Hello, My name is Erica. I love taking photographs. I am currently settling in to L.A. and the west coast. I co-founded the Detroit based Lucent Photography and occasionally work under We Will Shoot Your Face.

Some of my work includes the Ypsi Project and This Place is Empty. You can find me in L.A. and Detroit.

Something old, something new, something borrowed…

Erica Hampton Photography (aka: my lonely little self ) traveled to Armada MI to shoot the beautiful Nicole and Kenny on their wedding day. The wedding destination was a quaint little bed and breakfast with a lovely garden for the exchange of vows.

We then took a trip to down town Detroit for a few fun shots with the bridal party before I had to jump on my flight back to L.A.!

Please check out the Nicole and Kenny set on Flickr for more images from their special day.

The adorable Nicole and Kenny. I traveled to Detroit to shoot this wedding. While it was hot and I was eaten alive by mosquitos it was worth it! Nicole and Kenny are perfect together and their wedding was lovely. I’m happy I could be a part of their special day :) 

My portfolio is way out of date so I’ve been digging through my (incredibly, ridiculously messy) harddrive trying to cull and organize my images. I found this little gem. Her Mom was a little upset she refused to take off her princess outfit and wear a matching white shirt like the rest of the family. I tried to reassure her, telling her that her daughters stubborn streak made for adorable photos and lovely memories. I’m not sure my reassurance worked at the time, but I hope she looks back on these with a warm heart. I hope all my clients can look back on their photos that I’ve created for them and remember good times, funny personalities and how they use to be :)

Just one of my favorites from my session with Miranda. 

Mike took this photo of Maeby and myself on my birthday. Yes, we have matching scarves. Judge me and you’ll get a raspberry.

My birthdays are generally uneventful. I’ve never really liked my birthday. My 18th was pretty alright, but other than that I don’t get too excited. I do enjoy seeing my brother, sister and step-dad for dinner. I missed doing that this year. Xander is in Michigan, but he drew me a picture with unicorns and told me I should paint the house like my favorite imaginary place. I thought that was the best idea ever and have plans to do just that - I just need some paint brushes. And paint. 

Mike hand made my 3rd addition to my birthday book series. It’s pretty amazing, having a story written about you, for you, every year for your birthday. I am most certainly spoiled. 

I also was given my lost locket on my birthday. Several days before I had lost my very sentimental locket with Xander’s photo inside. It’s indescribable, not seeing him everyday. The locket is symbolic of my love for Xander and reminds me of why I’m here and I lost it. I was a little depressed. Apparently Mike found it the same day but decided to keep it and give it to me later, because he’s a punk.

In the end it was a quiet day spent being quiet with my boom-anime-maebs (Maeby) and Mike. 

If you wished me a happy birthday, thank you bunches *hug*
