Los Angeles Food Photographer

Erica can almost always be found wearing the color blue, or stripes. Often at the same time.
She was born with the spirit of adventure, and with that she eagerly seeks the adventures life may bring. Her least favorite thing is down time, and she does what she can to always remain active.
Whether riding her road bike, taking a long walk, going to the beach, tending her garden, singing in Angel City Chorale, baking a loaf of bread or planning a dinner party, Erica is always doing something in her free time.
A native Virginian, she now resides in Los Angeles with her husband and three babies. Erica brings a uniquely upbeat energy to set. Her easy-to-get-along-with personality, paired with her attention to detail, set her apart in the industry.
