WORKING WITH ME: WHAT TO EXPECT
1. LET’S CHAT
Fill out the inquiry form and we can hop on a brief virtual chat to go over the details and see what kind of package fits best. If a custom quote makes more sense, I’ll create one tailored to your vibe and needs.
2. LOCK IT IN
Time to secure the session date, this may mean checking with studio rentals to make sure there is alignment. Next you’ll receive a Statement of Work to sign. A 30% retainer officially holds your date and we’re good to go. Rentals are booked once retainer is paid.
3. PRE-SESSION CHECK IN
Three to seven days before the session, we’ll have a quick virtual chat to review the timeline, go over any final details, and set clear expectations. No surprises, just smooth sailing.
4. DAY BEFORE SESSION
Balance of session is due, make sure outfits are looking sharp and fit well, hydrate and try to sleep as well as one can before a big shoot!
5. SESSION DAY - LETS GOOO
I show up ready to move with the energy of the room and capture the amazing person (or team) in front of me. I will be big on directing and posing as needed. The goal here is to have fun and maybe fall in love with getting your picture taken!
6. DELIVERY & GALLERY
You’ll receive your proofing gallery within two business days of the session. Now its your turn to make the selections and choose the editing style as well. Your full edited gallery will land in your inbox within 10 business days, ready to download, share, and fall in love with.

Just genuine connection, big confidence, and photos that do the talking when you don’t want to.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Erika totally gets my vision and vibe. I LOVE working with her.
I was so anxious getting my photo taken until a couple of years ago. Now I look forward to photo shoots because the experience is fun and empowering. Erika has the biggest heart ♥️ and a wonderful laugh. Get her to take your photos as soon as you can.”
— Gucci E.
“Let's begin this review by stating that historically, I really dislike having my formal brand photos taken. It's always felt disgenuous and awkward. HOWEVER, Erika has forever changed my feelings about this. I just received the photos from the branding shoot we did recently and I LOVE THEM!!
Not only did Erika make the experience light and totally enjoyable but she also took the time to really understand the vibe I wanted to convey, reviewed how the photos would be used to ensure they would work in the medium well, and brought her genius and talent to the project.
I couldn't have asked for anything more. I would highly, highly recommend hiring Erika if you're really looking for a joyful, authentic photography experience that will leave you with photos you'll be excited to share.
Thanks so much, Erika! Until next time... :-)”
— Jenn H.
LET’S CHAT ABOUT YOUR NEXT BRANDING SESSION
FAQs
What kind of branding sessions do you offer?
I offer everything from quick solo sessions to full team storytelling. Whether you’re launching a new offer, rebranding, or just want to stop hiding behind Canva quotes and selfies, I’ve got a session for you.
I’m awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?
Oh, baby, awkward is my playground. I’ll hype you up, guide your posing, distract you with jokes, and make you forget you’re even being photographed. You'll walk away feeling like a damn powerhouse.
What’s your booking process?
It starts with a quick inquiry form. Once we confirm availability and details, a signed statement of work and 30% retainer locks in your date.
What makes you different from other branding photographers?
It’s not just the photos. It’s how I make people feel. I bring warmth, intuition, and a little chaos (the good kind). I make people comfortable, confident, and totally themselves, even the ones who hate cameras.
What’s included in a branding session?
All sessions include a planning call, high-res edited images, guidance throughout the shoot, and your final gallery delivered within 10 business days after your selections. Need faster? I've got express delivery. Want more? There are add-ons.
Do you help with planning the shoot?
Heck yes. We'll have a call before your shoot to get clear on your vibe, your brand goals, and the kinds of shots that will actually work for your business. I’m your creative wingwoman from the jump.
Will our images be watermarked?
Nope. You get clean, high-res images for your use. If you want full copyright release for commercial usage, that’s available as an add-on.
What should I wear?
Something that makes you feel like you’ve already made it. Solid colours, textures, layers — and options you can move in. I’ll help you pick two to three outfit changes based on your session type, so you show up feeling like the brand icon you are.
Can I bring my team?
Yes, absolutely. You can add team members to your session for an extra cost. It adds more time and more images — and more hype. We’ll make everyone look cohesive and camera-ready.
What’s your style of photography?
My style is bold, emotive, and real. Think natural light, authentic vibes, and images that actually feel like you. I lean into colour, movement, and connection to make your brand pop without forcing anything fake. That said, I’m not precious about my process. If you’ve got a particular vibe or vision, I’m always down to tweak and tailor the session so it feels right for you.
Do you shoot in studio or on location?
Both. One location is included in every session, but you can add studio or multiple spots if you want to mix it up. I’ve got location ideas if you’re stuck — or we can rent a space to suit your aesthetic.
