Will hike for photos!
I'm actually kind of emo and pretty introverted, but I love getting to know people, especially while taking photos! I always feel like there is a reason for every person that I meet, like the universe brings us together even for just a small moment in time.
I'm Erica, your new adventure buddy
Want to get to know me a little better?
I started To the Sea as a baby blog in 2011. But here's where it really started...
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. The first morning I woke up to emerald green mountains pouring into the bluest water, I knew it was a place I meant to be.
About me
I studied Geography & Earth Sciences during my undergraduate years at the University of Hawaii, and went on to law school at the same college. After law school and a bit of traveling, I settled back in my hometown of S.P.I. and started working for a law firm. I still spent my evening taking photos, and eventually took a leap away from law firm life into full-time photography (and some part-time lawyering).
my favorite assistant!
Off to college...
Now I travel with my family, working in my three favorite places, S.P.I., Mexico, and Kaua'i, doing what I love.
