About DA Erickson Photography
My journey as a photographer began in the 1980s, when I made the decision to pursue photography professionally. Armed with a Pentax MX camera, Kodachrome slide film, and black-and-white film, I photographed my very first wedding. That experience made me realize I had much more to learn—so I returned to college and earned a degree in portrait photography.
Since then, I’ve specialized in weddings, events, portraits, photo editing, and photographic artwork. I’m drawn to capturing people in authentic moments—real emotions, subtle expressions, and the character that lies beyond the standard smile. My focus is on preserving unique memories and creating images that are both timeless and artistic.
My Philosophy & Style
A professional photographer must master exposure, focus, composition, and background—but I always go above and beyond those technical requirements.
Over the years, I’ve developed my own distinctive photographic style, inspired by legendary artists such as:Henri Cartier-Bresson, who captured fleeting, perfect moments with elegance, Ernst Haas, whose use of color and motion brought his images to life, and Dorothea Lange, whose portraits conveyed deep emotional resonance
The DA Erickson Difference
We founded DA Erickson Photography to deliver the highest standards in both photography and cinematography. What sets us apart is our rich history and decades of experience that began in the era of film.
As photography evolved from the magic of film to the precision of digital, we embraced new technology while preserving the artistry and discipline of film photography. With film, there’s no preview—no second chances. You have to know your craft inside and out. That’s why our photographs consistently stand out: they’re created with intention, expertise, and a touch of magic.
