Erica has been photographing my family since my son was 6 months old, he's now 6 years old. Each fall my kids start asking "when are we going to see Ms. Erica" as she's become a part of our holiday tradition. She's figured out how to make the 4 of us smile in the middle of chaos with small kids and somehow she turns them into beautiful memories for my family. Erica has taken constructive criticism and has used it to make each session better than the last. Finally, Erica has been generous and kind with her time, always going above and beyond to make sure we get "the shot". read more

Great experience doing my maternity shoot with Erica! She made my toddler and even myself feel so at ease and comfortable. My baby shower was 2 weeks from the shoot date and she still turned around my photos quickly. The photos came out beautifully, and she captured such special moments... even got my toddler to smile! I'll be working with her again! read more

SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!!! Where do I even begin..... After nearly waiting 3 months for pictures I had enough!!!!! I constantly messaged her and asked her for several updates about pictures I had taken with my husband for a couples shoot. At the beginning she would reply, I'll send them right away blah blah blah. As time kept going on it would either be an ignored message or a reply a week after. Every time it was an excuse of some sort and of course me trying to be an understanding human being and be patient. Hello we all have life and work things can get hectic! After waiting for what seemed forever I decided to inform her that I would take her to small claims court. She replied nearly instantly hmmmm how bizarre right after dodging all my other messages. She sent over the proofs right away and then an estimated 30 min after selecting pictures from my proofs she sends the edited pictures!!!! There is no sense of professionalism in doing her work with care whatsoever! I had worked with her years prior for a newborn shoot of my son and had no issue before until this recent photoshoot! Not sure what the hell is going but when you get the run around after several months it's NOT OK!!!! Please avoid people she took my pictures and had no care in getting back to me with decent work this last time!!!! read more

We have used Erica 3 times in 5 years, for a newborn shoot, 1yr old shoot, and maternity shoot in studio and at the beach (definitely recommend). She has great patience with children/babies and takes beautiful photographs with nice editing. The only flaw we had the last time was the turn around on photos, which took 4 weeks for the final gallery. Overall worth booking Erica. read more

AVOID!! Unprofessional and unreliable! My wife and I did our maternity shoot with Erica in the beginning of December and we were told we would receive our pics by end of month which I knew was kind of unrealistic due to the holidays. Fast forward to end of January where my wife texted and email Erica just to follow up and see how things were coming along and we received no response. Over the course of 2 weeks, texts were sent with no response. I decided to step in and reach out to Erica as a new customer via email which she was unaware of and what do you know, Erica responds in less than 5 minutes. She was so persistent in booking us until I informed her who I was and how she was so unprofessional in ducking us but quick to get new customers. I informed her I would either like our pictures or our refund. She then proceeded with numerous excuses about the software she uses being down and much more. She then texted my wife to apologize and said she would get them done asap. I told her legal action will be taken if this isn't rectified. Fast forward to May and still no pictures or communication. I sent her one last email before I proceed with small claims court. read more

Terrible turn around time to receive pictures, poor communication after the shoot, doesnt respond and does not send pictures despite saying she is sending them. read more

I really wanted to leave a glowing review because our newborn photo session was such a lovely experience. The photographer was incredibly sweet and made our family feel comfortable during the shoot. The photos we saw in the previews were beautiful, and we were genuinely excited However, the experience after the shoot was really disappointing and unprofessional. Communication was inconsistent, and it took weeks of repeated follow ups just to receive the raw images for selection. She reached out to apologize but Even after multiple promises that the final edited photos would be delivered "that night" or "by the end of the day," those promises were not kept. I tried to be understanding and patient, but the lack of follow through and reliable communication made the special memory unnecessarily stressful. After looking at other reviews, it seems I'm not the only one who has had this issue. That's incredibly disappointing and shows this may be a pattern, not a one time situation. It's incredibly frustrating to feel like you're being ignored after paying for a service especially something as meaningful as newborn photos. I shouldn't have had to chase her down just to get what I paid for. It's not okay to treat clients like this. I finally received the pictures after such a long wait. If you don't mind waiting for your pics then book but if you need them within a certain time frame be careful. read more

