Meet Eric

Welcome to my world of photography—a journey that began with a Mickey Mouse Kodak camera in my hands as a child and has blossomed into a deep, passionate profession.

My path behind the lens has been a colorful one. It started with simple curiosity as a kid, evolved through my college years with a 3MP Pentax point-and-shoot camera, and truly took shape when I embraced my first SLR over four years ago. Now, as a professional photographer, my camera is not just a tool, but an extension of myself.

Photography, to me, is more than just capturing images; it's about seizing those fleeting, raw moments of emotion that often go unnoticed. Street photography holds a special place in my heart for this reason. It's unscripted, authentic, and beautifully real.

But my work isn't just about what I see through the lens; it's also about you. I understand that stepping in front of a camera can feel daunting. That's where I come in. With an extroverted personality and a knack for making connections, my goal is to make you feel at ease, as if we've been friends for years, within moments of meeting.

I have a unique ability to find and highlight the beauty in every person. My approach isn't just about taking a good photo; it's about showcasing you in a way that makes you feel seen and appreciated for who you truly are. The joy I experience when clients see themselves through my eyes—confident, beautiful, and unique—is the heart of why I do what I do.

Behind every click of my camera, there's a personal story. My wonderful wife of 10 years has been my rock. She's patiently been my 'guinea pig', helping me experiment with different settings, lighting setups, and poses as I honed my craft. And then there's my 8-year-old daughter, a budding photographer herself, who often joins me on my street photography adventures. Their love and support have been integral to my journey, infusing my work with warmth and depth.

I firmly believe that everyone has a story worth telling, and my mission is to capture yours in its most authentic light. So, whether you're camera-shy or a natural in the spotlight, know that with me, you're in safe hands. I can't wait to embark on this photographic journey with you, creating memories that not only look stunning but feel deeply personal and true.

Welcome to The Gift of Photography. Let's create something beautiful together.
