I’m Erica, a curious observer of the world.

The way ice takes shape against frigid water in Eastern Greenland. The weathered hands of artisans in Oaxaca. The tiles beneath the balconies in Madrid. A place's heartbeat lives in the small details most people walk past, and finding them is the whole job.

I'm Erica Connolly, a travel photographer based in Dallas and rarely in Dallas. I shoot editorial, documentary, and commercial work for magazines, brands, and boutique travel companies, and I've been consumed by wanderlust for as long as I can remember.

Before this, I lived abroad and worked as a flight attendant. That life built the way I run this one: rooted in hospitality, quick to adapt, easy to travel with, and genuinely curious about everyone and every place I photograph.

Off assignment, you'll find me volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters and Camp El Tesoro de la Vida, a grief camp for children who have lost a loved one. I love hot tea, solo travel, birding, and collecting stamps in my National Parks passport.
