Every picture tells a story- here’s mine.

Life happens in the gaps-

Hi! I’m Erin, and I believe photography is more than capturing moments- it is about freezing time.

My journey into photography has been a slow burn. I always loved the craft- working as a shelter dog photographer in Chicago and hobbyist. As life progressed, I found myself taking the painter and mixed media route. After selling my works at various venues and galleries, things have changed in the past years. Life, like for so many, changed during Covid. For me, it wasn't just that the world changed- I changed. I became a mom, and with that came a new perspective on time, love, and the little moments that matter most. I like to call these moments “ the gaps.” Suddenly, every fleeting glance, every tiny milestone, and every quiet, messy, beautiful second of motherhood felt like something worth holding onto.

That’s when I picked my camera back up. Not as a side project or even attempted career- but as a lifeline. I wanted to freeze those moments, bottle them up, and keep them forever. And somewhere along the way, I fell back in love with photography.

Now, I’m here to do the same for you. I know how it feels to want to slow down time, savor every little detail before it’s gone. And that’s exactly what I aim to do with every photo I take. Whether it be a family session, kids, engagement, couples, pets, or just because, I want to capture you just as you are- right now. So, one day you can look back on your life, just as it was- in the gaps.

Life isn’t perfect- give me the raw. real, unfiltered love of your story and your everyday magic.

If this sounds like the type of photographer you are looking for- I am here for you. Let’s create something timeless together.

With gratitude-

Erin at Wild Ivy Photographer
