β€œWhat sets her apart from the rest is the thoughtful & meaningful experience she provides.

Erika's work is always very professional, but what sets her apart from the rest is the thoughtful & meaningful experience she provides. It's clear by the way she invests time in her clients that she wants them to have a meaningful experience & anticipates their wants and needs.”

β€œShe beautifully navigated capturing the day's special moments

Her presence was very friendly and engaging, but not overbearing. Erika knew we valued photographs of the day but also focused on how we felt, not just how we looked. She beautifully navigated capturing the day's special moments without pulling us out of those moments.”
