Hi! I'm Erica.


My favorite people call me "babe" and "mom" and my students call me Mrs. Shaw. I'm a full-time third grade teacher and part-time photographer based in the Upstate of South Carolina. I enjoy capturing the special moments in your life that mean the most to you.


Whether you have welcomed a new baby, are celebrating a big milestone, are newly engaged, or just want to celebrate a special occasion, I want to help capture those moments you hold dear to your heart and freeze them in time. Let's tell your story.


I have over 11 years of experience with different types of photography.

Here's what I offer:


Families | Couples & Engagement | Kiddos | Wedding | Lifestyle | Portrait | Product & Branding | Sports and Events | Graduates | Themed Minis | Maternity | Newborn - Lifestyle | Heirloom | Silhouette


My Faves

Season - Summer and Fall

Place - The coast in the summer and mountains in the fall

Enneagram - 9w8

Pastime - Naps, all the naps


Fun Fact

Did you know that the name LENS Photography isn't named after a camera lens? LENS incorporates my initials, keeping the name personal. I sign off my emails with "Love, Erica N. Shaw" as well. LENS Photography still has identity and I love how it fits!


Love, Erica N. Shaw
