Meet Erin
Hi, I'm Erin —
I'm a portrait photographer based
in Lompoc, California. Seniors,
newborns, families, couples — I
photograph all of it, up and down
the Central Coast from Santa
Barbara to Santa Ynez to San Luis
Obispo.
I work with natural light and I
give real direction, which means
you won't spend the session
guessing what to do with your
hands. If you're someone who
usually hates having your photo
taken, that's fine. Most of my
favorite clients said the same
thing before we started.
I'm not going to tell you to
"just be natural." I'm going to
actually help you get there.
What I Shoot
Whatever the chapter —
I've got you.
01
Seniors
One session. One season.
No do-overs. Senior portraits
with me are relaxed, fun,
and entirely yours.
02
Newborns
No props, no posing, no baby
in a basket. Just soft light,
your arms, and those
fleeting first days.
03
Branding & Headshots
That cropped photo from your
cousin's wedding isn't doing
you any favors. Time for
something real.
04
Couples
The inside jokes, the eye
rolls, the way you look at
each other when you think
no one's watching.
05
Maternity
You're growing an entire
human. That deserves to be
celebrated, not just
documented on your phone.
06
Families
Nobody cooperates. Someone's
always distracted. And those
are always the photos you
love the most.

Inquire & Book
The first step to capturing amazing
photos? Booking your session! If you
want to chat a little more before
booking, just send me an inquiry, and
your message will land straight in my
inbox, no middleman, no bots, just me.
We'll chat one-on-one so I can get to
know exactly what you're looking for.
Get in touch
Once we've connected, we'll pick a
date. Since I shoot during golden hour
(that dreamy two-hour window before
sunset), securing a date is key. But
if golden hour doesn't fit your
schedule, don't worry, we'll find the
perfect time.
After that, I'll send you a booking
confirmation, and you'll be officially
on my calendar. Easy, right? Now,
onto the fun part, planning your
perfect session!

Location & Session Day
Choose a location that matches the vibe you're going for: peaceful, playful, romantic, whatever feels most like you. If you're not sure where to start, my locations page has some great inspiration.
When it comes to outfits, comfort is key. Wear what fits well and feels like you, and feel free to bring a few options to switch things up throughout the session.
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early, since we’re chasing golden hour light. Even a small delay can cut into our best time. Be ready to move around a bit; I like to keep things flowing so no one (especially the littles) loses interest. If walking or mobility is a concern, just give me a heads-up ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I’ll take care of the details; you just show up ready to enjoy it.

Gallery Delivery
After your session, I'll post sneak
peeks on social media that same
night — make sure you're following
me on Instagram and Facebook to
catch them when they go up.
You're welcome to share from
there.
If you do not want your images public, just let
me know.
I carefully sort and edit your
final gallery, which usually takes
about two weeks depending on the
season. Once it's ready, you'll
get an email with a link and
password to your gallery where
you can download, share, order,
and print your high-resolution
images.
Behind the Lens
Oh yeah, I have a blog.
Location guides, session tips, and the occasional overshare. Basically everything I wish someone had told me — now told to you, whether you asked or not.
