About Scraps of Lace Photography

I’m Erin-

the photographer behind Scraps Of Lace.

I photograph weddings and people the way I've always looked at the world: searching for the light that tells the real story.

My love for photography led me to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts & a Bachelor in Art History, training that helped me bridge technical craft with artistic sensibility. My studies, combined with two decades of experience, mean that I have a deep understanding of photography's formal elements. But we all know that rules are meant to be broken, and that our very favorite photos are often the ones we weren’t ever expecting. My attunement to the perfectly imperfect, serendipitous moments in your special day means that your authentic love gets to shine through – not only in that wedding portrait you’ve always imagined framing, or family portrait you envision on your holiday card, but also in the small moments before and after.

Capturing those moments requires a degree of vulnerability, honesty, and playfulness that I cultivate with my clients. I am more than your photographer. I am your confidante and I spend time dreaming with you. My style reflects your vision, whether that’s a fairy tale-inspired wedding, an autumnal mountain elopement, a family sunset hike, engagement photos featuring an epic lightsaber battle or a simple backyard ceremony with your loved ones.

Before photography became my full-time work, I spent years in fine dining — an experience that shaped how I think about service. Anticipating what someone needs before they ask. Moving quietly through a room. Caring about the detail that nobody else noticed. I bring all of that to your wedding day.

I'm a Leave No Trace certified photographer, which means we can access locations that require care and intention — and leave them exactly as we found them. I'm a proud ally and genuinely welcoming to all couples, all families, all love stories.

Based in Asheville, NC. Joyfully available to travel.

Book With ME

Photography is how I serve the world. Throughout your lives together, your photos should light up your heart as you think of why you took your vows and built your family. Great photos capture the essence of what is most ephemeral and most beautiful – the spark between two people as they share from their hearts, the way light falls on a beloved’s face, the private glance in the mirror after putting on the dress or tux – and invite us to connect to that essence within ourselves.

Like Edward Steichen’s portrait of Gloria Swanson, which inspired my business name, the best photos should stop you in your tracks and ignite your imagination, your sense of wonder, and feel authentic.

I look forward to meeting, learning about, & working with you!

Warmly, Erin

What I Believe

My Son

Once your baby is placed in your arms, you have a new north star. My son has been mine for 20 years. Every child is such a unique gift- they bring their own humor, insight, personality quirks. They teach us so much about ourselves, humanity, & make us relook at the world around us. I really love playing & imagining with kids as I take family portraits!

Look For Light

Literally & figuratively I look for light. Light dances, it’s graceful & playful, it sculpts & highlights our best features. When things seem dark, it’s important to look for the light. The smallest shaft of light across a hardwood floor, or the stunning colors of sunset falling behind these mountains can bring perspective and hope.

Love > Everything

Inclusion can be a buzzword, but for me it’s a way of life.I celebrate love in all its forms. Every couple, every family, every love story is welcomed here — not as a policy, but as a genuine belief. I honor and see the many ways beauty shines, and my goal is for my clients to see that beauty in themselves and their loved ones.
