Meet Erika

Hi, I’m Erika! I’m a creative entrepreneur, photographer, and educator. My husband Jake and I live in Charleston, SC with our 16, 17 & 18 year old daughters & 2 dogs. Whether I’m teaching photography, planning a new project, or just enjoying a time with my family, I’m always looking for ways to bring a little more creativity into the world. Over the years, photography has taken me in some exciting directions. From creating timeless portraits and stunning landscapes since 2007 to teaching over online photography courses, I’ve built my career around capturing and sharing the beauty I see. I also love helping others turn their creative spark into something amazing, whether it’s through my classes or my upcoming YouTube channel, where we’ll share projects, ideas, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of our adventures.My dream is to spend more time traveling, exploring the outdoors, and living life on my own terms, one creative step at a time. Thanks for stopping by! Whether you’re here to learn photography, find inspiration, or just say hi, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s create something amazing together!

Linkedin Recommendations


"Erika is a wonderful photographer! She’s been taking our family photos for several years now and she has worked magically with our two small children. She is very patient and produces exquisite photos.

Our eight year old daughter was also a student in her beginners photography class last year. Our daughter quickly learned the basics of shooting good photos and Erika inspired a love of photography that persists today.

Highly recommended!"
"Erika has all the above but what makes her unique is specifically her character, Erika has an uncompromising work ethic and can be trusted to "go it alone" in moments of stress for the organization.
The talents she has in photography, the way she makes people feel while working with them as an artist in her field inspires me every time I see her mastery.
You would be hard-pressed to find a more caring, talented personal photographer or trustworthy employee/contractor.
I highly recommend Erika."
"Erika Hatfield has done the most beautiful portraits of my family. From beautifully landscaped wedding photography for my son's wedding through touching and gentle portraits of my grandchildren.. Erika's work is hands down the best I've ever seen. I would recommend her to anyone who wants quality work for their most important life events! Professional and artistic talent."