10/10 experience !! Felt super comfortable. Very professional and she was super sweet. Made sure we liked our pictures and gave us different styles and options to try . Would recommend it to any expecting mom . She's amazing read more

Erica is incredibly talented and is a baby whisperer. Her packages are a great value and she is very professional. She has great options for babies and mamas for photoshoots. I was in awe of her ability to take pics of newborns and the 1st bday shoot was the best. She worked off my inspiration and created something wonderful in the studio. She has an amazing future ahead. read more

I absolutely love Erica she's sooo talented and passionate! you can tell she really loves what she does. She has soooo much patience it's unbelievably, with this job you must have patience, between changing diapers, breastfeeding (or feeding in general) sometimes baby doesn't cooperate and she has that magic touch. I've been going to her for almost 6 years and everytime she amazes me more and more! I have no complaints and I highly recommend her to everyone! She's the best read more

I had been referred to Erica by a co-worker who had not gotten pictures done by her but rather stumbled across her page on social media. Well glad this co worker did because her work is phenomenal. In a world where you can feel so overwhelmed by the amount of options you have to choose from it's hard to single out the good ones- if you've landed on E.Cruz photography search NO MORE! She's sweet and kind-and during the whole shoot she almost felt like that cousin that you don't see often but when you do it's all laughs. She's great at what she does and her work speaks for itself- go ahead and book your session! read more

Erica is a phenomenal photographer and person. She is very personable and makes your vision come alive and more. Highly suggest Erica for your photography needs whether it's your baby's milestones, pregnancy, or family... she captures everything beautifully. Planning to book again and again! Found her on Instagram and she's the best! She had a lot of patience with my then 11 month old. read more

Thank you for the amazing work Erica! read more

Erica is an amazing photographer. She's gentle, warm and super loving and everyone loves her, especially children. Erica executes everything she does. She brings all your ideas and vision to life. She is also very creative. Looking forwarding to doing a spring shoot with her read more

Erica is an amazing photographer and has a great eye for what she does, very pleasant to work with and knows her stuff. I did both the maternity and newborn photoshoot with her. I was very uncomfortable while I was pregnant and she made me feel very good about my growing belly insecurities. During my little one newborn photoshoot I didn't have any ideas of what theme to do and she did various shots that all came out amazing. Besides all the great qualities Erica has, time management is not her best one. That is the reason for my rating. As much as I love her work it took about 3 weeks to finally confirm a date. I let it slide because she said she was busy with holiday photoshoots. We finally agreed on the date and after my maternity photo session she told me if we go to her for a newborn shoot she will deduct $100 from the package price. She also mentioned I will get the pictures within 2 weeks and that newborn pictures are best when they are less than 2 weeks old. My fiancé and I were so pleased with her that we gave her a tip on top of the payment we gave her for her service. Two weeks passes and I gave birth and still didn't get my maternity pictures, I mentioned this during the time I was booking her for the newborn shoot and she said no worries pictures will be ready the next day. I did not get the pictures the next day, the newborn shoot came and went and it was already March and I still hadn't received either or. After many back and forth she did offer extra prints for the inconvenience and I received everything within a 2 month frame. I guess because of the rush many of my pictures were not Photoshopped, such as my linea negra on my belly was still visible after she said she was going to remove it and my daughters peeling newborn skin can be seen in many of the pictures. In the end the job was great but she needs an assistant, one who can book her appointments and keeps track of her emails while she has time to photoshoot and edit her work. She's amazing with babies; she made my daughter fall asleep and had her sleeping for an entire hour while changing her in many cute little outfits that she has in her inventory. If you're not in a rush to get pictures I highly recommend Erica but if you need pictures in a short frame of time I suggest to look elsewhere. Side note: I follow her on IG and saw she remodeled her studio and has new props for all work. read more

