The Photographer
Hello and welcome, I’m Erin, studio owner and photographer.
Hi. I am Erin Paula van Beveren, my pronouns are she/her.
I graduated in professional photography at the New York Institute of Photography, and I am certified in passport photography at the Stichting Nederlandse Fotovakhandel. (Dutch Foundation of Photography Professionals)
After many years of doing general photography as a hobby, I started to focus more on photographing people and at one time, after photographing my daughter’s portfolio, I decided to start my business. May 2008 was the time I got my business license and Henrico Photo was born.
Having a 2000 square feet home, and my children later grown up and moved on their own, there is ample space to create a home studio, thereby eliminating the cost of renting studio space.
Do not let the term "home studio" fool you, I do have a professional studio setup, complimented on by many first time clients.
As a matter of fact, in Europe it is very common to have business located in a home, where the business is performed downstairs and the living quarters are upstairs.
Erin Paula van Beveren, studio owner/photographer.
I am born in 1963 in the city of Dordrecht, the Netherlands. In 1988 I immigrated to the United States of America and settled in the state of Virginia.
My spoken languages are English, Dutch and German. Over the years I lived in Germany and in the USA, I lived in the following localities: Fairfax County, Newport News and Hampton, to finally settle down in beautiful Henrico County, near the capitol of Virginia, the great city of Richmond.
My studio is located approximately 10 minutes from the Richmond International airport.
