Hi! My name is Erin L. Clark, a fine art portrait photographer for the past 20 plus years. My family moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia from Italy at the end of 2010 and it's the longest we have ever lived anywhere!

We were spoiled living in beautiful Sicily for four years. Prior to that, E-n-E Photography thrived in Washington State since 2001 and before that in Newport, Rhode Island - where I started my official photography career.

I’m a proud member of Professional Photographers of America and Virginia PPA and was a volunteer ambassador in the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce. 

I am a Certified Professional & Master Photographer. Certification is something only about 3% of photographers that call themselves “Pros” achieve.  Today, we have 21  CPP’s in Coastal Virginia (Hampton Roads) and only 3 are in Virginia Beach, where our studio is located.   In 2015, I was honored with a Master Photographer degree from PPA (www.ppa.com) It took over 4 years to earn. Currently, I'm working to attain my Master Artist degree as well.   This explains the initials: C.P.P. & M.Photog., that you see after my name.  For me, this means, that I, as a professional photographer, am committed to continuing my education to bring you portraits that are fresh, original and unique that you and your family will enjoy over a lifetime and longer. 

The best compliment my clients can offer me is by referring me to their friends and family.  When I’ve made a client happy and they come back to me for more photos year after year, I am so flattered and proud – and then also when I get to give back to my community, I am thrilled. 

People often ask me how I came up with the name of my business.

WHAT DOE E-n-E stand for?  Back in 1999, my best friend (who, coincidentally, happens to be my husband) Eric (the other 'E'!), encouraged me to grow my photography business.

So, E- (I’m the first ‘E’ for Erin, of course!!) n-E was born.

We’ve been married for 30 years and his support has helped make E-n-E thrive. We met at his first duty station in Washington State, back in 1991.  Married 5 months later, had both of our kids, Grace, 29 & Austen 27. Both kids have moved on, and I have replaced the need to nurture with 3 mini Aussie mixes, Minnie, Lucy and Mr. Pickles and my one eyed special needs mini cat, Goblin (follow him on ig:#goblinkitty !).  Grace still helps me in the studio as our digital art specialist. She makes you look your very best before we print your images! 

E-n-E has been around the globe, started and restarted my business.  I'm so thankful for the changes & experiences each location has brought to E-n-E Photography.

We are proud to have repeat clients every place we've lived.... Eric, retired after 24 years from the US NAVY in October of 2013 & finally, E-n-E Photography, Inc. moved to a commercial studio location on the corner of London Bridge Rd. & Dam Neck in Virginia Beach. In 2020, after 7 great years, we made the difficult decision to close the commercial studio. Covid and the economy didn't justify keeping a large studio open but do not fear, I still offer studio photography and am available to come to you to set up a studio plus of course, photographing on location at the beach, the park or any location you'd like.       

I love to travel and always keep my camera in hand, so keep me in mind to go to any  destination for family, senior, couple or pet photography needs - Schedule us for a visit anywhere – have camera, will travel worldwide, if my clients need great portraits I will find a way to provide them! 

We are available anytime by appointment in person, online, phone or email - however, weekends are reserved for photography sessions or time spent with my family. Schedule your portrait photography session, 7 days a week.  

For inquiries, questions, and consultations we are available M-F, 9-6pm for phone calls, anytime via email where we'll get back to you asap if not shooting a session or within one business day, whenever possible. 

I look forward to meeting you and capturing memories that you'll treasure forever- see you soon!  ~Erin
