"My husband and I are not picture people. We don't remember to take them, and the task of posing for long shoots feels like an exhausting task. This doesn't happen when we work with Erin. She makes these sessions so painless, easy, and fun! We know that she will get amazing shots in a matter of minutes (before either of us turns into a pumpkin) and the results will be stunning. She's done our engagement, wedding, and now our maternity photos and we couldn't be happier with them. Working with Erin gives us such peace of mind knowing we'll be able to capture these special moments with total confidence and zero stress. ❤"

Welcome to the home of Erin Payton Photography


I'm so excited to "meet" you! =) I'm Erin -  a wedding and portrait photographer for joyful, adventurous, heart-centered, fun-seeking couples and creative entrepreneurs. In my heart of hearts, I'm an outdoor lover and animal lover. I'm most at home in the theater or by water, (Florida girl through and through) am rarely seen without chapstick, feel happiest around my dogs, and am completely obsessed with making people smile for a living. I've sung professionally in a previous life, am a surgical technologist, and I play the piano, but one thing that has stood the test of time is my deep love for photography - any time the camera is in my hand I feel at home, and I cannot wait to tell YOUR story and meet you oh-so-soon!

Erin is extremely professional and efficient. Before the shoot she comes with a plan already mapped out to make the most out of your time. She is patient and kind. Highly recommend and will continue to use her.
