CAPTURING YOU WITH YOUR LITTLE LOVES
​I'm passionate about creating those magical moments that lead to the genuine, candid captures. There's beauty (and let's admit, a bit of chaos) in documenting families and I'm here for all of it!

Maternity sessions are an important piece in your growing family. They can be as adventurous or low-key as your vision allows. Schedule sessions between the 7th and 8th month. Your baby is on full display and you are still pretty comfortable!
Capturing those first few moments at home or in-studio with your expanding family is incredibly special. Lifestyle newborn sessions involve all family members - even four-legged ones! Schedule within the first three weeks of baby's arrival.
The nights may be long but the years are short. Make sure to capture those important milestones before the opportunity passes. I strive for the real, genuine moments. The laughter, the silliness and everything in-between. Have fun with your kiddos and allow me to find the magic.

"Our maternity shoot was the first time my partner and I had professional pictures taken. Erika did such a great job making us feel comfortable. Even with chilly weather and rain, we giggled the entire time!"

FAQ
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
Some photographers encourage a specific asethetic for their session. I am much more relaxed when it comes to clothing options. I encourage you to wear what gives you confidence or makes you comfortable. That said, I find that lighter toned solid fabrics with no logos provide the best images!
We often face rainy days here in Oregon. Depending on the circumstance, sessions may be rescheduled for inclement weather. Or, you may wish to set a studio session or indoor option. Think greenhouse, gazebo or covered patio and let's get creative!
DO YOU POSE BABY?
I offer in-home or in-studio lifestyle newborn sessions. They include various combinations of your family along with baby. I use minimal posing props, allowing me to capture those first moments with your angel. I encourage sessions to occur in the first three weeks because let's be honest, babies change so fast!
