More Than Just Headshots—Personal Branding Photography for Female Entrepreneurs in Wilmington, NC.
Personal brand photography is so much more than a simple headshot—it’s a powerful tool that helps female entrepreneurs showcase their personality, expertise, and brand story with confidence and authenticity. At Lady Boss Portraits, I go beyond traditional portraits to create intentional, high-quality images that capture the essence of who you are and what you do. As a one-woman business, I bring a personal touch to every session, helping you feel comfortable, empowered, and truly seen. My goal is to provide you with a collection of polished, on-brand images that elevate your marketing, attract your dream clients, and position you as the go-to expert in your field.

Hi, I’m Erika, the founder and photographer behind Lady Boss Portraits.
As a mother of two energetic boys, I know firsthand the juggling act of running a business while balancing family life. With a degree in Art Direction for Advertising and over a decade of experience as a photographer, I built my first photography business from the ground up in 2015—starting in a new town where I knew no one. Through hard work, creativity, and a passion for storytelling, I turned that business into a thriving brand that supports my family. Along the way, I discovered a deeper purpose: helping other women step into their power, elevate their brands, and feel confident in their success.
My passion lies at the intersection of photography, entrepreneurship, and personal empowerment. I love capturing women at their best, giving them the confidence to show up boldly in their businesses. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me traveling, soaking in nature—whether it’s hiking, camping, or lounging on the beach—or simply being silly with my kids. I start my mornings with meditation, shake off stress with a dance break, and always look for ways to uplift and inspire the women around me. Lady Boss Portraits isn’t just about beautiful photos; it’s about creating a brand presence that reflects the strength, ambition, and brilliance of female entrepreneurs.
