witnessing magic in the calm and the chaos
Erica Shirley Photography
I'm always searching for the magic within both monotony and chaos. I'm in love with creating art from the stories of families, with all their intricate webs and connections.
I'm also in love with peanut butter and manatees, so there's that.
I'm mesmerized by water, fueled by sunshine, and as invested in your photos as you are! I'm here to create poetry without words - with your family as my muse!
Hi,
I'm Erica!
about me
Beach day? Yes please! The ocean is my happy place - really anywhere with water will do. Water makes a consistent appearance in my art - so does dirt, sand, mud, and nature in all its forms. If you're up for an adventure, you're my people! Some of the most authentic and beautiful sessions I've captured are those where families are "up for anything!" Pack up your loved ones and be ready to play, laugh, and love on each other surrounded by mother nature, "mess" and all; I promise you'll find endless beauty in your own connections by ignoring me and just making memories with your people! The pretty pictures are a guarantee but the memories you'll make during your session by just enjoying each other's company are priceless!
Where is your happy place?

Working with Erica is always the best experience. She has taken pictures of our family many times and every time she blows us away. Her vision is just perfect and she is amazing with kids!!

I am so thrilled that had we had the opportunity to have our photos taken by Erica. she not only managed to make two camera-shy people feel perfectly at ease while capturing this sacred time in our lives, but we actually had so much fun! on top of everything, she has a real knack for getting the sweetest smiles out of babies.
we absolutely loved our experience and will treasure these photos forever and ever!

Erica was a delight to work with. My fiancé and I were a little nervous going into our engagement shoot, but she made it so fun and we had a blast! The pictures came out better than we could have imagined. We cannot wait for her to photograph our wedding!

Erica is a true master of her craft. This is the third time we’ve worked with her and I know we will be back for more. She is thoughtful, respectful, and an overall joy to work with. She engages with us in a way that nothing feels awkward or unnatural. She works magic with posing and angles. I have cried happy tears every single time I’ve received our gallery and have photos I will treasure forever. Thank you!

Erica was amazing to work with! We worked with her for our maternity pictures and despite the fact that pictures are NOT my husband’s forte, she really helped us feel comfortable and we had a lot of fun! I LOVE the laid back atmosphere that Erica brought to our session and how that translated to our photos. We got our pictures back exceptionally fast, and we CANNOT stop looking at them. We really feel like Erica captured our true, authentic joy and couldn’t be more thankful. We are 100% going to be working with her again in the future! THANK YOU, ERICA!
