I built my business during nap time and after bed time. As a wife, mother to my two little boys, and a new resident to coastal North Carolina (in 2015) I knew I had to either get a job or start my own business. I had left my Art Director job just before I had my first child and had no plans to go back. Already a hobbyist, I picked up the camera to capture my new baby boy and I realized I could start my own photography business–something I had only dreamt about from my office cubicle! The major turning point for me was my decision to make my dreams of owning my own photography become my reality. The decision to take that first step IS the first step in your journey!

 

What took me from dreams to reality? Hiring a photography mentor and coach! Not only did she take me on a shoot with her and teach me great photography techniques, she also taught me everything she knew about starting and running a photography business. Having a mentor that I could trust and would help me cut though all the b.s. and go straight to the info and resources I needed to grow my business quickly was THE BEST investment in myself. I now pay that forward to my clients, by helping them to book more, make more profits and go FULL TIME while enjoying a thriving, life-enriching business!

“We recently used Erika for some family beach photos. She did an excellent job! She suggested a great location, did a wonderful job handling all our different family members (a toddler to great grandparents) and the photos turned out beautiful. Would definitely recommend her!” -Brittany C.
Sometimes (sooooo often!!!) I look back at these sessions and still, after nine years, cannot believe that this is my job. Who wouldn’t want to look at a face like that?! 🥹❤️
