Reviews of Pure & Sweet Photography (Photo Studio)

Hayley Owens

Erica did my maternity and newborn photos and I couldnt be happier with them! She gets the most amazing shots with the babies and handles any fussy babies with ease. She is also very flexible, so you dont have to book months in advance. She really went above and beyond to help me get my photo cards in time for a trip. I am so appreciative and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants some beautiful photos and excellent customer service!

Erica is wonderful! She did my twin’s newborn photos and 1st birthday/cake smash photos. She’s very patient and got beautiful posed and candid shots. Her prices are reasonable and I got the images back in less than three weeks. I highly recommend Pure and Sweet Photography.

Erica is so kind and sweet and easy going. Our kids just loved her. When we got our photos very shortly after, they were just stunning. Such amazing work.

Anita Gundich

Erica is a true master of her craft. We have been using her the past 3 years and have done well over 20 shoots with her including Christmas, Family, Mothers Day and Boudoir just to name a few. Erica is sweet, kind, funny and patient. We are constantly amazed by the photos she is able to capture for us and that's why we will continue to use Erica in the future. Erica has captured memories for us that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend this gem of a photographer.

Erica was very professional and reasonably priced. In a very efficient photo shoot she got some absolutely lovely maternity shots for our family. Would definitely use her again for family shoots!

Erica has been doing our family photography for 5 years! Being able to look back at photos to see how much our family has grown has been the best gift ever. We have done family shots, christmas, candid home video, siblings, and more. She knows how to work the camera and create the most amazing energy. She gets the kids to smile always all while having a great time. Thank you for creating all these memories for us

We have had three family photo sessions with Erica now and have been delighted with our albums each time. I often feel awkward in front of the camera, but she has a knack for putting her clients at ease and capturing beautiful images that feel natural. We’ve received so many compliments on her work from friends and family. Thank you, Erica! You’re a true master of your craft. We can’t imagine trusting our family photos to anyone else.

Eric Hung

We’ve Erica for our annual family photos for 4-5 years now and she’s great. She makes the quick 15 minutes sessions fun for the kids which makes for awesome candid type shots. In the end we always get 10-15 photos that we are happy with. I used to dread photo shoots with the kids but these short sessions are quality over quantity!

Krista Guloien

Both photo shoots we had done were super efficient and so beautifully executed (even when the little subjects weren’t cooperating lol). You walk away wondering what will come of the session and both times I was beyond pleasantly surprised with the finished result. I would recommend Pure & Sweet Photography for sure!!

Michelle Thom

Every year when we are in Vancouver we see Erica for a family photo session. The photos are incredible! She is simply magical behind the camera. Thank you Erica!

Braden Hall

So overjoyed by the photos we had done at Pure and Sweet Photography. We’ve never had such great photos taken of us and they made for truly memorable keepsakes of our new daughter and us. We will use her again in the future for all of our photos and highly recommend her for your photo needs!

Malin Roberts

Erica is fantastic. We have done several family sessions with Erica now and she never disappoints. Extremely good with the kids (and adults!) and reasonable priced. We will be back for sure.

Alicia Graeme

Sessions are fun, efficient and different every time. They always produce beautiful photos which are ready very quickly after a shoot. Erica takes care of everything in a professional manner and makes everyone (babies, kids, adults, grandparents) feel comfortable. I highly recommend working with Erica - it’s the perfect way to capture milestones and memories.

Jessica Peddlesden

We absolutely love working with Erica, she has photographed so many special moments in our lives. She makes sure we are comfortable and relaxed, she is such a joy to be around, and her photos are always incredibly. We love all the mini-sessions that she offers throughout the year and her studio in North Vancouver is beautiful. We really enjoy working with her and can’t wait for our next family session. We highly recommend Pure and Sweet Photography!

Heather Bell

We have had many photos done by Pure and Sweet Photography and I have been so unbelievably happy with every single shoot. She makes my kids feel so important and comfortable and the photos alway turn out beautiful! My favourites are her glitter shoots and our group Christmas photos with our extended family! I’ve have yet to see a photo I haven’t loved.

Chel McK

Erica is phenomenal. We had our newborn photos done in 2020, and the results far exceeded my expectations. Erica has a wonderful eye for photography and our package was such a great mix of dreamy colour photos and black and white. She is also incredibly patient and has a good sense of humour. We went back in 2021 for our son's first birthday cake smash and those pictures were just as perfect. I can't recommend Erica enough.

Kristin Leahy

Erica is incredible! she is some sort of baby whisperer, she has done a couple shoots for us including newborn, family, and Christmas, they are all incredible and i love having the photos on display at home.

Tara F

We’ve been coming to Erica of Pure & Sweet for family photos every year since our son was born, she is the best!! She’s incredible with kids and is so patient, no matter what the rest of our day is like we always have a great time in her studio and it shows in the pictures that she gets. So happy that she has become a part of our family traditions, we look forward to every session with her!

Balvir

Erica is amazing to work with. She has a talent for capturing the little details that separate your child from any other posed newborn shoot. She is great with siblings and making them feel comfortable which can be a challenge in itself. I highly recommend this gem of a photographer. You can really tell that she enjoys what she does because the love comes through as talent in her pictures. She really captured my kids and I am so grateful every time I see her photography in our home. She will easily become your first choice for family pictures.

Robyn Haddow

Erica is such a pro! She is lovely to work with based on her interpersonal skills, her technical skills, her comfort around babies and children & her quick delivery of photos. She edits beautifully and captures precious moments in time just the way you hope them to be. We've done gender reveal, newborn, glitter and birthday photoshoots with may more to come :)

Mariah Smith

Erica is amazing! Not only are her pictures fabulous she is a joy to work with. We have used her 4 times in the last 2 years, and have been impressed with all of our photos. She has done an excellent job capturing our growing family. We have her photos all over our home, and have had numerous people ask who took them and book with her! At our last session our toddler started crying the moment we arrived, I was worried about the photos but she managed to turn his mood around in minutes. It was impressive, he was giggling and laughing before I could blink. Thank you - These photos will be a part of our family forever !

