A great photographer doesn’t just take pictures; they capture emotions and create stories through their images.  Each photograph tells a unique tale, evoking emotions and memories that will last a lifetime.

With a background in cultural anthropology, Erica's view of the world is shaped by her insatiable curiosity to discover what drives human experiences.  This comes through in her philosophy and approach to photography.  She is creative and loves playing and thinking outside the box for a unique take on photography.  She is up for a challenge and willing to try anything (at least once) to capture something special. 

Her love for photography started at a young age when she played with a camera off and on growing up.  Her affection was cemented when she traveled to various countries for work and discovered the power of capturing moments (especially off the beaten path) to bring home to share with friends and family.

While Erica delves into many different photographic genres, street photography (including street portraiture), creative portraiture, and dogs (never ever pass up an opportunity to take a picture of a dog) are favorites. Photography allows her to freeze fleeting and authentic moments of human experiences and culture, not only celebrating the myriad facets that make us human but allows us to preserve them as vivid stories that share the richness of everyday life.  She believes there is always more to uncover, more to learn, and more stories to tell and share together.  For her, the beauty and power of photography lie in the camera, capturing a moment in time that never existed before that ‘snap’ and will never exist again after the shutter is pressed. 

Erica loves sharing and educating and has taught everything from university anthropology courses to classes on creativity and understanding visual language to market and research professionals.  She is excited to share her love and experience of photography with you! 

Her work has been included in numerous exhibitions, including “Face to Face,” “The Street,” and “In-Between Moments.”
