I found Strawberry Boudior through a few friends who had worked with Ericka before

that's what sealed it for me.

I looked at her website and then joined her Facebook group, watching the community in that group, the love, the joy, the confidence that these other women had felt during, and after their shoots with Ericka inspired me to try. I knew I was looking for a luxury boudoir experience in Tacoma and wanted to have that experience with the best boudoir photographer Tacoma had to offer!


Having always been "bigger" I never wanted to be in front of the camera, I was always the one shying away from having my photo taken, never believing that  I was "enough", skinny enough, pretty enough, confident enough, good enough, to do this type of photo shoot.


That changed when I met Ericka. I signed up for one of her model calls, she called me for a pre booking consultation and talked about her love of watching women fall in love with themselves again, that's what sealed it for me.

Her love of her job, her talent, her passion for helping people gain their confidence back or find new confidence in themselves

And while I was excited, I was painfully nervous.


So nervous I almost backed out multiple times, but I am so thankful I didn't! Immediately upon meeting Ericka and her incredible makeup artist Kailey, I felt at ease, there was music, laughter, and a sense of comfort that completely put all my fears aside!


Kailey absolutely killed my hair and makeup (like seriously she's so talented), when it was time for the actual shoot, Ericka put on music, and was quite literally the best hype girl you could ever ask for, I felt beautiful for probably the first time in my life. She really is the best boudoir photographer Tacoma has to offer!


And trust me the confidence Ericka helps bring out in you during your session with her doesn't end when you leave, it stays,  it grows, and anytime I feel down about myself I go back and look at those photos and that feeling comes back all over again.


Through the years I've done multiple shoots with Ericka, she is always just as genuine as that first time.


She is an incredible photographer and an  even better person. If you're on the fence about doing a shoot with her, take the leap, I promise you won't regret it
