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!
Milestone sessions are some of my favorite sessions to photograph, especially when they are part of a longer story. This session marked a six month milestone for a family enrolled in my Motherhood Membership. At this stage, so much has already changed. Babies are more expressive, parents are settling into a new rhythm, and connection […]
Sometimes the best sessions are the ones that turn out differently than planned. After having to reschedule once because of the weather, the Stuckey family and I finally met on a beautiful afternoon at Barboursville Vineyards.

This session took place at the Tidal Basin during peak bloom, when the cherry trees […]
There’s something incredibly special about documenting the first few weeks with a newborn. Time feels suspended, and every tiny detail is new.
