Erica is fabulous. The first thing that drew me in was her work: it’s beautiful, it always captures so much life and emotion, her eye for lighting and shadow is incredible... but what sealed the deal for me was the way she communicated. She was so warm and friendly, she explained all the details of the shoot, helped us with styling, had a whole plan going in (but was quick to tell us that the most important part is to be ourselves and have fun). Also, she was accommodating to my utter neuroses about getting my photo taken. She’s full of laughter and love and is a cool, casual lady who really, really knows her stuff. Everyone has commented on how gorgeous our engagement shoot turned out, and they’re right. I will cherish these photos forever!
