Hi, I’m Erza, a local photographer specializing in portraits, couples and proposals, families, events, and real estate and architectural photography. I also offer headshots, commercial work, and professional photo editing.
With 2 years in business as a solo photographer, I focus on clean, natural images and a smooth, stress-free experience from booking to final delivery. I shoot on location throughout the city—indoors or outdoors—and I’m flexible with dates and timing.
If you’re looking for reliable, professional photos and quick, clear communication, I’d be happy to help. Reach out with your ideas and we’ll plan a session that fits your vision and schedule.

Erza did an incredible job with our engagement shoot. He turned the pictures around in record time and they turned out 10x better than we could have imagined. He was very communicative and overall a good person to have there for the special moment. We will be booking him again for sure! Great experience.
Details: Proposal photoshoot • Candid • Traditional posed • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • My home, venue, etc.

Erza was wonderful to work with! The pictures were taken professionally and the turn around time was very quick. He was super responsive to messages and flexible to work with. He implemented the visions that I had and included everyone at the photo shoot in conversation and the process to make them feel welcome. Not only were the photos and edits amazing, but the price was very affordable. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a photographer and will be using again if I need professional pictures in the future.
Details: Graduation portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.

Erza is great! He is super kind, helpful, and makes the photoshoot comfortable. I'm kind of awkward in pictures, but he made it a lot of fun. The photos turned out amazing! He is super professional, kept in touch with me about his ETA, arrived on time, and kept the photoshoot to the timeframe we'd agreed upon.
Details: Couples portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.

Working with Erza was a great decision. Erza was professional, prompt, and responsive. The turnaround time on the photos Erza took was incredible, much faster than expected. The work product was very high and reasonably priced. I would work with Erza again and would recommend Erza’s work to anyone in the market for professional photography.
Thank you very much for the kind words, Hobbs! It was my pleasure shooting for you and your house! Thank you for being patient with me while I was showing my brother the ropes of real estate photography. I hope we get to work again!

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. Rates are based on the scope of the project and always include professional editing and fast turnaround.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by confirming your goals and details for the shoot, then schedule a time that works best for you. After the session, I professionally edit the images and deliver them quickly.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have hands on training in photography through years of real world shooting, client work, and continued self education. I’ve developed my skills through practical experience, studying composition and lighting, and consistently refining my workflow to deliver high quality results for clients.
