Welcome!

American Huney was born out of motherhood and a dream to create a happy life for my family…a life filled with love, special little moments, kindness, and joy.

7 years later, this has become a fun place to share some of those special little moments my family and I share, with hopes that I can encourage you to create a life filled with love.

The photography gig that has been a byproduct of this blog, continues to be a creative outlet that I enjoy! Ask me today about taking your family’s photos!

More about me, Erica Manfre…

A mama of 2, wife, full-time mushroom slinger, born and raised in Watsonville. My whole family is here and if I’m not busy with them or our friends, I’m taking pictures, or cooking or playing at the beach!

My goal as a photographer is to create a family experience that you all enjoy and look back on fondly, capturing pure fun and freezing a good memory in time.
