Natural Portrait Photography
Hola, my name is Ericka Duncan
a family photographer and a mom of twins. I create natural, outdoor portraits that preserve real moments—laughter, closeness, and the quiet connections that happen in everyday life.
I believe family portraits matter not because life is perfect, but because it changes. These photographs are a way to hold onto this season, just as it is, before it becomes a memory.
Spring Mini Sessions Are Here, And Spots Are Limited
Serving families in Amherst, Northampton, Hadley, Sunderland, South Hadley, Easthampton, Greenfield, and across the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts
Mini sessions are a simple way to create meaningful family portraits, an easy opportunity to pause, be together, and preserve the moments that matter most.
Each mini session takes place on a specific date and at a specific location, with a reserved 15-minute time slot that is intentionally focused and well-guided. You’ll receive five high-resolution digital images delivered in a private online gallery, with the option to purchase additional images afterward.
Here's How It Works
15 minutes. That’s all you need. Short enough to keep little ones happy. Long enough to capture something beautiful.
5 professionally edited images. Delivered in your private online gallery within two weeks. Each image is carefully edited and ready to print or share.
Your gallery, your choice. If you fall in love with more than five images, you can purchase additional photos or unlock the full gallery directly from your gallery.
Investment. $150 session fee
Regular price $250.
This Season’s Sessions Are Limited
Mini sessions are offered only a few times a year, and spots are always claimed quickly. If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, this is the perfect moment. These sessions take place on specific dates with a limited number of time slots. Once the schedule fills, the next opportunity may not be for several months.
Why Families Love Mini Sessions
Let’s be honest, getting the whole family ready for photos can sometimes feel like a military operation.
Mini sessions make it simple.
They’re:
• short enough for young kids
• relaxed and playful
• easy to fit into a busy schedule
• a beautiful way to update family photos each year
