MINI SESSION PHOTOGRAPHY
Behind the Lens
I’m ErIKA, a mother of four, early childhood educator, and lifelong lover of children and family connection.
I began photographing families in 2020 during the Front Porch Project, and what started as a way to serve my community quickly became a calling. My background in early childhood education shapes the way I approach each session, blending patience, intention, and gentle guidance. Families are supported every step of the way, creating an experience that feels seamless and results in timeless, meaningful artwork.
What my clients are saying

"I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, THEY'VE BEEN HANGING ON OUR WALL"
Erika took our family photos, and they turned out incredible! I love them so much, they’ve been hanging on our wall year-round ever since. She was a natural at wrangling the kids and capturing their personalities which made everything super easy and surprisingly fun. Definitely recommend Erika!
"I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE"
Erika has taken pictures of all of our newborns. I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Erika Kelly Photography. From the moment we arrived for our newborn session, she made us feel so comfortable and cared for. Her studio was warm, peaceful and perfectly set up for our baby - she truly thought of everything!
-KATIE M.
"I CAN'T RAVE ENOUGH ABOUT MY CHILDREN's HEIRLOOM PHOTOS"
"I can’t rave enough about my children’s heirloom photos by Erika. She has done all three of my children’s heirlooms at different sessions and ages, and I am always blown away by her patience and kindness with them as well as the quality of work. I will always cherish her photos. Erika is such a beautiful person inside and out, and she is a joy to work with!

"SHE DOES AN AMAZING JOB AT CAPTURING THE MAGIC & EXCITEMENT"
The best Santa photos and experience! This will be our 3rd year doing Erika's Santa Experience, and my kids look forward to it every year. A few years ago, we decided we wanted more than just a hurried photo with Santa. My kids wanted to talk to Santa, tell him what they wanted for Christmas, etc. Erika creates an experience that allows for the magic of a conversation and time spent with Santa. She then does an amazing job at capturing that magic and excitement. We treasure these photos each year, they’re priceless memories. I highly recommend Erika’s Santa Experience session!
