Creating Timeless 
Portraits of
Motherhood

Hi, I’m Erika! I’m a family photographer who’s all about capturing the real stuff — the laughs, the snuggles, the quiet little moments that make your family who you are.

My style is super relaxed and natural, focusing on connection and the kind of love you can feel just by looking at a photo. These days go by way too fast, and I want to help you hang onto them — with images that feel warm, true, and full of love! Let’s create something beautiful together that tells your story, just as it is right now.

Authentic Family Photography That Tells Your Story

A family photographer based in charming Williamsburg, VA, with a love for coffee, sweet treats, and documenting life’s most meaningful moments. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me hanging with my amazing husband, our sweet baby boy, and our three boxer pups (aka chaos in the best way). My goal is to make every session feel like quality time with a friend while capturing the kind of photos that make you feel something every time you look at them.

We had our family portraits done with Erika Frances Photography in Yorktown and I cannot recommend her enough! She was patient, creative, and made everyone—from adults to a preteen and even our dog—feel completely comfortable. Erika captured beautiful, natural moments that truly feel like us, and the photos are absolutely stunning—something we’ll treasure for years. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, kind, and amazing at handling real-life family chaos, Erika is it!

Erika made the whole experience easy, fun, and truly captured us.

I’ve now done family pictures with Erika and Mommy & Me pictures with my two little girls—she is so, so amazing! Erika goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, is incredibly patient with little kids, and helps plan everything from locations to creative ideas. She truly takes all the guesswork out of the process so you can relax and enjoy your session. I’ll definitely be booking future sessions with her and recommend her to everyone—I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I've worked with Erika for multiple sessions—including toddler portraits, family photos, and headshots—and every single experience has been fantastic. Her professionalism, passion, and positive energy make each session feel easy and comfortable (even with toddlers!). She keeps things moving smoothly, gives clear direction, and always captures the most beautiful images. My favorite part? The photos—they never disappoint. I absolutely recommend Erika; she’s a true professional in every way.

Erika brings professionalism, positivity, and delivers stunning results—every time.
