My name is Erica. I grew up roaming the shores of South Padre Island, Texas with a 110mm film Barbie film camera in my hand. Whenever I finished a roll I'd take to our local grocery store to develop. I still remember the anticipation of seeing how my photos would turn out, and the joy of sticking them into various albums and scrapbooks. When film went to digital, the camera never left my hands. I joined yearbook at Port Isabel High School and documented student life in addition to my own. Making photos and memories has always been a passion of mine, but I never really thought it would be my job. After high school I left Texas for the University of Hawai'i.
