Hamilton & Beyond
Photographer for the Bold, the Candid, and the Unapologetic
Your moments aren’t cookie-cutter, and your photos shouldn’t be either. Whether it’s the raw energy of an event, the intimacy of a micro wedding, branding that breaks the mold, or a family session that actually feels like your family, I capture it all with a storytelling style that makes you feel something. No stiff poses, no generic shots. Just real, vibrant imagery that tells your story.
Sessions that get me fired up
-
Event Photography That Feels Like Being There
Your event isn’t just a gathering; it’s an experience. I don’t just take pictures—I document the moments you’ll want to relive. The chaos, the laughter, the energy—I capture it all, so when you look back, you don’t just see what happened. You feel it.
-
Micro Weddings, Maximum Impact
Forget the ballroom and the 200-person guest list. You’re here because you’re doing things your way. Small weddings are intimate, emotional, and beautifully raw—exactly how I like to shoot. Every glance, every touch, every moment that matters? That’s what I’m after.
-
Branding Photography That Stops the Scroll
Your brand deserves more than bland, overused stock photos. You need imagery that makes people pay attention. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, artist, or business that refuses to blend in, I create visuals that showcase the heart of what you do—with a little edge, a lot of personality, and zero boring corporate fluff.

Family Photography with Real, Raw Moments
Forget the stiff, awkward family portraits. If you’re looking for a session that’s all about capturing your family as they are—chaotic, spontaneous, and full of love—I’m your photographer. The kids set the pace, the moments are unscripted, and your photos will actually reflect the vibe of your family, not some idealized version of it.
Meet Erika
The gal behind the camera.
A Hamilton-based photographer with a passion for capturing real, raw, and ridiculously good moments. My work isn’t about stiff poses or forced smiles—it’s about energy, emotion, and those little in-between moments that tell the real story.
Client Hype
“Erika knows how to help you relax and have fun while she works her magic and captures some amazing pictures.”
Sue B.
“Erika made me feel totally relaxed and at ease; we laughed a lot and I felt completely comfortable. The time flew by but she captured a ton of great shots, and was very generous with the final image gallery (which she provided to me in a matter of days!). I have gotten so many compliments on these photos!”
Liz D.
“Erika is a joy to work with. She brings such lightheartedness and fun to your session. You can really tell Erika values her work and captures the natural and candid moments. I did a business branding shoot with Erika as well as many markets and the proof is in the pudding. 10/10 for skill and customer service!”
