More about Erika S....
What do you love about your job?
I love being the person who can freeze a moment, and deliver those precious memories to my clients. The reactions are always so priceless, and I love the fact that I am the one who has the honor of telling their story. The fact I get to meet new people every day is so fulfilling to me. Everyone has a unique journey, and I get to hear all about it. How cool is that? Being a part of a team- even if it means my clients and myself, brings joy. I love working in groups and hearing others thoughts and seeing what opinions they bring to the table.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
In the past, I have photographed a little of everything, from maternity to boudoir and from weddings to commercial work. I always make it special by including the client 100%. If my client has an idea, I want to know about it and I ask. When they tell me they do, I will brainstorm on how we can take that idea, and make it explode into a great and fun shoot. If they don't have an idea, it's not a worry at all. I offer suggestions and pick their brain to ensure what they want from the shoot happens. There have been times during weddings where the forecast calls for rain, and all the bride wants is pictures outside in a garden. So what did I do? I called around to a few greenhouses nearby that won't be out of the way, that has flowers blooming and out, and that will allow for us to come in to shoot.
