About Erika
I’m Erika Rigger, a professional lifestyle photographer in coastal North Carolina. With over a decade of experience capturing families, maternity, newborns, and small events, I’ve built a thriving photography business around natural light and authentic storytelling. Now I help new and growing photographers master their craft with simple, hands-on guidance. From learning your camera to directing clients with confidence, I’ll teach you the skills (and the secrets) that make photos come alive—and help you build the confidence to grow your own photography business.

Teaching Method & Techniques
I teach photography the same way I shoot—with a natural, authentic, and connection-focused approach. My method blends technical skills (lighting, composition, camera settings) with the art of storytelling, helping students move beyond stiff poses and into capturing genuine emotion. I emphasize working with natural light, creating relaxed environments, and using gentle direction to bring out candid moments.
A Typical Lesson Plan
Each lesson is a mix of hands-on practice and real-world application:
Warm-Up: Review student goals + quick Q&A on their challenges.
Technical Foundations: Camera settings, exposure, and using natural light.
Practical Application: On-location shooting practice—learning to direct clients, manage different lighting conditions, and capture authentic connections.
Critique & Feedback: Review of images shot that day, with tips on editing style, client experience, and storytelling.
Take-Home Assignment: A creative exercise to strengthen skills before the next lesson.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
I don’t just teach photography—I mentor photographers to grow both their craft and their business. As a working professional serving families, maternity, newborns, and small events, I know how to handle real-life challenges: cranky toddlers, unpredictable weather, harsh sunlight, and shy clients. I also coach on marketing, client experience, and building a profitable business. My students don’t just leave with better photos—they leave with a clear path to becoming confident, in-demand photographers.

Beginner to intermediate photographers ready to elevate their portfolio.
Parents, creatives, or hobbyists who want to turn their love of photography into a side business or full-time career.
