A story always has a beginning.....
sEvery photographer starts somewhere, so here is my story......
I loved everything to do with broadcast journalism in high school, and planned to study that in college when I applied to, and was accepted at Saginaw Valley State University after graduation in 2003. I thought I was going to be the next Katie Couric. However, God led me on a different path and after being married and having two children while in college, I decided a fast-paced lifestyle like that wasn't going to work. My love for anything creative eventually found me devouring professional images and wondering how people captured such beautiful pictures. As I began to teach myself through any library book I could lay my hands on, I began to believe I would feel such honor in capturing special moments in the life of those I love. It started with my children, extended to my family and friends, and through time and effort, became this amazing dream I am living today. Photography is one of my greatest loves, but not my only! My other loves: Jesus. Sewing. My girls and husband. My big English Mastiff. White Chocolate Mochas. Coloring. Fall Sweater Weather. Tall Boots. Baseball Games (Go Tigers!). Travel. Mission Work. Thank you for taking the time to check out my little corner of the world. I would love to meet you! Blessings, Erika |
