Weddings, Events and You!
Located in Northwest Wisconsin, my goal is to capture your life, your adventures, your everything.
I primarily serve Western Wisconsin (Menomonie, Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, River Falls, Hudson) and the Twin Cities area but I am very much open to travel and capturing you in your favorite corner of the world. Now for the big question - why should you stick around, check out my work and hopefully add me to your 'short list' of photographers that you believe can truly capture you, your style and your life? How about three reasons? :)
- There's more to me than just Black & White and Sepia Tones
I honestly believe that one of the strongest qualities that sets my art apart from so many others out there is my prowess for creativity. Take a look at posts in my Wedding category to get a great idea of my shooting and artistic style.
- I'm professional but also FUN
My goal for every shoot I am on is that when it's done - I want to have captured all of the memories you were hoping for while having a good time getting there. My personality is laid back with a touch of quirky humor. Basically - I feel like I can get along with just about anyone and because of that - I can capture great images of you being you.
- I have a passionate dedication to your happiness
I am NOT one of those photographer's that is watching the clock and the second it strikes 'Contractual Time Over' bolts for the door. I believe that the really special events of our lives happen organically and can't be planned or timed. For that reason - sure - I have specific time periods of coverage agreed upon but if the vibe at the end of that time is showing promise - you can bet I'll be there to capture it. My goal, my job, is to capture you and your life. I will do everything in my power to do the best I can for you.
I invite you to read further. My posts aren't always about a specific event I covered or portrait I took but all of my posts exemplify who I am and the passion I have for capturing you!
Cheers! Erik

Pajama Party!

I have a confession. I live a double life. By day I am Erik, a well mannered yet witty IT guru that works for a wonderful company located in Denver, Colorado. By night (and weekend), I am still Erik (aka EFL), but I put on my superhero photog cape and can be seen taking pics at the places and events where you are having the time of your life.

Normally these two lives do not overlap but the holidays are a special time of year. It is a time where I get to visit my compatriots in Colorado while enjoying a short yet well needed escape from the grueling Wisconsin winter. You see – even though I work remotely – the company I work for fly’s me out every December so I can partake in our annual Holiday Pajama Party. A ‘Holiday Pajama Party’? – what’s that you might ask. Well I’ll tell ya! It’s basically your average office holiday party except we get to wear our pajama’s to work, throw in some beverages throughout the day, potluck lunch, a few contests/special events and top it off with a quasi secret Santa gift exchange. I know – pretty badass. :) Oh and I got a chance to play Microsoft Kinect…exhausting!

When I used to live in Colorado, I was of course the office photog for all our events. Now that I work remotely – I don’t get as many opportunities to capture our staff being awesome so when I can – I’m there and with an itchy trigger finger! Take a look below to check out some of the great pictures I captured. Perhaps next time you have an office party – you’ll think to yourself – ‘Gosh it would be great to have some pro pictures taken’ and then you’ll look me up. :)

I’ll leave you with this handy life lesson…..
With great camera power comes great responsibility. This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I’m Spider-man. (Actually I’m still Erik but I do have super skillz). :)

p.s. I should throw in a plug for the awesome company that I work for, Webolutions. Are you in need of a new website? Have you be trying to figure out a way to tie together your real world marketing with your online persona? We do that and do it well! The people I work with are all amazing and caring individuals and every one of us strives to make your dreams a reality. Sounds cliche – I know. But remember – when you do well as a company in this big world – so do we!
