HEY! HELLO! HOWDY!

I'm

Erika Joy

and I'm SO glad you're here. I am a Chicago based travel photographer & lover of light, preferring to see the world through rosé colored glasses (yes that’s a wine pun). I love capturing raw and real love, family milestones, and beautiful landscapes. If any of that sounds like your jam, send me a message and let’s connect! I want to help bring your vision to life!

    “All we can say is WOW. Erika truly understood the assignment! She not only helped us every step of the way with planning our day, but also kept us on schedule, hyped the whole wedding party, and made sure we still captured those classic images that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful we entrusted Erika’s fun-loving spirit and expertise for our special day. Thanks doesn’t even begin to cut it!”

    “Working with Erika was a dream. Since we got a free engagement session with the wedding package we chose, she felt like a friend from the start. We loved how she made sure we were comfortable and cared for all evening and truly went beyond what we thought a photographer would do- especially when it came to help getting the dance floor started! Our photos turned out perfect, thank you, Erika!”
