Hey! It's me, Erika

Simply put — I love, love

I'm a lifestyle photographer based in Baltimore, Maryland. I am dedicated to capturing authentic love, beauty and memories. I want to take your story and make it into a work of art that will last a lifetime. With the everyday hustle of life, it can be a challenge to slow down and appreciate the moments that truly matter.

Let's freeze time together.

See my work

More on me? You got it.

I’ve called Baltimore home for nearly 20 years, but I’m originally from Long Island, where my love for creating began at a young age. I was always making something, and thankfully, I never grew out of it.

That creative spirit eventually brought me to Baltimore, where I studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art and earned my BFA in Painting. While painting became an important part of my artistic foundation, I had always been drawn to photography. I took photography courses throughout high school and college, and naturally became the friend who was always documenting the moments, people, and memories that meant the most.

As a queer woman, creating spaces where people can feel comfortable, seen, and fully themselves is especially important to me. I know how meaningful it can be to have someone who not only captures your story, but truly celebrates it. Whether I’m photographing a love story, a family, a milestone, or simply the beauty of being exactly who you are, I want my work to feel genuine, inclusive, and full of heart.

Eventually, I realized I wanted to turn my passion for photography into something more. In 2021, I started Later Days Photography with the hope of creating meaningful images while sharing my love of art and storytelling with others.

Since then, photography has taken me places I never imagined. It’s where I feel most creative and confident, and where I get to make art alongside the people I photograph. There’s something incredibly special about watching an idea come to life through my lens—and I still get chills when I see my vision come together.

What I love most about photography is the people. Every person, couple, family, and story I get to work with opens my world a little more. I’m grateful for every opportunity to collaborate, create, and be invited into meaningful moments.

It’s an honor to help tell your story, and I don’t take that trust lightly.

Incusivity


Being a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself has given me the opportunity to capture the lives and special moments of many other queer folk. It is such an honor to create a safe space for queer people to be celebrated and their love cherished. I don't exclusively work with the queer community, I welcome everyone no matter how they identify, their culture, or status. This is exactly what makes you who you are, there is nothing more beautiful than your authentic self.


I believe love is love, black lives matter, no human is illegal,

all abilities should be respected and gender is nonbinary.

I had Erika do an engagement photoshoot for me and my fiance. I could not possibly describe the sheer excitement she had to be a part of this session. Her passion is very genuine and sincere not just for photography but the people she photographs. She was very professional as well and came with her own ideas and references.

Erika was brought on as a second shooter for my wedding and was such an unexpected blessing! She captured photos of our amazing day perfectly and is the definition of “chill”. She gives off an air of calm that is hard to put into words that is extremely comforting. My husband who hates photos, gave genuine smiles when doing photos with her. I can’t say enough good things about her!

Erika is amazing and super talented. The process is super organized and easy to set up. You're sure to have a lot of fun and feel at ease with her creative ideas and friendly attitude and end up with an awesome result in your photos!!

I have had the pleasure to work with Erika twice, and each time she has been incredibly thoughtful in the sets she designs, the creative shots she captures, and the clear direction she gives. She is so talented at making her subjects feel comfortable and her final vision is always beyond stunning!


Danielle // Maryland

I've had several shoots with Erika and she's so creative with her visions and makes sure you're comfortable the whole time. She knows how to recommend great poses, what lighting will work best, what props. And the photos are just stunning! 10/10

Erika was soooo good! Her communication skills are superb. Erika was prepared and organized for our mini Christmas shoot. She was so patient with my silly 85lb boxer and even helped dangle some toys to get that perfect shot. She has a quick turnaround time! We are in love with these pictures and can't wait for our friends and family to see them in our 2021 Christmas Card.
