Relaxed, fun, happy photography.
With a focus on creating bright, beautiful, relaxed portraits, I offer sessions for couples, individuals, and families with session lengths ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Sessions typically take place either at an outdoor location, in the client's home, or a rented, natural light studio.

Sessions can take place at outdoor locations, the client's home, or rented, natural light studio spaces.
Clients are responsible for acquiring any photography permits, permissions, or location fees. The only exception is the NJ Botanical Gardens in Ringwood, NJ where Erika holds a yearly permit.
Erika offers studio sessions via rented, natural light studio spaces. Additional fees will apply based on the chosen location and rental costs.
Erika is available for portrait sessions within 40 miles of Bogota, NJ. If you would like to book a session outside of that area, a travel fee of $1 per mile will apply.
What kind of equipment do you use? – I use professional grade Canon equipment; 5D Mark II & III camera bodies and various Canon lenses and flashes.
Do you set up lights? –
Are you a real business? – Yes, I am incorporated as Erika Koop Photography, LLC and work with an accountant and lawyer to ensure my business is run properly.
Do you edit all the photos? – I personally edit every photo that I deliver to a client. I try to give my clients as many photos as possible while regarding quality and without being repetitive. You will recieve all your files on a flash drive, ready to print, email, share, and enjoy!
Will you help style my shoot? – I am happy to give advice and tips on wardrobe, make-up and props, but I leave the styling largely up to the client. Most importantly, I encourage clients to dress comfortably in something that will make them feel confident!
Should we use props? -
Can you suggest locations for photography? – Yes! I’m happy to make suggestions and I always have a few places in mind that I would like to try. I always encourage couples or families to pick a location that is meaningful to them, whether that be their home, a favorite park, or anywhere else they love.
In 2016, my family and I lost my brother, Zachary, to a rare form of colon cancer. He was 27 years old, an accomplished cyclist and working his dream job as a bicycle mechanic - he was a dedicated, loving family member, teammate and employee who is greatly missed.
In Zach's memory, a portion of my annual sales are donated to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in support of cancer research and care.
