this is erica ann…

I believe that the first purpose of a work of art is to convey truth and the second is to reveal beauty. I know that might sound a little corny, but there you have it. I’m not interested in a thousand posed pictures, (but maybe ten.) I don’t want you to look back on your event and think, “Oh, I remember when we posed for that and when the photographer made us stand there and then she couldn’t get the flash right so we had to wait for the….”

I want you to experience you love and revel in the beauty of your day.

I will stay out of the way as much as possible on your big day but also be there to guide you into the best you. (That sounds confusing and grammatically incorrect, but its not, I promise.) Photographing people is my passion because you will never laugh, kiss, or even sneeze the same way twice. I do not only want to simply make a visual record of your day, but help you relive the emotions, beauty and truth in your life when you see the images.
I have had a camera around my neck for eight years and have been shooting weddings since 2006. I graduated from George Fox University, earning a degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in Photography.

And Now for some Bits of Tid:

Good beer is a must and my husband and I brew every winter

I love Jesus

Charlie is my cross eyed kitty and Ruby, Jasper and Virgil are my three ball pythons

I now have seven siblings (counting the steps and halvsies but not the in-laws)

Deep plum is my all time favorite color

I attempt to grow vegetables in my backyard but the weeds are winning right now

Lefty!

I am the most directionally challenged individual you will ever meet (seriously)
