August 15, 2019Can’t say enough good things! Hire this photographer!
Erin photographed my wedding and I could not be happier with the results. On an overwhelming day, she knew what to make a priority and was flexible to all our needs. I also loved that from the beginning I felt like I could talk to her openly and honestly. Lastly, she is affordable (especially for the area) and for her beautiful work!

August 14, 2019Loved working with Simply the Best Photography!
We just hosted our company Christmas party for over 700 people. Erin had two fully equipped photo stations up and running for 4 hours, without a hitch. She offered multiple backdrops, photo frames, and photo size options. Very reasonably priced. Couldn't have asked for more.

What to expect
I would love to help you with your next event! Expect enthusiasm and professionalism for intimate or large scale events. Both traditional photography services, and photo booth stations are available to customize the best photography coverage available. During an event, both formal and candid images will be taken focusing on the guests of honor with colleges, friends, and/or family along with candid shots of your celebration. Professional lighting and studio backdrops are available with my services at no extra cost. I usually take about 100 photographs an hour. These will be ready in 1-2 weeks through my on-line gallery (link hidden) or a personal showing. My event services include a USB drive with all of the digitally, edited files in high resolution from your event which will be mailed to you. Pricing starts at $195 - $295 for each hour of service depending on the size and scope of the event. A full price list is always available for review on my company website. I will provide an estimate for the full amount of time for your event and this can be adjusted based on your time needs. There is also a single $50 location fee for any sessions outside of my home studio. I hold a BFA in Photography with a licensed and insured business. Please visit my website for further proof of the quality of my work and information about my company.
About
Hello! Thanks for your interest in having me photograph your event. My favorite part of being a photographer is relating to people, making posing for photographs a fun, relaxing and enjoyable experience. My goal is to work with you as a client to create artwork that captures all of the details because photographs are the best way to preserve your special day once it is over. Photography services are tailored to your event whether intimate or large. Additional services can be added with a photo booth station. I love photography and have been studying the art form for over twenty years. Besides being a professional photographer, I am also an former art teacher and mother. I graduated with a BA in Fine Art - Photography from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and hold a MA Ed from the Ohio State University. I am currently serving on the board of directors for the DC chapter of PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and stays current with all of the technology advances in digital photography with multiple Washington DC Photographers Association memberships with APA (American Photographic Artists) and CAP (Capital Area Photographers). Simply the Best Photography is a licensed and insured company that offers fine wall art and photo products to customers at an affordable price.
Please reach out to me with any questions regarding my services. I would love to hear from you!
