“As a doula, being in the birth room with Erika is incredible. She brings calm and compassionate energy into the room. She is mindful of staying out of the way, while also slipping in to offer a helping hand when she sees it’s needed. I’ve turned to get a cold washcloth for my birthing client only to have Erika already at my side with it, placing it in my hand. I’m always amazed to see the beautiful shots she captures, and I know Erika spends the time checking in on her clients, because this woman is all love and heart. She’s not only passionate about capturing these special memories for her clients, but also about the rights and experiences of birthing families. Erika is a gem! ”
“I could never say enough about hiring Erika to photograph the birth of our son. I recommend her to people who don’t even have children yet! She is just someone everyone has to meet.Not only does she have one of the most beautiful hearts (and smiles) of anyone I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, but she has a true gift from God to be able to create what she does through her lens.Her professionalism is unlike anyone else I’ve ever worked with, yet she makes you feel like family you have known for years.And although she is humble enough to never admit it, she has truly mastered her craft in the most amazingly beautiful way.Hiring Erika was not only an amazing experience getting to receive her work. It was an amazing experience just to know her.In the words of my 6 year old son “THAT is a special woman”.”
“Working with Erika was such a blessing. She was so much more than a photographer who was just doing a job capturing photos. She was professional with a great spirit and had a great eye at seeing what could be captured so beautifully. During my pregnancy she captured so many special moments for me that I will forever be grateful for. Before I knew it Erika was like another member of the family. I could not have imagined having anyone else capture my sons special moments. Thank you Erika for your kind heart, sweet spirit, the gentleness and kindness that you showed me while I was pregnant and more than anything the beautiful images that you captured that will live on for years to come. I look forward to working with you through out the years! ”
“Erika is very professional, inconspicuous, and serving. She has a real knack for capturing the true moments and her editing is bar none!”
“I could never put in to words how eternally grateful we are to Erika for the beautiful memories she gave us through photography. It was such a gift to not have to think of missing a moment to get the perfect shot of my labor and delivery, but most of all, of the time my children met their newest sibling. Looking back, I wish I had hired Erika for each of my three births. But I am so glad she was there this time snapping each perfect moment and creating memories of our day we will treasure forever. Never intrusive, but always in the mix at the ideal time to get my whole world on film. I am, sincerely, eternally grateful.”
“Where do I begin? I want to shout on the rooftops and say, “Everyone needs to capture their birth and with Erika Pearce.” She is literally the most magical fairy of them all! All of her photos and videos and really anything she touches she turns to gold! She is gracious, kind, respectful, loving, serving and just amazing to work with! We have so much love for her! The best around!”
“We used Erika for our maternity, birth, and newborn photography, and I am so glad we did! Not only do we now have pictures to cherish for a lifetime and share with our family and friends, but we have developed a friend in Erika. Erika was very easy to work with and takes great joy in what she does. She made us feel at ease from first meeting her to our families during the labor process. We are so glad we chose Erika to capture these special moments in our life and would recommend her to anyone! If you want great pictures and an awesome experience, go with Erika. She will not disappoint.”
“Plain and simple Erika is amazing. Being the center of attention and photographed is way outside my comfort zone, but Erika made me feel so comfortable, relaxed and at ease for my maternity shoot - it was like hanging out with an old friend. She was able to capture all the emotions and beauty of pregnancy perfectly. They pictures turned out amazing - more so than I ever could have imagined. I have always been in awe of Erika’s work and am thrilled to have my own pictures to cherish of my last pregnancy with my baby girl. I am so glad we had Erika there for the birth of our baby girl. She has somehow mastered the ability to be both present and invisible at the same time. To be able to capture the fleeting moments of pure joy and pain that are quickly forgotten in the midst of the chaos of birth is truly a talent. She was kind enough to return to photograph the moment big brother and grandma met baby girl for the first time. I am brought to tears every time I look at our album - I will cherish it always!”
