Hey! You made it!

Alright, I'll try and make this short and sweet- but no promises.

​

I'm Erika Stewart, (formerly Erika Richardson) and I love dad jokes.

​

I am the owner, creator, lead photographer, creative director, website designer, etc. etc. etc. of It Clicks Photo

​

I married my wonderful husband, Trevor on June 30th, 2018 on our 2 year anniversary. We love music, festivals, camping, dancing, cooking, planting succulents, and our corgi dog- Onyx.

​

I earned my photography degree at Grand Valley State University, but have always been photographing since the age of 3. I always stole my parent's Polaroid Instamatic camera, and used all their film (I'm sure they were "happy" back then about it... WHOOPS!).

​

Graduating from High School, I applied to GVSU for Radiology purely to make my parents happy it was in the health field- still image taking- but in a different way.

​

Before leaving for college, I had a crazy vivid daydream of looking through film negatives, marking which frames I wanted to keep, and eating a plate of cookies (if cookies weren't involved, I'm not sure I'd remember it so wildly-- but then again, here we are!)

​

So,after my first semester of radiology classes, I built up my courage and told my parents I was following my truest dream- PHOTOGRAPHY. You can imagine their excitement- radiology daughter turned to photographer.

​

Regardless, my mom told me to make her proud. So I am on this constant, amazing journey that has brought nothing but PURE JOY to my life (and my parents life, of course).

​

Capturing the happiest of moments in my client's life is literally my bread and butter. I'm a people person- I love stories, I love unique events, I love.. love <3
