Erica Turner bio picture

 

I am a photographer, wife to a great guy, and mom to 2 awesome kids (whom I will feature on the blog from time to time, of course!). My roots are in graphic design, so I love nothing better than to tell your story through photographs. I really love what I do, you will probably catch me smiling a big cheesy smile behind my camera... I once heard a bride say "she giggles when she's getting the good stuff!". So be prepared to relax and have a great time, let me worry about the photographs, and rest assured you will have some amazing images to treasure. I work in a mostly candid manner, with some posing here and there.  Give me a call (417-839-3501) or send me an email (erica@turnercreative.net) anytime - I'd love to talk with you!! You can also find me on facebook or twitter.

Read what couples are saying about their wedding photography experience on The Wedding Channel’s website.

“Aside from getting married itself, photography was my number one concern when my then-fiance proposed. Yes–even more than the dress! I found Erica’s portfolio through a Google search, and she ended up taking my engagement, bridal, and wedding photos–as well as headshots afterward. I don’t think I could/ever/ go to anyone else for photos.
She’s talented, professional, extremely friendly and fun (and very reasonably-priced, too!). I am not good at posing myself, but she gave excellent direction. You could always tell what was working, because she’d have a huge grin on her face. : ) I honestly can’t say enough good things about her and her work; she really loves what she does.

“Erica is an amazing photographer. She took our wedding photos and did a fantastic job. In a few weeks she will be taking my son’s first birthday photos and I am sure they will be amazing as well. She is the only photographer that I recommend.”
~Tyla

“I would recommend Erica to anyone!!!!! She is the only person who will do my families photos. She is patience, kind, loving, and just a sweet person to be around and that makes it so comfortable while doing photos!!”
~Robyn

“Thank you so much for everything. We loved working with you- so much so, in fact, that when we got home from Galena Bryan said, “Oh, we should have gotten our picture taken with Erica. We spent our whole day with her and she was so nice…” :) Several people commented on how unobtrusive you were, and how great you were to have around. We really appreciate what a great job you did-you are fantastic!”

“Omg!!! I am freaking out!!! Everything looks awesome!! Can’t wait for valentine’s day!! Thanks for a great job. U rock!!!!”

“After sifting through all the beautiful pictures that truly captured every perfect moment, I wanted to say thank you (although thank you falls sort of flat, I wish there was a better way to express all the gratitude I have for everything you have done). Some of the pictures you took, you don’t realize how priceless they are. Of course all of them with Jerry and I are perfect, I still don’t know how you make us look so good :) . But some of the candid shots you took will be cherished for a very long time.”
~Deidra and Jerry

“Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the beautiful wedding pictures. I just can’t tell you how lucky I feel to have found you. We loved the pictures and feel like you truly captured the day. We have received compliment after compliment about the photos and are always sure to mention your name and tell them how great you are. There was also perfect combination of posed and candids. I made an album online with the pictures that kind of walked through the whole day and it makes me want to do it again because it was so much fun! And as a side note, our ceremony was so small that a photographer could have been a nuisance but you fit in perfectly and it was a pleasure having you as one of the 13 people at our ceremony. Martin and I will be sure to keep in touch as our family grows and we can’t wait to work with you again!”

“Words can’t begin to describe how blown away I was with the pictures you captured. A lot of the pictures you took I never saw that day. You did such an amazing job!… Thank You for Everything, You made my wedding perfect!”
~Stephanie

“Wow Erica, these photos are breathtaking!!! They are so fantastic, I had a smile on my face the whole time I was looking through them! (Which was a loooong time!!) Thank you so so so much for capturing not only the look but the spirit of our wedding day, I don’t think I can express how priceless these photos are to me!!!! You did an amazing job and were such a joy to work with! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
