Hello!!

My name is Erika Brantley and I am originally from Huntsville Alabama. As long as I can remember I've had a camera in my hands taking photos of anything and everything. When I moved to Nashville Tennessee I took my passion and turned it into something more. I live in Mandeville, Louisiana. I am a very big anti-human trafficking advocate and want to use my skills and photos to help raise awareness and funds for other charities in the fight to end Human Trafficking. I am currently attending Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana for my Criminal Justice degree. In 5 years I hope to have my degree and be serving Trafficking Victims with a task force or other resources to help to prosecute their offenders. I don't really have a favourite thing I love to photograph. The reason for this is .....I love taking pictures to tell a story. That could be anything from birds all the way to someone's big moments in life. I love capturing it all. BUT if I had to nail down one thing....it would be families. I really do enjoy all the people I get to meet, to make them laugh and create a memory that stands for them for a lifetime. Photography is not only a passion for me, it helped me have an outlet for one of the darkest moments in my life, and just being able to bring that to others to feel good about the photos they receive is why I do what I do.
