About Erika

My photography journey began in 2006 when I was gifted my first film SLR camera—a moment that would spark a lifelong passion. Learning darkroom techniques taught me the beauty of patience and detail, but the switch to digital freed me to dive deeper into the heart of each shot. With a camera in hand, I’ve had the absolute privilege to explore diverse cultures, vibrant landscapes, and have met some of the most incredible people with very unique stories, often vastly different from my own.
Photography has become my creative voice, a way to share stories that transcend words.
Through the lens, I capture not just scenes but experiences and emotions that help build empathy, compassion, awareness, and my hope is that some will transport you to a place of peace, disconnected from the often chaotic world around us. Every photograph is a reminder of the powerful connections between us and the world around us—people, nature, animals... and shed light on the positive future we’re capable of shaping, together.
I am a public health professional with a deep love for the ocean, animals (especially my pug), all things science,
and leading a plant-based lifestyle.
