Welcome to the Blog

I'm Erica a D.C. wedding photographer, with two young children, and a love for organization. Welcome to my small space on the internet where I can share with you special sessions, real weddings, and even little looks into my everyday life. Take a look around, and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Tree Farm photos only get better when you add in a Blue Truck! It’s no secret that the weeks between the start of September through mid-December are some of the busiest weeks in my year. Typically, I end this time frame with lots of mini sessions over the weekends. This year was no different. […]

These Christmas Tree Farm mini sessions are just what I needed to get me in the holiday spirit this year. With a very full wedding schedule right up to Christmas, I felt the season really crept on me fast. I didn’t anticipate the arrival as much as I normally would! My husband and I have […]

This senior session is an extra special one that I can’t wait to share with you! This June, my niece is graduating from Millbrook High School, and I just photographed her senior pictures in Winchester, VA! Now, I adore getting to be Caitlyn’s aunt. We’ve always had fun together. In fact I’ve hired her as […]

When she reached out to me this year with the idea of generational family photos including her sister, mother, & Gran, I was all in! I have wanted to do a portrait session […]

Proposals

Surprise wedding proposals are one of my favorite sessions to photograph. From all the detailed planning to being there to document such a magical moment, I love every minute of them. Alec reached out to me with a plan of a sunset proposal at Blackrock Summit on a Friday in November. Our original plan had […]

Megan and Alex were married at the base of a beautifully hand-crafted cross on their family’s Cumberland homestead last September. I love getting to photograph weddings wrapped in so much love and unity with both friends and family at the center of it all. Megan and Alex’s day was the perfect example.  Megan’s parents purchased […]

Real Weddings

Bandit’s Ridge Wedding Venue isn’t like a lot of other wedding venues. You will drive right by it thinking it’s just another working farm amongst the others around here. I think that realistic charm is one of the biggest selling points to so many couples around central Virginia.  I live in a small and rural […]
