I am not the photographer for everyone. And I'm ok with that. Not everyone wants to be seen, heard, known, and loved, and that's ok! But for those who do, that is why I am here! I'm here to listen to your story. I genuinely want to know you! Being a teen in today's world is HARD....and I genuinely want to hear about it! What have you struggled with? What has broken your heart? What have you overcome? What are you proud of? What are you most looking forward to as you think about the next season in your life after high school? Who do you want to be remembered as RIGHT NOW?! I want to know! What do you love? What brings you joy? What makes you YOU?! I want to know! I'm here to help you bring your vision to life in the most epic senior photoshoot and I want you to leave our time together feeling like a QUEEN, knowing you are deeply loved and cherished, and that you are BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, and WORTHY!

Ready to take it to the next level and be a part of the
Erika Rene Senior Spokesmodel Team?!

interested in being a spokesmodel?

The Erika Rene Senior Spokesmodel Team is a team of amazing girls who are chosen toward the end of their junior year to represent Erika Rene Photography for the duration of their senior year. The team will get to participate in several different photoshoots throughout the year, a big styled shoot with free hair and makeup, have the opportunity to go on a senior trip with the team and get amazing photos in a destination location, win cash prizes, and be supported and encouraged by and build community with a group of young women who value kindness, authenticity, love, empowerment, and community over competition. 

"Erika is one of the sweetest people I've ever met; and on top of that, one of the most talented photographers! She had so many out of the box ideas for our shoot, and we got so many images I LOVE. We even made it on the COVER of a magazine, which made my mom cry and was a HUGE DEAL for me! Erika brings such a fun presence to the photoshoot- she makes you feel comfortable, makes sure you are having a good time, and that you feel supported and loved. Such a fun experience!"

What Seniors are saying:

"My senior photoshoot experience was so amazing! Erika was so wonderful and made me feel so BEAUTIFUL! For a long time I have suffered with low self esteem, but during my photoshoot I felt like a QUEEN! Erika captured all of the right angles and had me move in all the right positions. When I saw my gallery I couldn't even believe it was me! Not only did I feel like a PRINCESS, the pictures showed me I did! I left our experience together feeling like Erika helped me to step into my God-given beauty. I didn't even know I could do that! She is the sweetest person, and best photographer ever!"

"No words could ever truly express how deeply grateful I am for who Erika is as a person. Not only is she one of the most talented people I have ever met, but she is also extremely kindhearted, motivational, and willing to go above and beyond to see you succeed. I have had the pleasure of knowing Erika not only as a photographer but as a voice teacher, and I see her as a close friend rather than either of those things. She has inspired me to be a better person in every aspect of my life and I am so excited to be a part of representing her photography business!"

- Marin

"I absolutely LOVED working with Erika! She made me feel very comfortable, safe, and BEAUTIFUL! She is such an uplifting, kind, HILARIOUS person who never fails to put a smile on my face! The photos she took turned out AMAZING and the experience was SPECTACULAR. My parents are utterly in love with the photos as well!"
