Hey, I’m Erin!
I’m a professional photographer based in Victoria BC, deeply passionate about capturing the beauty and essence of each individual through the lens of my camera.
About Erin
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! Originally from Ontario, my family and I are thrilled to call beautiful Victoria, BC home. And let me tell you, I really don’t miss shovelling snow all winter long!
When I'm not glued to my camera lens, I'm hanging with my hubby and kiddos, nose-deep in a juicy novel, jamming to tunes, or tending to my plant babies (I swear they're like kids, just with fewer tantrums).
As a portrait photographer, I’m all about capturing the real you, in a fun and relaxed environment and delivering high quality imagery.
I've been a professional photographer for over a decade now and have captured the smiles of over 1,000 people from around the globe.
I invite you to explore my portfolio, and I hope you enjoy what you see! If you'd like to learn more about my work or discuss a photography session, please don't hesitate to reach out. Let’s make some magic happen!
How it started
This is me in 2013, photographing a wedding in Ontario and loving every minute.
I've been behind the lens for as long as I can remember, snapping photos of my pet hamsters, Beanie Babies, and anyone who would hold still long enough. When I discovered my high school offered a film photography class, I was over the moon! Learning about composition and exposure at school was more fun to me than the latest episode of The OC (and that is saying A LOT because I was OBSESSED with The OC!).
Years later, while working away in the corporate world, a photographer friend let me try his fancy DSLR camera. After seeing my beautiful shots on the back of the camera screen, I was hooked! Photography went from being just a hobby to a full-blown addiction.
Despite working a 9-5 job in marketing and communications, I spent all my free time obsessing over lenses, photo editing, and courses. My love for photography was so strong, I'd snap pics of anything that moved (and a few things that didn't).
As much as I loved capturing the natural beauty of the world around me for the first few years of owning a DSLR, I decided to turn my passion into a business in 2012. And now? I'm a portrait photographer living the dream, capturing beautiful images of people (and sometimes their pets) every day!

Fun facts about erin
Lake life Obsessed
I spent my summers on Georgian Bay as a child and loved the memories of swimming in the lake, lounging on the beach, water skiing, and roasting marshmallows.
These days, you’ll find my family at Cowichan Lake in the summer, doing much of the same. It’s our happy place!
Former Expat
Before moving to Victoria, my husband and I moved from Kitchener, ON to Saudi Arabia, where we lived for 3 1/2 years.
We loved experiencing new cultures, traveling to incredible places, and our two children were born while living there.
I miss the friends we made there, the warm sunny climate, the ease of traveling, and the cheese bread!
avid reader
I’ve always loved reading, but in the past two years I’ve become more obsessed than ever.
This year I’m on track to crush my goal to read 50 books by December 31.
For my fellow book lovers, be sure to add me on Goodreads!
drone enthusiast
I love to explore locations on Vancouver Island with my drone and seeing the beauty of the area from a new perspective. So far, I’ve only crashed my drone once!
