Hello, again

portrait Photographer

Hi, I'm Erin.

I'm the wife, mom, educator, and photographer behind Erin Upton Photography.



I believe the most meaningful photographs aren't about perfect smiles or picture-perfect kids—they're about connection. The way your toddler wraps their arms around your neck. The laughter between siblings. The quiet moments you don't realize you'll miss someday.


My style is classic, light-filled, and natural. I'll gently guide you every step of the way, but I never want your session to feel overly posed or stressful. I want you to leave saying, "That was actually fun."



As a mom myself (and someone who's spent years working with children and families), I understand that real life is beautifully imperfect. Kids wiggle. Dads would rather be anywhere else. Toddlers have opinions. And somehow, those moments often become everyone's favorites.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me:


Starting my day with a cup of coffee...or 5.


Dreaming up our next family adventure (Italy is currently calling my name).


Working in education and cheering on students every day.


Listening to everything from worship music to '90s throwbacks.


Choosing the beach over the mountains every single time.


Loving on my two labradors and my precious golden - Tate, Rugby, and Crew!


Enjoying motherhood from a new perspective- with my teenage children who happen to be my  best friends.




If you've ever worried that your kids won't cooperate, that you don't know what to wear, or that you'll feel awkward in front of the camera—you're in good company. I'll help with all of that.

Because years from now, I want you to look back at your images and remember not only how this season looked, but how it felt.





Beautifully candid. Naturally styled. Timelessly yours.
