Hi, I'm Erina!

I am located just east of Pittsburgh. I love my city, my Steelers, my thrift stores, and my family! I drink too much coffee and could spend days curled up reading a Nora Roberts book.

I've been taking pictures for more than half of my life. From the time I was a teenager I was fascinated with photography. I love the angles that not everyone sees, the details you might miss on a daily basis. I took courses in high school and college, and throughout the years have had my pieces showcased at events and displayed in offices and restaurants. Nothing makes me happier than someone who loves my work enough to hang it on their wall.

In 2017 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It came out of nowhere and hit me like a brick. At the same time I also had a cancer scare. I'll never forget the day that I found out it wasn't cancer after all! I danced out of the hospital. It really put things into perspective for me and helped me be more positive about my condition. I realized that life is what you make it, and that every single day is precious.

My two spunky girls have inspired me to turn my talent toward portraiture. I love photographing children and families. Kids change so much, so fast, and their innocence is like nothing else in the world. I sincerely enjoy capturing their moments during laughter and play!

Over the last year I've found a new passion in Acrylic Pour Painting. It's something our entire family has come to enjoy, and every piece is so unique!

You'll also see me at craft shows selling matted prints, magnets, framed photos, and one of a kind pieces of art. Last year I partnered with the amazing owners of the Steel Goat Marketplace in Penn Hills and currently have my own mini shop there. From animals to architecture, I have something for everyone!
