What people are saying…

  • My experience with Lovers Locket photography was truly a dream! I'm usually kinda awkward when it comes to taking photos, but Erika made me feel so comfortable! She was incredibly patient and kind throughout the entire session. I had such a blast! When I received my photos, I was completely in awe! My mom and I loved how they turned out; they really expressed who I am as a person and made me feel even more confident. Erika was the absolute best!!!

    -Brinley, Kenner Discovery High School, Class of 2025

  • I have never had professional pictures done before Erika. She made me feel so comfortable and made it fun. She stood out from other photographers because of her willingness to change plans at the last second and her willingness to do anything to get a great shot. The pictures are great quality and beautiful. I highly recommend Erika, I loved everything about the whole experience.

    Trinity, Belle Chasse, Class of 2024

  • Erika did a fantastic Job making my vision a reality! Erika and her Husband Sean’s dedication to creating my Canoe Senior photoshoot was truly an unmatched experience. From the moment I contacted her until after the photos were in my possession she has been such a responsive and supportive photographer. Her knowledge of Nola and editing skills allow her photos to create such an immersive experience that will continue to capture the essence of my journey into adulthood for all the years that follow.

    Chloe, LHS, 2024

  • "BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER If I could leave a 10 star review I could! My pictures turned out amazing and I cannot be more grateful for Erika!"

    Kadence, Belle Chasse, Class of 2025

  • Makes the session very comfortable especially for beginners! Absolutely love her work!!

    Eliza, Belle Chasse, Class of 2024
