Erin! We can’t thank you enough for so beautifully capturing our baby girl’s newborn pictures! From the scheduling, to the in home session and final photos, every step of the process with you was simply wonderful. Your light and airy style was exactly what we were hoping for and the photos are beyond beautiful. Thank you for being a part of this special time in our lives. We are thrilled to have these photos to look back on for years to come. Oh and we’ll be coming back to you to capture more milestones of baby girl!! Thank you! 

The Kennedy Family

We had a blast with Erin taking pictures with our 2 month old. She was so kind, thoughtful, patient, and direct about the best way to stand and spots to stand in at one of our favorite parks! We’d highly recommend her for any occasion. She has such a genuine heart and passion for helping others capture their special moments.

The Kimbrough Family

We adored working with Erin! She was wonderful with our family, which was no easy feat since we have three kids under the age of 3. We were put at ease immediately by her lively and composed nature, with the exception of our toddler who was not feeling an early morning photo shoot. Erin was patient and let him lead the way, and she still managed to shoot fabulous photos! She also chose a stunning location in Old Town Alexandria. We couldn’t recommend Erin more highly!

KIND WORDS FROM SWEET FRIENDS


Submit my contact form or send me an email with the date, time, and location of your event. I'll reply with some additional information for you to review and then we'll move to the next step if you think we'll be a good fit.


Many military events can't be recreated, so I want to be 100% certain that I can serve you well and provide you with an experience that matches your expectations. Before you book, we'll hop on a call to chat through some details and make sure we're on the same page.


If we both agree we're a good fit, we'll move forward with booking... then the fun begins! I'll be there every step of the way to help you with details, outfits, and timelines to ensure you have a photography-friendly day. 


We've done a lot of work to prep so that you can just enjoy the day! Your must-have shot list combined with my prior experience will allow me to create a gallery of images you'll love. Plus, if something comes up at the list minute and you need an extra hand, I'm your girl!


About 3 weeks after the event, you will receive a full gallery of high-resolution hand-edited images that will tell the story of your day. You can download your images from the online gallery, as well as purchase prints from a professional lab if you wish.

I am so glad I followed someone's advice to have a pro there. You captured some wonderful moments that I never saw as I was standing nervously pre-occupied up at the podium. I'm so excited to see the rest of the photos and share with my friends and family - who are all raving about the montage you put together as well.

You are the first photographer I've hired ever (outside of my wedding) and I have to say it's been a great experience working with you. So much so I'm considering doing family photos and such next year. I'll definitely be in touch. 

Col Erin Lai Wheeler

We had the pleasure of having some military family photos done with Erin and it was such a great experience. She was so patient with our autistic son making sure we were able to do poses that were manageable with a toddler that has a limited attention span. 

Our session was the most fun I have ever had taking picture with my kids! Erin made us feel at ease and not at all like stressed. Our pictures came out so beautiful and we couldn’t be more thankful! 

The Walbridge Family

I appreciated Erin's attention to detail, her coaching us on hand placement, her patience with small kids, and her organization about specific pictures she made sure to get! 

The photos turned out BEAUTIFUL with genuine smiles from everyone, which meant we were all relaxed! Thanks for beautiful memories!
