Dream Synergy: A Journey Through the Lens

I’m drawn to the human heart’s ache for forgiveness and its dance with light and darkness.

My camera captures my daughters’ faces and my own story: unguarded eyes, tender smiles, paired with landscapes from decades in the wild. Erika Masterson

"The hedges may surround you, but peace comes from the one living inside you".

We’re lovely in our fragility.

Camping between California’s peaks and Florida’s tides has been my refuge, a space to listen to my heart. “Dream Synergy” is that love spilled out—timeless moments of purity and courage. It’s my truth: a woman who found her voice in a shutter’s click, who sees life’s path through brokenness, and who believes we’re lovely in our fragility.

My story lives in the quiet—moments where the soul outshines the noise.

Photography is me: a chase for joy, innocence, and redemption through the lens. “Dream Synergy” reflects a life shaped by 30 years of camping between California and Florida. California’s mountains and redwoods taught me resilience; Florida’s wild shores showed me beauty in chaos. These places are where I’ve found myself.

This is my first series (began in 2012) as a photographic artist, a synergy of soulful portraits and nature’s grace. Each image holds my vulnerability and transformation—from enmeshment to surrender, from denial to truth. This image called "Angel" is my first Image.
