Meet Carlie - A 2026 Senior from Milford, MI.

Carlie came to me with very specific requests. She had her heart set on a whimsical, playful, nostalgic feel. We spent our evening at Formar Nature Preserve and Arboretum in Burton, MI. We captured her youthful side in an adorable gingham top with senior embroidered jeans!

Casually, we strolled through the park looking for pretty nooks and crannies to use before ending our session with a STUNNING, glowy, golden sunset.

Her gallery preview is a combination of everything she loves - Nature, flowers, vintage, and whimsy.

I'm Erica!
A self taught photographer and mother of two. I chose to become a photographer because it allows me the freedom to be at home with my kids, while still giving me a creative outlet! My photography style is warm and natural, with lots of contrast! I shoot in the evenings towards sunset to achieve that beautiful warm, golden, light-drenched glow! Why hire me? I promise to never let you stand there with your hands hanging by your sides and feeling awkward. I will prompt you with guided movements more than I pose you. The best photo's are the ones you weren't looking! I also promise to make it memorable, never stressful. So show up, be present in the moment, and have fun. I've got the rest. I will fix your hair, fix your clothes, whatever it takes to make you feel and look incredible!
