year, I raised my pricing. Not lightly, not casually, but because of the time, heart, and intention that go into what I do. The early mornings, the editing hours, the moments I get to preserve that you’ll carry for a lifetime.

But I also know the reality we’re all living in right now.

Groceries cost more. Life feels heavier. And sometimes the things that matter most, like photos with your babies, your family, your story, get pushed to the side because they feel like a luxury.

And I just can’t ignore that.

Because I believe these moments matter deeply. I believe in freezing time, even just for a second. I believe in giving your children something to look back on and see how loved they were.

So while my pricing reflects my work, my heart is still the same.

I’ll be offering a limited number of discounted sessions for families who truly want these memories but may be struggling to make it happen right now. No pressure, no need to explain your situation, just reach out. Offered on a first-come, first-served basis. If this is something your heart needs, just message me “I need this” to reserve your session.

We weren’t meant to do life alone, and sometimes love looks like making space where you can.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above…” — James 1:17

Your family is one of those gifts. 🤍

One of my favorite things to do with my God-given talent is to serve Him with it on Sundays.🥹

I came across this precious church by accident - I went to support my friend in her journey to find a home church so that she wouldn't have to go alone. Little did I know I would find mine too. Over the last few years, I’ve really grown in my faith, and if you’re looking for a church home, I highly recommend checking it out. 🥰
