Hey, I'm Erica!
I’m a central valley based photographer with deep experience documenting Yosemite elopements and cinematic love stories
Behind the Camera
I’m Erica, a photographer, storyteller, and mama to two little humans who reshaped the way I see love, connection, and legacy.
I’ve spent over 15 years documenting in-between moments. The quiet ones. The ones that don’t ask to be posed, but matter deeply over time. Becoming a mother slowed my approach and deepened how I photograph connection as it grows and changes.
I photograph stories with patience and intention, creating space for what feels honest, nostalgic, and true.
My Approach
I photograph slowly and intentionally, creating space for you to settle in and be yourselves. I’ll guide you when needed and step back when something honest is unfolding.
Connection always comes first. You don’t need to perform or pose. My role is to observe, anticipate, and document what feels real, so your photos reflect how it felt, not just how it looked.
For couples choosing Yosemite, I serve as your personal Yosemite guide, helping you navigate locations, timing, permits, and logistics with care and experience, so you can stay present and focused on each other.
When it feels right, I also love dreaming up thoughtful details and props that add depth without distraction. Nothing forced or overly styled. Just elements that feel natural to you and help tell your story in a way that feels lived-in and true.
From planning through delivery, I’m here to support you with a calm presence every step of the way.