Very unprofessional she took photos of my newborn , said she'll edit and print out the pictures and send it to our house it's been over 3 months, we email text , send messages on Instagram and no response this is getting out of hand last message she sent us was that she'll personally drop the pictures off.....that was 3 weeks ago we're still waiting . How she got time to go on vacation but can't answer her customers never booking with her again read more

Erica is a great photographer!! She is very patient with our baby and we had a difficult time calming our baby but Erica did her best to give us amazing photos!! She is very talented and full of ideas. We love every photos of our baby and recieved so many compliments! We truly recommend her as photographer. We have recommended her already to our families and friends!! Thank you Erica for your amazing work!! read more

I, like many others, found Erica on Instagram! I saw her work and fell in love! I wanted to do my newborn shoot with her! So we scheduled it for when baby boy was around 1-2 weeks old. So we get to her cozy studio and everything went well. She asked what we wanted to do and I said a teddy bear theme and as many other set ups as we could in the time frame! So she got to work... and baby boy was NOT cooperating haha! He kept opening his eyes and just being fussy. Erica was patient and let me feed the baby etc. To end the story baby boy sucked! LOL she was able to get a couple shots but not as many as she wanted or could in the time frame... so she amazingly offered us to come back for his 6 months shoot... FREE! We took her time and because she didn't like what she got from the shoot she offered to give us more! That says a lot about her work! So fast forward 6 months later we were able to shoot in the summer time outside in a beautiful park, which included baby shots as well as family shots! They came out beautifully! So happy with her work. She is a young photographer, and works ALONE with no help. I'm a pretty understanding person, her time management isn't the best and you do get a little impatient waiting for the pictures. I can understand her but I also understand why others would find this annoying or a see this as a minus. I guess since I didn't need these pictures for a specific time just for my enjoyment the timing didn't bother me as much. Can't wait to have another baby and go back! Thanks girl! read more

Not sure where to start but cannot begin to rave about not only the quality of work but the overall flexibility when working with Erica. Due to weather complications she was more than flexible when working with us. At her studio, she was more then welcoming and proceeded to take amazing pictures. Studio session was what you would expect but she proceeded to go above and beyond in editing and getting them to us in a quick turnaround for a shower we were having. At our destination shoot, she travelled out of her way (1hr and half) to take some great shots. She had suggestions but also was willing to hear/do our requests as well. End of the day, I was concerned considering she was referred and I was not well versed in her work but I cannot speak more highly of Erica...her professionalism, overall eye for photography and lastly great of a person she was to work with. Not only do I recommend her but I will most certainly contact her for other maternity shoots when my twins arrive, she really is just great! read more

Erica has done both my children's newborn shoots and she honestly has the patience of a Saint. Her work is incredible and it speaks volumes through her photos. She always makes you feel comfortable and makes sure you leave happy with the pictures she's taken. I'm so grateful I have the most beautiful photos of my children as well as family to cherish forever. I highly recommend her. read more

Love Love Love. I found Erica Instagram and followed for sometime her pictures were amazing. When I had my daughter I knew Erica would be the photographer I wanted to shoot our newborn. Erica was professional, sweet, and the love and passion for her talent came through. She was so patient with my daughter. Her studio is perfect and she has so many different props to choose from. Overall we had a great experience and I highly HIGHLY recommend Erica. The pictures were amazing!! read more

her shoots looks great but never responds on time. She cancelled on me the day before my photoshoot for a newborn. contract was already signed. Very unprofessional And disappointed because my there was no where to find a photographer available at a short notice. read more

There aren't enough words to say how happy I am to have found E.Cruz Photography. She is extremely talented, patient, creative, and the list can go on and on. I contacted her right when my baby was born for newborn photos and we set up a day to meet. The day we went in the baby was not cooperative and she was extremely patient and considerate that we set up another day and the pictures came out AMAZING!! I can't wait to work with E.Cruz again and I recommend her to everyone now! read more

