A shout out to photographer extraordinaire, Erika of Pixels + Paper Studio. I needed some professional shots for my website and socials & Erika made it easy! She came to my home, was patient with all my wardrobe changes and then helped me choose the best shots.
If you want some beautiful shots for personal or professional purposes, Erika can give you a great experience for a price that won’t break the bank. And I’m really happy with the results! Thank you Erika!

Engaging Erika to take the photos for my website was a smooth, fun experience. I couldn’t have been happier with the process nor the results. Erika met the brief perfectly and also offered some great creative suggestions. She took time to get everything right and was accommodating, patient and easy to get along with throughout the entire project, incl briefing, shoot, image selection and editing. It’s nice to work wth someone who takes so much care in what they do. The final photos were even better than I’d hoped for. I would highly recommend Erika.

Such a great experience with the Short + Sweet session. Super professional and fun, and the photos were amazing and turned around really quickly. Highly recommend!

It had been a while since I updated my headshot, mainly because I don't particularly enjoy being myself in front of the camera - playing a character is different!! A friend had some beautiful shots done by Erika, so I knew they'd look good, but I was absolutely thrilled with how easy she made the whole experience. Erika is professional, creative and incredibly patient. I had a few ideas and so did Erika. She was so flexible with trying out ideas, but because she has a great eye, she knew immediately what was going to work and what wasn't. And she was right!
​
Erika makes sure she gets the best out of your photoshoot by ensuring you are at ease and comfortable. Her lighting is beautiful and she knows how to capture the balance between ensuring her subject looks great but also 'real'.
​
The turnaround on proofs was fast and I really appreciated Erika's keen eye in highlighting her 'pick' in the vast selection of shots she provided. Once again, she was spot on!
If you're after great, natural but beautiful shots with a minimum of fuss and a high level of professionalism and rapport, I can thoroughly recommend Erika's services.

Working with Erika was fun and easy! Before the shoot we discussed ideas of what I wanted and needed for a yoga branding shoot. Erika was professional, patient and helpful with suggestions on how we could make the most of our session. Despite having to move between 2 different locations in one afternoon, the session felt effortless and efficient. I couldn’t have been happier with the final results. I ended up getting more photos than I’d originally planned to, and now have a great suite of images that I can use for my website and socials.

I have had the pleasure of working with Erika to photograph/
document four of my architectural projects and I can't wait to work with her again. Each time it has been an absolute delight. Her strong design sensibility and superb photographic skills mean that her architectural photographs are beautifully composed and executed. Erika is able to flawlessly bring my vision to life. She is also a wonderful stylist and is extremely intuitive and pleasant to spend time with.

I hired Erika to photograph my mother and me to mark the occasion of her 100th birthday. From the minute she walked into our home, Erika’s warmth put us at ease. She spent time getting to know us and our surroundings. Her advice, as to the colour of our outfits and location of the shoot was appreciated. Erika always strived to make us feel comfortable and happy.
The photoshoot was a pleasant experience, relaxed and fun. It was always with a smile that she would suggest various poses. She didn’t stop until she was satisfied she had captured the ‘magic’.
Delivery of the prints was prompt. We had a wide choice from which to choose. I was blown away by the final products. The portraits encapsulate the loving bond between mum and me. I will cherish them forever.
Working with Erika was an absolute pleasure. She is highly professional and extremely talented in her field. I strongly recommend Erika to anyone seeking outstanding photos.
