We were holding off on portraits because our lives are so busy. Erin has made this process so fun for my kids. Our 4 year old loves seeing himself on the wall in his room every day. We can’t wait for our next session!

Book a SessionYour family's story deserves more than another folder on your phone. Beautiful portraits deserve a place in the home where life happens.
One day, these photographs become the memories your family walks past every day.
Start PlanningFrom the first call to the artwork in your home, every step is created to feel simple, intentional, and uniquely yours.
A quick phone call is the easiest way to begin. Once we know we are the right fit, we will dream about your session and where these portraits will live in your home. Not sure if studio or outdoor is best? I will help you decide. Every client experience is curated just for you.
Together we will explore your style, your location, and the feeling you want these portraits to carry. Clothing, artwork ideas, studio details, outdoor locations, and the little things that make your family feel like you will all be thoughtfully considered.
Your session is customized to you and the people you love. Get ready to laugh, giggle, play, and be together. You focus on having fun. I will gently guide everything so we create images of you at your very best.
This is the moment everyone loves. Join me at the studio to see your beautiful images in a curated slideshow designed to give you goosebumps. Together, we will choose your very favorite portraits and begin designing artwork for your home.
Your finished portraits are created to be lived with. Whether you choose framed artwork, albums, or a custom wall collection, your images will become part of your home where your family will see them every day.
A few words from families who trusted Erin Lackey Photography to create portraits they now love seeing in their homes.

We were holding off on portraits because our lives are so busy. Erin has made this process so fun for my kids. Our 4 year old loves seeing himself on the wall in his room every day. We can’t wait for our next session!

We were nervous to get portraits because we are uncomfortable in front of the camera. Erin made our session fun and so comfortable. She created amazing portraits of me and my husband. Also, we love that she helped us choose which frames would look best in our home!

I was so worried that my daughter wouldn’t cooperate. Now my three year old thinks she’s visiting a friend every time we go to the studio. No matter how much chaos my daughter brings, Erin never fails to get beautiful images!

Answers To Your Common Portrait Session Questions
You want these memories to be long-lasting, memorable and FUN. I keep the sessions quick and efficient depending on what we talked about at your consultation.
Because everything leaves my studio in a form of a custom art piece, I do not sell digital files. However, my clients love the fact that they have a tangible heirloom for their home. My clients also receive a corresponding image of anything that is invested in for social media use and sharing with friends and family.
Each client's reason for investing in custom portraiture is unique. We discuss what your full investment could look like at your consultation by looking at the space in your home and deciding where these images will live.
