About Me

Photographer. Writer. Storyteller

Erin feels weird talking about herself in the third person, but here we go.

Erin (she/her) is a photographer and writer and a born and raised Michigander who is available for assignments in SE Michigan and beyond. She graduated from the University of Michigan where she studied English and creative writing, but learned how to be a photojournalist at the student-run Michigan Daily. Before joining the freelance world, Erin worked as a newspaper photographer — although her love for photography stretches beyond journalism. As a freelancer she’s worked for organizations such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, ESPN and Rolling Stone. If she’s not working, she’s probably baking, falling asleep on the couch by 9 p.m., or working in her cut flower garden.

She is a member of Women Photograph, Michigan Press Photographers Association, and a coach at the Detroit Writing Room. She is a signatory of the Photo Bill of Rights.
