I was born and raised in Seattle, attended WSU where I met my husband, and now live near the neighborhood where I grew up, with my husband and two children. I have been taking photos professionally for nearly 15 years and left my job in technology in 2016 to pursue photography full time.

Laura Watson
Event & Party Photography
Erin did a lovely job photographing my low-key wedding celebration at Cathedral in Ballard. The venue was inside, some natural light from skylights and sidelights, and then low lights/party lights for some dancing. We hired Erin to photograph cocktail hour, speeches and vows, and some dancing. She did a great job! I know it can be tough to photograph indoors in the evening. My favorites were of cocktail hour and speeches. She captured very really moments of friends hugging, chatting, cheers-ing. We did a few posed photos, which are fine and dandy. But I think Erin's particular charm is that she is efficient and nonintrusive. She captures scenes without disrupting them. Hire this photog! More...

General Photography
Erin was fantastic. Easy to work with and took amazing shots that we will cherish forever. Her turnaround time was also phenomenal. We got some shots back the very same day. More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The ability to elicit genuine emotions and finding the light. I want the people I work with to feel comfortable, the more relaxed they are, the more authentic the photos. I check out locations prior to photo shoots so I can find the spots with the best natural light.
