My name is Erica, and I have been a professional family and children's photographer for 10 years in Virginia, Japan, and now California. My husband's Navy career moved us around for a while, but I'm excited to finally land and put down roots in Ventura County. If your school is looking for a new photographer, we should chat. My goal is to provide a better and more personal experience to all the families who attend the schools I photograph. Please review this page for more information about how we can work together.
Ready for a new way to do
school pictures?
My school portraits are a modern approach to school photos. They’re meant to bring out the true personalities of the children being photographed. I use a “less is more” mindset to create portraits that are true to the child on the other side of the lens. This results in images that are natural, classic and soulful. Sometimes the children smile, sometimes they laugh, sometimes they are deep in thought. Whatever images I create for your families, my promise is to make sure they're authentic and emotive.
"Not only is Erica incredibly organized, but she is warm and caring and works wonderfully with our students! The photos were beautiful, and our parents were incredibly happy with the way they turned out. From an administrative perspective, Erica handled everything and made picture day seamless. We have already booked Erica for next year and look forward to working with her for years to come!" -Annette, Sonshine Preschool Director, Ventura

Why choose boutique school photography?
It's a great way to offer a more unique service to your families.
All parent communications regarding the ordering process, etc. is handled by Erica Hurlburt Photography.
Orders are completed exclusively online. No order forms, paperwork or money for staff to keep track of.
I offer staff images and whole class photos if desired by the school. Teachers and staff receive these complimentary digital downloads of these images.
Custom collections and product offerings can be created for each individual school's needs. Photos can be taken with or without a solid backdrop.
No obligation to purchase upfront
I provide a variety of poses to choose from in each child's gallery. Each child will receive 3-6 different image choices in their gallery, both in color and black and white.
These images reflect each child's natural expressions and personality, rather than forced, fake smiles.
Fine Art Portraits stand the test of time and are images parents will want to display in their homes for years to come.
