Family photography that captures both the most precious moments and the mundane mediocrity alike.

Fairfax family photographer specializing in evocative images that capture the fleeting, in-between family moments, honestly and uninterrupted.
Erin has been our family’s go-to photographer for capturing some of our most triumphant moments over the past three years! She has such a creative eye and a unique ability to bring to life what might seem ordinary—revealing the depth, emotion, and beauty within each moment and relationship.
Two of my favorite things about being photographed by Erin are her calm, organic presence and her easygoing energy. She helps everyone relax and move past the awkward “smile-for-the-camera” phase, creating space for us to simply be ourselves in the most genuine way. One of our best family photo shoots actually took place on a day when everyone was grumpy—I was sure we wouldn’t get a single good shot, and it ended up being one of my absolute favorites!
Erin is brilliant, funny, flexible, and an incredibly talented artist. We feel so lucky to have her capturing our family’s story.

"I hired Erin for a maternity session. She took care to get several poses and facial expressions and even incorporated walking and laughing to lighten up the mood. She is very approachable and made me feel comfortable during the session. I love the way my maternity photos came out and have hired her to photograph my birth as well!"

[Erin] captured every moment perfectly for my partner and I. Everything was natural and nothing felt forced. She was very patient with us as we have never gotten professional photos. And now we get to cherish these perfect memories before our daughter was born. Can’t wait to have her take photos of our baby girl!"

Nice to meet you!
I'm Erin
I'm an intense human with a passionate personality. I love hard and whole heartedly and genuinely try to be in the moment, live in the moment as much as possible.
I resonate strongly with Maya Angelou's quote: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
I deeply desire that my own kids have warm, cozy feelings stored in their bodies from their childhoods. That even if they don't remember the specific activities we did or the sweet words I whispered in their ears or all the laughing moments we created together, they will remember that time with mom made them feel included, important, cherished and above all unconditionally loved.
And I want that for you too. For you to come together as a family and be authentically you: whether that's super goofy, playful, semi serious, cuddly and snuggly or something else entirely.
I want your session to encapsulate the raw energy of your family so that the art we produce together evokes nothing short of comfort feelings and a sense of groundedness from being part of a family they truly belonged to.
