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!

I absolutely love every time a past wedding couple chooses to have anniversary session in celebration of completing their first year as husband & wife! With the first traditional gift for the first anniversary being paper, a portrait session, resulting in beautiful photographic prints, is the perfect gift! (hint, hint) Using these photos to update any wall gallery along side your wedding images is a great anniversary gift idea!

2020 has become my year of returning couples for pregnancies. Jamie and Josh are my third returning couple to share with me their joyous news. I first met Jamie and Josh for their engagement portraits back in 2017 at Tuckahoe.

I absolutely love it when my past wedding couples return almost yearly for a sweetheart session. I have always been a strong advocate for making time for just you and your partner. May it be date nights, a quiet dinner at home, or more excitedly a yearly sweetheart session to show how your love has grown over the years.