Kristy Stefanucci

Erica with Pure and Sweet Photography is amazing! I met her when she shot my maternity photos and I have returned for newborn and 6 month photos with my son. I usually feel so uncomfortable and stiff having my photo taken but Erica has a real gift for offering guidance while also helping you feel totally comfortable. The shoots always leave me feeling like I had a visit with an old friend. She captures beautiful natural photos that do not feel stiff or posed, which I love. She has captured my most treasured photos of my son and my son and I together. I can’t wait to go back for her ‘doughnut grow up’ shoot! Her ‘glitter minis’ are also so adorable. If you book a shoot with her I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Tneesa Tyerman

I cannot even put into words how amazing Erica is. First she did my maternity photos. I was super nervous but she made me feel SUPER comfortable. She even had outfits for me to wear. Then she did our newborn photos and again, I was super nervous because my daughter was super fussy. When we arrived my newborn slept through almost the whole thing because Erica is sooooo good with babies. We will cherish the photos forever. Again she had several outfits and props for us to use. Then we recently did our 1 year photos and she even came right to my grandmothers house so my grandma could be in the photos!!!

Katie Kenny

Erica at Pure & Sweet took newborn, sibling and family shots of for us. We absolutely love how our photos turned out. There are so many photos that I plan to get enlarged and frame them all over my house. These photos are such an important keepsake and Erica has done a fantastic job. When she was taking our family photos she was so patient with my very impatient toddler, and she managed to get beautiful shots of him (even though he wouldn't sit still and was impatient to be done). In the shots of me I look so beautiful, at a time when I didn't feel all that beautiful! I would not hesitate to recommend Pure & Sweet Photography. In fact, I plan on booking with her again in the future!

Michelle Wood

We have used Erica to capture all of our families special moments over the years (newborn photos, pregnancy photos, Christmas photos and milestone mini sessions) we’re always blown away when we receive our gallery and appreciate her patience and warmth while working with small children and newborns. Her studio is in a beautiful heritage building in North Vancouver and she really makes you feel at home when you walk through the door, it’s always a great experience and we look forward to having her capture more special moments in the future.

Rebecca Towning

Erica is a very talented photographer. My daughter was not co-operating and she was able to soothe her and get some great shots in a very short time span while she slept. I love the photos and am excited to get more as my family grows.

Tenaya Nash

Year and year, moment after moment Erica from @pureandsweetphotography has captured the most beautiful photos of our family! My little ones are so comfortable with her since 6 days old. Don’t miss out and capture all the moments with Erica.... give your family the best photos, the best memories❣️

Heidi Crowe

Erica did an excellent job with our photo session! She captured my son’s newborn stage beautifully and was very professional. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Emma Johnson

Erica is a baby whisperer! She has done our maternity, newborn, boudoir, Mother’s Day and our WEDDING!!! Each experience so unique and Erica made us (and our kids) feel so at ease through each one! She takes photos in a timely manner (which is especially important with little kids, which we have 3 of) and she’s gotten our photos back to us quicker than we expected each time! Her photos capture the precious moments and the unexpected candid ones. We will cherish them forever!

Angela Ancheta

Loved my photo shoot, both the maternity and the newborn shoot. Erica was very professional yet personable, kept communication open and made me feel very comfortable during the shoots. She was also really good with my baby. I would refer to any one who wants a good experience with professional photography.

Stacey MacKinnon

Erica did our family and extended photos recently and her photos were amazing! Not only that but her work with the camera and getting people(and kids) comfortable and knowing what will work for a good shot was fantastic. My 4 year old daughter ran away grumpy from getting any photos done and Erica ended up sneaking up on her and making her laugh and getting some amazing shots. Highly , HIGHLY recommend Pure and Sweet Photography!!!

Heather Smelser

We have worked with Erica many times- for our newborn photos, and multiple family sessions. She is incredibly talented and calming and we have always been so happy with the results. Don't look any further if you want beautiful photos!!!

Kate MacBeath

I had been following Pure & Sweet Photography on Instagram for over a year. I love her work, especially when it comes to newborn photos. When I found out we were expecting our second child, I knew exactly who to contact! Our session was short, sweet and effortless. Erica was wonderful when it came to getting my four year old to follow direction and she snapped some cute photos with our newborn and his big brother! I have had so many compliments on our photos. Looking forward to going back once they are a little bit older!

Jaclyn Brown

I was looking for a photographer for our newborn shoot and was referred to Erica from a fellow photographer. Her prices were affordable especially for the amount of work required. We went to her home for our shoot and was greeted with a very calm demeanor and she knew exactly how to calm our babies. Yes we had 2, she was able to capture such amazing photos of our twins and beautiful family/sibling photos. I was amazed once I finally seen the finished product. The photos were edited so beautifully and I loved the fact that she gave the photos both in colour and black and white. I loved the announcment cards and think that that is an amazing touch and such a great gift to give family and keepsake to have. All in all I am very happy with the service and the quality of her work. She takes beautiful photos. Thank you Erica for capturing our sweet little girls and thank you so much for the phenomenal photos, I was only going to print a few but I think I'll have to do them all ????

Mark jergen

Erica was our wedding photographer. We're extremely happy with all our photos. We didn't even realize she took that many photos. She captured every moment far better than expected. She was prompt in answering any questions we had and took the time to see what we wanted. She went above and beyond. Truly! She is highly recommended for all your photography needs!!!
