I'm Erica
Hello! let me introduce myself.

I’m a New England-born and Southern-raised girl living the dream in Europe with my husband, Blake, and I’m on a mission to experience cultures across the globe.
I took my first trip to Europe when I was five years old. It opened my eyes and heart to a whole new world. The old-world charm and architecture, cultures and amazing food: it was love at first sight!
As I grew up, I took several trips to Europe and even spent our 10 day honeymoon in Switzerland and Italy! Each time I went back, I would dream of living there one day. And each time I flew back home to the U.S, I would have a severe case of fernweh. Little did I know that 20 years later, I would call Europe HOME.
These days I’m living in Germany with my husband, adventuring all over Europe and photographing micro-weddings and destination portrait sessions for visitors of the beautiful places across the continent. Some days I have to pinch myself to remember I’m not dreaming.
Since we’re smack-dab in the middle of Europe, we feel like the whole world is at our fingertips and we’re going to explore and discover all new foodie-finds—we’ll share them with you (and the best places to go no matter what you’re craving), I promise!—every chance we get!
No matter where in the world we are, you’ll also probably find us with our sweet golden-mix, Riley, exploring our quaint village, hiking the trails, taking a dip in the lake or river, or relaxing in a hammock taking in the sounds of nature.
My creative spirit extends beyond the lens and into our home! I am so inspired by interior design and am always looking for ways to redecorate our home or DIY antique-furniture-finds. Even though we love adventuring, there’s a special magic to coming home.

Huge fan! It's my favorite series of all time. I can watch the movies and read the books over and over and never get tired of them. “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” - Albus Dumbledore

Traveling to Interlaken, Switzerland and Lake Como, Italy for our honeymoon was definitely one of my favorite trips I've ever been on. But traveling to Budapest, Hungary with 10 other family members is a close second!

September 30, 2018 | Best day ever! It was so special being surrounded by all of our loved ones at a beautiful manor in Pennsylvania called Drumore Estate. It was the wedding of our dreams and truly a day we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

about you
My clients are explorers ready to be blown away by the view
You are ready for an adventure—but savor the journey—cherishing all of the memories made along the way, and believe that true peace is found in the mountains or by the ocean.
Let's get in touch!
Does this sound like you?
Visiting somewhere new; getting lost; new sights, sounds, smells, and tastes overwhelming your senses… traveling is truly exhilarating. It can be difficult to put into words the magic that goes along with traveling the world and soaking up each moment and new experience.
To me, exploring the world is about more than beautiful landscapes, though I love those too! Traveling is about genuine human connection. It’s about making yourself uncomfortable. It’s about doing something that makes your heart beat out of your chest! It’s about adventures like bungee jumping, swimming in the ocean, paragliding, or skydiving!
It’s about understanding. It’s about humbling yourself. And it's about learning.
