On Erika

My primary goal is to draw out the most natural, authentic version of each person I photograph.

From the earliest memories I can recall, a camera has always been a constant companion. What began as a childhood love for photography eventually grew into a professional journey in 2021, one that has taken me from eastern Pennsylvania to the beautiful Lowcountry of South Carolina.

Now a student at the University of South Carolina, I’ve had the opportunity to continue nurturing that love both in the classroom and through the people, places, and stories I encounter along the way.

There is something about the Lowcountry that continually inspires me. The quiet beauty of the marsh, the coastline, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the live oaks draped in Spanish moss have become some of my favorite places to create. But more than anything, I’m inspired by people and the stories they carry.

That is what I hope to bring into every session. I want you to feel comfortable enough to forget about the camera and simply be present. To laugh, move, wander, hold each other close, and let the moments unfold naturally. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s creating photographs that feel like you.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me at the beach or somewhere outdoors, exploring a new place and finding beauty in the ordinary.

I believe the best photographs aren’t always the ones that are perfectly posed. They’re the ones that bring you right back to how it felt to be there.
