An adventurous photographer with deep roots in Florida, Kate’s work is influenced by her relationship with the land around her. She offers two packages for families, with one being more traditionally structured. These images consist of a combination of natural poses and candid moments. They’re bright and expressive images that would be completely at home framed and hung.

She also offers a pure documentary package that captures a day in the life of your family.  In these images, Kate is only an observer, doing no coaching or posing at all since it’s purely journalistic. Her mastery of these two distinct styles makes her one of the best Orlando family photographers working today.

These beautifully framed moments are a great way to document your family and look back on fond memories for years to come. Erika’s boutique-style photography work has been featured nationally, which doesn’t surprise us. In her own words: “The vision I hope to capture for your family is one where love just pours off your portraits.”
