I'M ERIN,
NATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDOGRAPHER

I work with brands, businesses, and brilliant people who are done playing small. My job is to create bold photos and films that help you show up with confidence online, in print, on camera, and in the real world.

From brand films and commercial shoots to personal work that still feels like art, I blend clarity, creativity, and clean visual strategy so what we create actually works for your business, your team, and your audience. 

WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT HERE

my style is journalistic, intential, and strategic.

real moments. professional content. built to last.

I specialize in photography and film that feels natural while serving a clear purpose. Every project blends storytelling with strategy capturing real moments with intention so the final work is both compelling and usable across platforms.

Whether we’re filming on location for a multi-site organization or creating content for a growing brand, the approach stays the same: understand the goal, respect the environment, and document what’s true. The result is visual content that feels human, polished, and designed to support how your brand actually operates.

Your visuals should work as hard as your business does.

it’s how she makes me feel: comfortable, confident, seen. 

I’ve worked with Erin for years, and there’s truly no one else I’d trust to document the evolving versions of me. From big life shifts to subtle internal transformations, she’s captured it all with care, clarity, and so much talent.
What sets her apart isn’t just the quality of her work (though it’s always stunning), it’s how she makes me feel: comfortable, confident, seen. I never feel the need to perform or pretend, just show up as I am, and she somehow brings out the magic in that. Every shoot with her has felt like a safe space to be fully myself, no matter the season I’m in. And that’s a rare gift.

she is the perfect mix of professional, soothing + artistic

Erin Wakeman doesn’t just take pictures, she creates an expressive visual story for your team to share with potential candidates and clients. As a corporate recruiter in a competitive environment, I am always looking for creative ways to highlight my teams and help them express their unique assets to attract high quality candidates. Our collaboration with Erin was nothing short of magical. She was able to meet each team in their comfort zone and use her charming personality to put them at ease and coax their true essence into her photos and videos. She is the perfect mix of professional, soothing, and artistic...so even those teams that were nervous about the idea of creating a video, ended up thoroughly enjoying the experience and couldn’t help but swell with pride at their final conceptions.

i felt empowered, confident, alive + more excited about my business

I was so nervous to get brand photos done as posing in front of a camera is super outside of my comfort zone. But Erin made them SO fun, natural, and easy!
By the end of our session I felt empowered, confident, alive, and even more excited about my business and leveling up. Erin’s energy is bright and contagious and it shows through in her photography.
Truly the best of the best!

2012

My first baby was born and I picked up a camera to document real life as it was happening. Leaning how to use a "big camera" gave me a window into creativity that unlocked the next chapter of my life.

2017

Video gave me a bigger canvas, and no one was doing it yet. Movement, energy, and story all working together. It pushed my work beyond single images, into full visual narratives and opened the door to working with brands that needed an edge to their marketing.

videography set me apart in the industry

2020

During COVID, the work shifted fast. Companies needed a way to connect in uncertain and restricted times. Film became essential for communicating clearly and building trust. So we told their stories and kept brands alive through the powerful medium of videography.

covid made film more valuable than ever

2021

We relocated from Washington to Texas and I committed full time to brand photography and film. This was the shift from saying yes to projects I loved to intentionally building work for brands that needed strong visuals, clear storytelling, and consistency as they grew.
