Hi, I’m Erika, the creator of Social Impressions. I’ve always loved being creative, designing unique experiences, and finding new ways to make moments feel personal and memorable. What started as a passion for creativity and event styling turned into a business focused on bringing people together through interactive, customized experiences. My goal is to create fun, luxury-inspired moments that guests will remember long after the event is over. I'm always open to collaboration, so if you have an idea you don't see, please reach out and we can work together to create your vision!

My bridal shower theme was Coffee Beans & Diamond Rings- with espresso martinis! When I saw Social Impressions, I thought this concept was so unique and fun! My friends loved being able to scan the QR code and upload their photos onto their drink. My guests were drinking their martinis quickly just so they could get another photo done. It was a perfect day and I'm so glad I found Erika's Social Impressions! She was very communicative and great with my guests. I would definitely hire her again for another type of event.

Five stars really isn’t enough but it was the most we could give! Heidi was so amazing from start to finish. She met with us ahead of the wedding so she could make sure to capture our values and get an image that made our special day even better. On the day of the wedding she was there early, with plenty of time to scope out the venue and find the perfect place to capture the moment. Her presence was so calming amidst all the chaos! Our guests loved watching her work and were so intrigued by the concept of having a live painter (as was I!). They were also so impressed at the fact that the painting really looked like us!

As a bride there were so many things I was worried about leading up to and on the wedding day but Lois truly made me feel at ease every step of the way. She was very responsive pre wedding, completely present the day of our wedding- ready to celebrate us, initiated conversation with our photographer on getting the best shot without delaying our timeline, and went above and beyond to provide not just a service but entertainment and connection as well. Watching her canvas go from blank to the heirloom worthy piece of art (we now have hanging above our bed) is something our friends and family are still talking about! Not only does Lois capture your day in ways that photos can't, she also brings such an incredibly delightful presence along with her talent.

Get INSTANT pricing on my WEBSITE! With over a 1M views on social media, I'm thankful to see such a positive response to my artwork. My whole life I have loved art! My first day of Kindergarten, my parents asked me what I hoped to do at school that day. I responded by saying, "I want to paint, paint a picture for my sister." I studied art in college and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education from Tennessee Tech University in 2006. I worked as an art educator for several years and as a full time independent artist since 2012. I have been featured by a number of podcasts, magazines, TV, as a keynote speaker, and across the globe.

Heather changed the vibe of my entire wedding day. This painting experience was gifted to us by my mother in law - and not only is it now a forever keepsake, but it was a TOTAL guest experience. Checking in on our painting throughout the night was so much fun. Our friends and family loved it so much. Working with Heather before our wedding was so fun - we hopped on the phone a week before because she wanted to completely understand my vision and hopes for our painting - and she delivered MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. She was absolutely without a doubt our favorite vendor. Heather was a joy to work with. Not only did she bring such incredible energy to our day, but she also went above and beyond to film so much iPhone content that I would have otherwise NEVER had of our wedding day. She (discreetly) filmed our vows, our grand entrance, my walk down the aisle, etc. I truly would have hired her just for this alone. I was so so soooo thankful to receive all of these (total surprise) from her the next day. This is something that makes Heather stand out amongst other vendors - this did not by any means fall under her promises to deliver but she did it anyway which I think speaks volumes to the person she is. She was so happy to just be apart of our day and capture it for us. If you are on the fence about a live painting experience - this is your sign, BOOK HER ASAP!!! We are forever Heathers biggest fans.

Candace was one of the best additions to our wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment guests realized there was a live illustrator at the reception, they were absolutely obsessed. It was such a fun surprise, and everyone loved watching their portraits come to life throughout the night. Seeing people’s reactions when they received their illustrations was honestly one of my favorite parts of the day. I even found myself delivering a few portraits just so I could watch their faces light up. Before the wedding, Candace created a portrait of Chris and me that she displayed at her table as an example, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave guests a preview of her incredible talent. Every portrait she created was beautiful, and I still can’t get over how quickly she was able to capture people while making each illustration feel special and unique. Although we didn’t get much time to chat with her during the wedding, it was obvious how attentive and professional she was. She took wonderful care of our guests and made sure as many people as possible received their portraits. She’s also mailing us any portraits that weren’t picked up or weren’t completed before the end of the night, which means our guests will still get to enjoy them and we’ll be able to include them with thank-you cards. A live illustrator is such a unique wedding favor, and Candace absolutely knocked it out of the park. The portraits were stunning, the experience was unforgettable, and it quickly became one of the most talked-about parts of our wedding. Everyone thought it was the coolest thing, and I couldn’t agree more. It was truly one of the highlights of our wedding day. If you’re considering booking Candace, do it. Your guests will love it, you’ll love it, and you’ll be talking about it long after the wedding is over.
