The Heart Behind the Lens

Hi there, I’m Erica

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last 13 years, it’s that the tiniest moments often carry the most meaning. The way your child reaches for your hand. The glance between partners that says everything without a word. The chaos, the quiet, the joy—it all deserves to be remembered.

I’ve been behind the camera since 2012, with over a decade of capturing the beautifully imperfect, real-life moments that families treasure forever. Nova Photography was born from that same love of storytelling. “Nova” means new, and in both Spanish and the cosmos, it represents something powerful and bright bursting into life. That’s what I try to create in every session—something honest, beautiful, and full of heart.

My photography style is warm, true-to-life, and connection-first. I don’t do stiff poses or awkward prompts. I’m here for movement, emotion, and those in-between glances that say this is us. Whether I’m photographing growing families, high school seniors, or sentimental milestones, I focus on preserving the story as it really happened.

When I’m not documenting memories for others, I’m usually deep in something creative—designing, crafting, or rearranging a space that probably didn’t need rearranging. I’m a proud mom, a fiancée (soon-to-be wife!), and a chronic iced coffee drinker. I’ve been known to rewatch The Office more times than I’d admit in public, and I fully believe that a little DIY project can solve almost anything.

More than anything, I’m someone who values the quiet, meaningful, fleeting moments. And I’m here to help you hold onto them.

Let’s tell your story together.
