I am a wife, momma, PNW wanderer, traveler, and daydreamer. As a lifestyle portrait photographer in the Portland, Oregon area, my goal is to capture the moments that define your life, from that walk down the aisle to capturing joy on your little one's face. Forget stiff, uncomfortable sessions. I'm after organic, meaningful moments between you and your loved ones.
From a styling guide to help with wardrobe selection, to truly creative, unique portraits that will tell your family's story, I'm here to give you an incredible experience from start to finish. The other day I was talking to a coworker about her upcoming wedding that she's been planning for almost a year.

Since 2013, I've been a Portland-based wedding, family, and lifestyle photographer, on a mission to preserve all the big and little moments that make up our lives. Growing up, I was always the kid doodling or creating something, from Barbie outfits to award-winning watercolor paintings. I was able to channel my artistic side by taking many art classes along the way, but my true passion has always been photography.
The heart of Erin's business is in portrait photography. Allow me to capture the moments you want to remember whether it's family, maternity, or in home newborn photography. Sessions can take place in a beautiful outdoor location or in the comfort of your home. Whatever suits you best, let's make magic together!

Erin was amazing to work with. She was very flexible with dates and offered to change to another date when it started raining the day of our shoot. Our 1 year old was very cranky but she was extremely patient and perfectly managed to capture the most beautiful moments. The photos turned out great!! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Are you stressed out taking family photos?? Or are you worried the pictures won’t turn out candid or good? Well stop searching for a photographer as Erin is your gal. She makes you feel so relaxed and exudes such professionalism without being pushy or salesman/saleswomen.
I am incredibly impressed by how genuine our family photos came out. She was able to capture the most perfect moments without us even knowing. Very clever!! She even was able to take solid shots with our two basset hounds which I hear is much harder to accomplish than babies.
Thank you Erin, we are so pleased and appreciate

Erin was so much fun and easy to work with. This was our first family photo shoot and our 9 year old can be stubborn when it comes to smiling for photos and rarely looks at the camera when he does but Erin was able to get him to have fun and really get into it. Even I looked good in the final product. Erin is absolutely worth it.

Erin is the best! Due to Covid, we cancelled our original wedding plans and three weeks out from our original date, we decided to have a small, outdoor ceremony. Even though it was the last minute, Erin was completely on top of it. She was prepared and professional and guided us to have the most beautiful photos. She made sure to capture all the details on our shot list plus so much more. I honestly couldn't imagine our photos to be this beautiful. Every time I look at them, I return to my joy bubble! She was a complete delight to have at the wedding - we are so grateful to Erin!

Erin is amazing! She has done both our engagement photos and our wedding and we have loved working with her. She is so down to earth and always ready to do something a little unexpected. For our engagement photos we told her we were up for a little adventure and she brought us to magical pacific city which has now become one of our favorite places. She was able to capture both the beauty and drama of the Oregon Coast as well as sweet intimate moments between just the two of us.
When she shot our wedding day 10 months after the engagement shoot it was like welcoming an old friend into the house

Erin is literally the best photographer I have ever worked with. I have had both family photos and professional lifestyle headshots done by her and she exceeds my expectations time and time again. Honestly, I despise having my picture taken and mostly it’s the fact that I don’t think I look anything like myself in a photo, let alone genuine. I have no idea how she manages to do it but Erin can coax a real smile and super playful, fun vibe out of her clients that spills over into the end result photos. I truly have never liked pictures of myself more than when Erin has done them. She is incredibly

Erin was amazing to work with. She is super creative and really let me be the bride and not stress about what shots were going to capture my day- she just told us where to stand and what to do. She really captured our style perfectly. She was on time, calm and genuine! I would hire here again for another life event in a moment! Thank you Erin!

It was a pleasure to work with Erin as our wedding photographer. From our initial meeting to the final drop-off of our beautiful wedding album, she took great care to make sure all of our questions were answered and our needs met. We liked Erin's style right away: we're a pretty laid-back couple and she promised simple but beautiful shots. That's exactly what we wanted - not a lot of fuss - and that's what we got. We're also pretty go-with-the-flow, and Erin matched that, too. We were running about a half hour behind schedule day of, and that was fine with her. She took advantage of that time to
