Based in Armada, I work with children and kids throughout the Metro Detroit area. I choose rental studio spaces nearby, or I'm happy to come to you and photograph in the comfort of your own home.
I'm one of the most laid-back people you'll meet. This translates to my business where I make sure you get what you want in your portraits. This also goes well hand-in-hand with children. We all need patience is needed for kids!
Children's and kids portraits with me are designed to preserve this stage with intention, not forced smiles or rushed sessions, but honest expressions and timeless imagery. These are portraits that feel artful and enduring, not trendy or overly themed.
I'm based in Armada, and I choose locations and rental studio spaces nearby for that refined, editorial feel. We create images that focus on connection, expression, and the small details, like the curve of a cheek, the seriousness in their eyes, and the softness that won't last forever.
Once your session is reserved, we plan the details together, from wardrobe and tone to the overall mood. I keep styling simple and thoughtful so your child stays the focus. During the session, I guide gently, allowing space for personality to surface naturally while keeping everything calm and structured. About two weeks later, you'll return for your in-person reveal, where you'll see your fully edited portraits for the first time and select the images that will become part of your home.
"Thank you so much. They are beautiful!"
Erika did a wonderful job taking my son’s pictures! You could see him open up because he felt comfortable. Very nice to work with and very accommodating.
"OMG! They're amazing! I'm putting them on our wedding website TODAY. I've already immediately favorited like 34 images! The video is spectacular too! I love it so much."

"Hi Erika! I just wanted to reach out and thank you for taking pictures. They turned out absolutely gorgeous, and everyone loves them. You did a great job capturing the essence of our wedding. Thank you again!"
