Hi, I'm Erica.
I picked up a camera in 2017 because I kept seeing something beautiful in people that they couldn't see in themselves. The quiet strength of a mother. The way a child moves through the world without worry. The truth that lives in the space between two people who love each other. I wanted to capture that — and help them see it, too.
You are perfect just as you were made. I love to help you know and own that truth.
When we work together, I'll gently guide you — how to stand, where to look, which angle catches the light just right. Not to make you into something you're not, but to bring out what's already there. The most beautiful version of you is the truest one. My job is to help you feel that, so it shows.
I'm based in Leland, NC, and I photograph across the Cape Fear region — from downtown Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and beyond. Whether it's a golden-hour family session, an intimate elopement, or a full wedding day, I'm here for the moments that matter across generations.
Being a mother of two is the heart of why I do this. Photography gave me the freedom to be present with my own family — and that gift of presence is what I bring into every session. When we slow down and simply exist in the moment together, something extra comes through. That's what I live to capture.
What my clients say
"From the very first email, she made everything feel so easy. Our engagement session was the most fun we've had together in months — and the wedding photos? We cried. In the best way."
Sarah & James · Wedding
"I was so nervous about family photos with a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old. She just rolled with every tantrum and tickle fight and somehow captured the most beautiful images of our family. Pure magic."
The Mitchell Family
"She sees things other photographers miss. The little details, the quiet moments. Every time I look at our photos, I notice something new that makes me smile."
Rachel · Portrait Session
I'd love to hear your story.
