  • WELCOME!

    Anywhere I travel, my passion reminds me.. Combining all the elements; The picture perfect subject, location & above all else the lighting for that one magical shutter moment. Blink of an eye the road travels on but my mind has captured the "what if" moment forever. Truly blessed to witness the innocence & beauty of LIFE thru my lens! Photography is timing colliding with amazing light ... sometimes I wish I could bottle up that perfect light and take it with me to the next shoot. But if you could do that the chase for it would be over.. & the magic would be gone.

    Captivated by individuality & the beauty surrounding. I invite you to take a tour of the world as I see it and all the souls i've been so gracious to capture. I would love to create a unique session all your own.

    Specializing in Weddings & Portraiture & a love affair with fashion inspired shoots.

    11.11.11.  A symbolic day in time …especially for Ryan as he set out to the Washington Athletic Club in Seattle to ask Corrin to be his wife.   She said YES and the rest is memory bliss history.  From the moment I met Ryan & Corrin I knew they would create a dream wedding as dreamy as the two are together.  Corrin is divine in every way and no detail was left without her touch.  The only thing missing was their photographer on their Tahiti, Moorea & Bora Bora honeymoon:)  However, Ryan photographed beautiful images that I’ve been drooling over!  I simply couldn’t have been happier photographing their wedding!!

    Christmas 2010, my sweet daddy offered an idea.  He humbly offers the use of his boat to shoot a concept..  “My Girl” A 1959 Chris Craft masterfully restored by my amazing daddy himself.  Truly a  piece of art history … he has brought these stunning boats back to life!    Currently on his 3rd Chris Craft restoration, ”Twinkles”:)  I am so honored to be his daughter and share a concept with him!  I knew I wanted the style to reflect that of the early 1960′s and a fashion frenzy of ideas floated thru my mind.  Twisting & tweaking a bit to tell a unique version of the classic Chris Craft with a pure pale skin gorgeous red head..  featuring Adelle Carr.  End of the summer freckles and a brightly fresh makeover to her already reddish locks by the hair genius, Marv Smith of the Hair Lounge and she was a knock out.  Makeup was pure icing to her flawless canvas face provided by MUA Nicol Wulkowicz.  The perfect dream team!:)  The overcast but bright day just enhanced the features on the Chris Craft & model Adelle.  Pop of red lips with delicate lashes and she was just the doll I had envisioned!   Collaboration was all I had expected and hoped it would be.. thank you all very much!  I love you, Daddy!  Special thank you for your inspiration & the best words of advice always through life and art! – Twinkles

    Nicol Wulkowicz - What an honor it was to be part of this concept. The images are absolutely stunning and what a fabulous tribute to your dad…brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful to be able to experience this with him. These photos not only capture the beauty of model Adelle and the restored Chris Craft, but it’s a collaboration of artists coming together from different generations. Stunning work Erin!

    Summer is coming to a close.  Sadly, I didn’t attend one concert under the sun.  Thank goodness Chinook Pass offered an awesome background for a  music festival of our own!  I had so much fun with these girls;)

    Embrace the moment that is now

    Changing seasons… I take a deep breath and realize the Summer is almost behind us but not without acknowledging the fall air and sunshine can coincide beautifully together.   It’s the feeling of warmth and fall leaves touching the ground that I embrace the moment that is now that leads me to a new beginning, a new season, and a whole new collection of concepts and ideas.  I’m just so lucky to have friends to play dress up with!  Thank You April ♥
