Hey pretty people, my name is Erin Murphree and ever since I was young, I have loved the arts, fashion and being creative in any way. I have owned a camera since I was a pre-teen but my passion for photography was reignited in college when I was simply shooting with my friends for fashion boutiques. Realizing that my friends and models were genuinely excited to get to shoot (because photography can create such a confidence boost), I leapt towards the opportunity to shoot every chance I could. Eventually, I started this business for the purpose of helping other women feel beautiful and confident in front of the camera. Since I have started, I have been honored enough to not only work with beautiful women, but so many amazing couples, high school seniors to college grads, babies and kiddos, families, even some awesome animals.

I graduated from Bryant High School in 2017 - then, The University of Central Arkansas in 2021 with a Business Marketing degree. I had very big dreams to climb up the fashion ladder and have my "Rachel Green" moment. So, immediately after I graduated, I leapt after those dreams and worked as an Assistant Buyer for Dillard's Department Stores - SO fun! I started my journey in the Ladies + Juniors Swim Department and eventually assisted Calvin Klein Suiting. Getting to work under amazing buyers, assisting commercial photoshoots, collaborating with advertising - it was all so amazing and honestly fulfilled a lot of my dreams. Yet, I still craved the creative field of photography... After a while of juggling both - I ultimately left my corporate cube for my passion!

Having worked in the fashion industry most my life (since I was 16 years old), it is fair to say I have always / will always love fashion + styling! I strongly believe that if you love what you are wearing, you will feel better & be more confident through the day. So, have fun with your sessions with unique, bold textures and colors! We can work together to find what makes you confident so that your images reflect your true style and personality!

I love the whole process of photography - getting to meet amazing people, capture their moments, the editing, creativity and everything in between. My goal in photography is to make whoever is in front of my camera feel beautiful and empowered - because everyone deserves to feel that way! I hope to create a comfortable environment that you feel free to

Thank you for being here!

The love of my life proposed in Yellowstone on our roadtrip in June 2024... we will be married in May 2025 and we share a dog named Indie (named after her birthdate, July 4). Being with Zack since 2017, I am more in love now than I was every day before. It is so fun to grow up with your best friend/love of your life. We love to travel and hope to hit all the national parks in our lifetime.
