One thing I (Erica) love almost as much as photography is teaching others about photography. That's why I offer private training and mentoring, host a portrait photography podcast, lead workshops around the world, speak at conferences, and have a series of educational blog posts for photographers.

the importance of

podcasts

I began the Portrait Session Podcast in 2015 and have since grown it with the help of my co-host(s) to a worldwide educational resource. Designed specifically for photographers who specialize in portraiture, we cover everything from business to legal to accounting to lighting to posing and everything in between. If you're into portraits, you'll be into this.

The Master Photography Podcast is another podcast that I co-own and co-host. This podcast is a prime educational resource for photographers of all genres and levels. Covering literally anything photography related you can think of, this is the best option for photographers looking for a weekly dose of inspo and edu.

"I HAVE SEEN A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN MY BOOKINGS AND INQUIRIES SINCE STARTING THE MENTORSHIP WITH ERICA!"

"Erica's portfolio reviews are absolutely honest, but always done in a very kind way. She doesn't avoid pointing out the negatives, but there is a superb balance between the negatives and positives."

"It's incredibly valuable not just to have Erica's expert opinions, but to get honest and supportive constructive criticism."

"This is an invaluable resource!"
