Hi! I'm Erika
and these are my people!
My husband, Galen, and I live on a farm in Northwestern Ohio with our 4 energetic, ornery and stinking cute kids - Harley (8), Averie (6), Jaxton (4) & Maislyn (22 months). When we aren't in the tractors or taking pictures, we enjoy camping, playing games, swimming, and riding our 4-wheelers. I also enjoy baking and repurposing old treasures that I find in the barn and on my thrift store excursions! I LOVE using my camera to capture the belly laughs and silly faces of kids in whatever stage they are in!
Erika Marie Photography
I don't remember a time when I didn't have a camera of my own... I guess you could say it's always been a creative outlet of mine and developed into more when my parent's gave me my first digital camera for my high school graduation. The thrill of seeing my images right away was addicting!! I purchased my first SLR camera a couple years later and Erika Marie Photography was born. Fast forward 15 years (whaaat!?) and the list of clients-turned-friends is a mile long! I love being able to be a part of capturing their vows, new babies, birthdays, more babies... ! Coolest job ever, really. So thanks for checking out my website! I'd love to get to know you and your family and capture those casual, REAL, stages every year! I look forward to hearing from you!

“Erika has taken our family photos since our daughter was 6 months old. She never rushes through a shoot and always makes our kids feel comfortable. Her shots are never over - posed, and she is always able to capture our daughter's personality. We always enjoy getting pictures taken with Erika. I have and will continue to recommend her to our family and friends.”