Before my granddaughter's first birthday, my daughter emailed Erica about doing a photo shoot for her first birthday and sorry to say but she was so unprofessional!!!!!!! She did respond a few times , even gave my daughter a date. But as the date came my daughter emailed her trying to get the details about when and where the shoot would take place. She never responded. A few days after the date she had given my daughter she rescheduled for that following Saturday. We had already contacted our baker and paid her for the cake to be used at the shoot. Her birthday came and passed and she never got back to her! Moments that mean so much to a mother seem obviously nothing to her! A simple no sorry I can't do it would have been easier. Then we would have gone somewhere else!!!! But my daughter kept emailing her expecting a response. But no word back from Erica till today! Not even an apology. I saw on Instagram a few people asking her to please respond to the the emails they sent to her as comments on one of her posts. So I also decided to do the same. I went back to show my daughter the comments including mine, she had deleted them!!! Again so unprofessional! read more

I'm a big believer in God , So here's my testimony. When I was pregnant almost 7 months I started looking for a photographer for my maternity shoot , With a new baby , New home , New expenses I came to find myself finding out that this wasnt cheap & to me it was almost ridiculous because 2 months later I wanted my baby to have her newborn session .. I mean 1500-3k for a photoshoot ! I cried so much and decided to do my own ... then I found Erica , on the explore page ... Instantly loved her pictures and decided to shoot her an email , ( loosing hope ) and just over the thought that I was going to be ablee to get good quality pictures and most importantly for me was the experience. When Erica emailed me back with the packages she had available I instantly cried like a baby !!!! It was so affordable and I instantly made an appt . Just when I thouGht I was in my glory , I was also blesses with thE mmost professional, Nice , Humble human being ever ! This woman not only made my dreams of having my pictures taken but she made me feel so good !!! As if I knew her forever! Long story short shes seen my daughter grow up and she's finally 2 , and wwe always go back ! I recommend Ecruz Photography 100000% Oh I forgot to mention you got more then 7-9 edited pics lol iSntt that AMAZING !!!! Wow ! Dope AF ! read more

Erica is amazing at what she does she is so good with the kids & makes the best out of every situation! Even when your child is crying and antsy and you think you didn't get any good shots ! She captures the most amazing photos ever ! I highly recommend her ! read more

I contacted ecruzphtography in early September to schedule a fall family photo shoot and she responded to me a week later. We exchanged a few emails back and forth and although Erica did respond to my emails (at first) it did take quite a while to hear back from her each time. I understood the delay considering the fact that she is a busy photographer, needless to say after exchanging back and forth we agreed on a date and time for a family shoot. Unfortunately for me, a week before my scheduled shoot I emailed Erica to inform her I had to reschedule. Before scheduling my shoot I made Erica aware that my boyfriend has an unpredictable work schedule. He works out of town very often but Erica assured me this would not be an issue. When we found out he was scheduled to work out of the state on the date we set for our photos I emailed Erica to inform her but I did not hear back. The day before my shoot I was concerned I hadn't heard from her and was worried she would show up to a shoot with no one to photograph, I emailed her once again and also texted her. I heard from Erica the same morning of my shoot stating she received my email and that it is okay to cancel and reschedule and to let her know what day would be okay to reschedule. I responded immediately and told her that Saturday the following week would be perfect, my boyfriend would be in town and we would available if she was. After I informed Erica I would be available the next week I never heard from her again. I attempted to contact her several times via email to confirm my rescheduled date. This was two months ago and I have yet to hear back. I am disappointed I did not have an opportunity to work with Erica as her photos on Instagram are quite beautiful however, the professionalism I received from this photographer was less than par. If she was not available or no longer wanted to work with me all she had to do was say so and it would have given me the opportunity to book someone else in time to have the fall shoot was wanted. In waiting for a response from Erica it delayed my shoot and although I was able to find an excellent photographer in my area with prices just as reasonable as Ecruzphotgraphy, my shoot took place in December and not Autumn as was my original plan. read more

I was familiar with Erica's work while living up in NY, so when I heard she was coming down to south Florida, i couldn't resist but you book a shoot for my 12 year old daughter. I was a little nervous because I know newborns and maternity is her thing but her professionalism and kindness blew me out of the water. She put so much attention to detail and made my daughter, my husband and I feel so comfortable. My husband went up to NY the next week for work and our photos were already complete! She sent us a link of all edited photos and some prints! I am so happy with everything she did for us! I will definitely be booking again!! read more

