Commercial Photographer|Covington Louisiana Session-Jonah Grace

I am blessed and grateful to work with some truly wonderful clothing designers.  Jonah Grace was the designer that took a huge chance on me.  She patiently let me refine my craft and  learn new skills.  Her clothes are so beautifully designed.  This is one from her most recent launch.  My children love her clothes.  They are comfortable and well made.

Thank you, T, for working with me.  You're amazing through and through!  

I knew the perfect location for these darling clothes would be in downtown Covington.  Louisiana boasts so much charm.  Something about downtown always gives inspiration when I shoot.  

 

Child Photographer, Covington/Mandeville-Little Luna

Thank you for letting my photograph you, Luna!  You were a bit under the weather, but you pulled through like a champ.  I must admit, your parents rolled out the red carpet for me with donuts and coffee.  This assured, they treasure you to the fullest, Luna.  Your family is so dear.  Please tell Mookie I said "hello" next time you see him! 

Lipgloss & the Ballerina, Covington and Mandeville Child Photographer

My ballerina just started her fifth year of dance.  She has moved up to a class that requires black leotards.  This is a HUGE milestone her mind.  She is so excited!  I had shown her my halo lighting earlier in the day, and she asked if she could have a quick shoot before class wearing some "lipstick".  Of course, I happily obliged!  Here's to a fantastic year for my Ella Joy! 

Christmas Mini Sessions| Covington Photographer, Northshore and New Orleans

This year's Christmas Mini Sessions are going to be stunning.  September 30, I'll be in NOLA at Il Mercato for my urban session.  Il Mercato is a gorgeous venue that boasts much character and class.  I have shot there before and loved every second of it.  October 22, I'll be outdoors creating a Timeless look surrounded by Louisiana's beautiful greenery.  The sessions are $200 each.  It comes with 5 digital images for download.  The session is 20 min.  You will have an online gallery to choose your images.  I also will be sending clients style layouts that compliment each location for inspiration to help you coordinate family clothing. 

Payment is due in full at the time of booking.  I open the session for booking on AUGUST 29 at 8AM.  Phone calls and voicemails are taken in the order in which they are received.  These sessions are LIMITED.

Senior Portrait Session|Covington and Mandeville Photography-Victoria

Senior sessions are so much fun!  Victoria is starting her senior year.  She is kind and funny and very sweet.  I was asked to take her senior photos and was so excited.  Victoria used to dance ballet, and I asked if she'd indulge me a bit.  There is something so elegant about ballerinas.  Heck, there is something so beautifully elegant about just their slippers!  Here is a little sneak peek of Victoria!

Commercial Photographer| New Orleans, Covington, Mandevillle- Robyn&Wren

I'm blessed to work with some truly amazing clothing designers.  The talents of my dear friends at Jonah Grace and Robyn & Wren are truly extraordinary.  The latter recently launched her Fall line, and I thought that the beautiful city of New Orleans would be a fantastic backdrop for these beautiful clothes.  Here are just a couple from the session.  I'll post the second half when they clothes launch.

Happy Birthday to Charlie!  Okay, so maybe it wasn't his exact birthday, but we celebrated anyway.  Let me tell you something about Charlie.  He is the most fun-loving and smiley child on the face of the planet.  I've had the privilege of seeing him through his first year of life and he's been that same child from birth.  What a gift he is to this world!  So here's to a Happy Birthday for sweet Charlie!  We can celebrate your birthday year 'round, as far as I'm concerned!

Lifestyle Newborn Session|Covington Mandeville Louisiana Photographer-Emma's Newborn Session

I honestly have the best clients ever.  They are so kind and caring.  They are genuine and sweet.  I'm not sure how the Lord brings such wonderful people in my path, but they will never know how grateful I am for my clients.  One of my biggest pleasures is to build a relationship with my clients to the point that they contact me much like a old friend would.  I was called to go visit sweet baby Emma.  She has reached the sweet age of 7 days.  It was such a special time.  Every time I enter into a session, my focus is something along the lines of, "how can I capture the feeling of this day into these photographs".  Every decoration, smell, texture, etc that I see, I absorb and try to find a way to communicate that into my photography.  Lifestyle Newborn sessions are one of my most favorite things!  Emma was just as charming today as she was last week when she made her grand debut.  Thank you, Nick & Kristen.  I was honored to be in your home today.  You two are amazing parents.  Emma is a dream, and she is a blessed little girl to have you parent her.  

Covington Birth Photography| Covington Mandeville Northshore Birth-Welcome, Baby Emma!

Kristen and Nick contacted me months ago about capturing their baby girl's entrance into this world.  Well, July 20th 2016 at 5 PM on the dot, this little dear was born!  Her mother was absolutely incredible.  She transitioned like none other.  She pushed for a mere 15 minutes and sweet Emma Florence was here!  It was my absolute honor to witness this little miracle's birth.  To see two special people like Kristen and Nick becoming parents was a joy I can never put into words. Congratulations, you two.  She is so BEAUTIFUL!  Her little cheeks and lips are so precious.  Well done!

I've Been Waiting to Tell You... Birth Photographer-Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, New Orleans and Baton Rouge Photography

I've been ITCHING to announce the big news!  Might as well say it officially now!  I'm tickled pink to let you all know that Birth Photography is very much alive and well here at Erika Pearce Photography.  With the work that I do in our community, it seemed a natural fit for me to venture into Birth Photography.  I have had the best time getting to know my birth clients and being able to be there in this way.  I developed such a bond with my birth photographer.  I'm honored and excited to do the same with my very own birth clients.   Thank you to all that support me and have guided me to this place.  It's a sweet and wonderful place to be for sure.
