I'm Erika.
Born and raised in Thunder Bay, I live here with my super cute son, my awesome husband, and my very large, very loveable dog. Besides photography, some of my favourite things in life are road trips, binge watching The Office, and A N Y T H I N G chocolate.
I have loved taking pictures for as long as I can remember. Long before digital cameras & cell phones, I was carting around my camera (along with multiple roles of film), and taking a ridiculous amount of photos of myself and my friends.
What started as a hobby, really developed into a passion a few years ago when my friends started to have babies. Besides just wanting to photograph all of the cuteness, I realized how important it was for my friends who are mothers to exist in photo's for their kids. Convincing the person who is normally behind the camera to get in front of it is not always easy, but it always ends up worth it. That feeling of capturing a true, natural moment between people is incredible, and I strive to make each shoot full of them.
EWP was officially created 3 years ago, after getting to work along side some of my favourite photographers in Thunder Bay. I have spent those past 3 years investing in my education to grow as a photographer, as well as getting to meet and photograph some truly incredible people along the way.
Most of all, and most importantly, I LOVE love. Anyone who knows me will have heard me say this often, and probably a bit loudly. I would love the chance to capture the love(s) in your life, whether it be with a pet, your children, your spouse, your friends, or anything else that brings you joy. Because in the end, it's those authentic moments that matter.

"..."We could not be more thrilled about how the photos turned out!! They truly are straight out of a fairytale"
"It was such a fun experience! She was very enthusiastic, complimentary and directive which made the “staging” that more effortless. She did a fantastic job at making the experience our own. Especially when she played our first dance song and had us dance among the snow and the trees. Every photo is beyond beautiful and we cannot wait to have her photograph our wedding later this year!""

""Thank you Erika! As always you take the best photos. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out fantastic! Your always up for finding the best locations and keeping it fun. I appreciate that you not only take the photos one would expect but also take some chances in order to capture something special. On our wedding day, you were able to wrangle our families and actually made the whole process really quick. If I ever need photos in the future I know you've got my back!""