E.Cruz requested for a Model Dee for a photoshoot for Miami Low Rider Show on May 5th. He claimed that she would be the featured model and that was not the case. Even though she was requested for the photoshoot the model had to pay for her own hair and make up artist to be there the whole day. Photoshoot was 9 hours and E.Cruz advises that he would provide with digital copies of all the photos. At the end and a few weeks later not only did we have to fight with him to edit pictures of the model-which he never does. He is the worst in editing. E-Cruz is now asking for payment for the photos that he promised and he is holding the photos hostage. Ladies if you are looking for a good photographer for your photoshoot please stay away from E. Cruz. He's the worst photographer. E.Cruz doesn't listen to what the client or models want. He doesn't know how to pose the models and all poses are the same across the photoshoot. He's not a license certified photographer. He's never been trained and even though that shouldn't matter it comes out in his attitude and photography. Be aware and do your homework on who you hire. We learned the hard way and 9 hours of pictures despite the many request to pay for the photos he's not given the photos. He's ignored all request. He's gone into all social media's to block us from contacting him. That should say a lot about a professional that blocks you on social media and ignores phone calls, texts, and email requesting a form of payment to receive the pictures he took of me. And lastly he's extremely rude and doesn't like anyone to give him advise or allows the models or clients to be creative. Look at his pricing and he's expensive for the bad quality he provides. read more

I did my Newborn photoshoot with E. Cruz Photography 2 weeks after my daughter was born. Extremely gentle, warm atmosphere with tons of props to choose from. My daughter wasnt cooperating during the photoshoot, but that didnt force the Erica to speed up the session or end it. Rather, she gave us ample time to feed her, calm her down and try again. Erica was extremely patient as well. Everyone knows its not easy working with newborns but when skilled at what you're doing and doing what you enjoy, it comes easy. And thats how I feel about E Cruz Photography. Cannot wait until my daughter is 1 (well i can wait lol) to take her 1st Birthday Pictures with her. Amazing work! read more

Erica is an amazing photographer and has a great eye for what she does, very pleasant to work with and knows her stuff. I did both Newborn and 6 months photo shoot for my daughter with her. During my little one newborn and 6 months photo shoot. I didn't have any ideas of what theme to do and she did various shots that all came out amazing. Besides all the great qualities Erica has, time management is not her best one. That is the reason for my rating. I wish she could improved in this by this year and have an assistance. Otherwise, she's amazing with babies; she made my daughter fall asleep and had her sleeping for an entire hour while changing her in many cute little outfits that she has in her inventory. If you're not in a rush to get pictures I highly recommend Erica. read more

Be aware of whom you hire as a photographer. E.Cruz Photography claims one thing and the final project of photoshoot he does will cost you double of what he promises you. Be careful if he calls you and request for you to shoot for a major event. He will make you pay your own way... Hair and make up, and outfits are your out of pocket expense. Once photoshoot is complete a few weeks later he will post up with your consent and they are unedited. When a person hires a photographer is because you want the pic to look professional and amazing. That's far from what you get with E. Cruz he's not good at editing. The fact is you can take your own pics on your smart phone and just get the photoshop app which is free and do you own photos and editing. They will be better then the poor quality you get from E. Cruz. read more

I fell in love with her work back when I was pregnant last year I couldn't wait to have her shoot my maternity photos! The photos came in edited just when I needed them for my baby shower. Ever since then I've had her do all of my photo shoots including my sons new born pictures at 2 weeks old, 7 month session and now his 1 year/ cake smash photoshoot! She is always so flexible with her schedule. Her studio is great she always has tons of props and in the cold months always has the room heated and warm for our babies! She truly cares for all her clients and you can tell she loves is is great at what she does. Everyone loves how all my shoots come out and always ask to recommend them! I highly recommend her to everyone you won't be disappointed! Xoxo read more
