Hi, I'm Erin Patton
As a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a National Geographic photographer. I was mesmerized by the striking images captured by those professionals and enchanted by the idea of spending days immersed in wild adventures, encountering extraordinary creatures and breathtaking landscapes.
That dream shifted during college when I discovered a passion for graphic design. I earned my BA in Graphic Design in 2014 and found that my love for organization, visual communication, and efficiency made brand identity a natural fit. In 2017, after becoming a mom, I bought a camera and began photographing my son—who quickly became my favorite subject. Though I wasn't formally trained in photography, I was fortunate to have a mentor during my design career who helped guide my growth behind the lens. Over time, I fell in love with both design and photography, and today, I successfully blend both disciplines in my freelance work.
I'm a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mom, and a creative leader who strives to bring glory to God and help people take one step closer to Him. I've been married to my husband, Philip, for 15 years and together we're raising our three incredible children—Joah, Cal, and Alden. They are my greatest joy and constant reminder of God's faithfulness.
When I'm not creating, you'll usually find me enjoying the simple things: camping with my family, exploring our National Parks, working in my flower garden, soaking in a summer sunset, or sharing a long conversation with a good friend.
 
 
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded.
