You are not here to be tamed.
You are here to reclaim your voice, your presence,
your sacred self.

Welcome

At Moonlight Studio, we use only natural light—sunlight, moonlight, soul light.
Every session is an invitation to remember your body as art and your presence as power.

Come as you are.
We’ll reflect back the beauty, power, and presence that’s been there all along.

Hello, I’m Erika. I’m the woman behind the lens at Moonlight Studio. Photographer. Storyteller. Mother. Dreamer. Healer through light.

I was born in Peru and have called Long Island home for over twenty years. My love for photography began in 2006 when I had my first daughter. Capturing her childhood opened something in me. What started as a passion for family portraits evolved into something deeper. Something soul-led.

In recent years, I was pulled toward boudoir photography. But for me, this isn’t just about images. It’s about remembrance. It’s about coming back to the body. It’s about honoring the parts of ourselves we were taught to hide.

The summer of 2021 changed everything. I had an out-of-body experience that shifted my awareness. A moment where I felt myself leave the physical and connect to something greater. I understood then—we are made of light. We are not just flesh and story. We are soul.

That realization became the seed of Moonlight Studio. A place where women could feel safe. Held. Seen. A place where you don’t have to perform beauty. You get to feel it.

I believe every body holds power. Every story deserves reverence. Every woman carries something sacred inside her. My work is about capturing that. About helping you see what’s already there.

You don’t need to change. You just need space to remember who you are.

Love Notes

This experience is a return. To your body. To your power. To the truth of who you are. At Moonlight Studio, every woman is invited to feel seen, celebrated, and held. You don’t need to change. You don’t need to perform. You’re already enough. And you are so deeply welcome here.

“Erika was professional and very sweet, she made me feel comfortable and guided me through the entire session. The pictures came out beautifully, I can’t wait to give the book to my husband as a present.”

“As a non-binary individual, I have struggled to find photographers who understand and embrace my complex gender expression. Erika not only understood, but also celebrated and honored my identity.”
