Vancouver Island families
The good old days, while you are still in them.
Family sessions always look dreamy in the photos. In the moment? It can feel like a bit of a hot mess. The kids won’t wear the outfits you bought, and someone has decided they are not smiling today. Rest assured, you’re in good hands. I have some serious photo ninja skills for getting even the crankiest family member to loosen up, and maybe even have a good time.

Family stories
The ones who keep coming back.
Wedding, newborn and family · since 2013
Markie and family
“She calms nerves, puts babies to sleep, wrangles wild kids, cracks jokes, directs an unruly group like a pro, always finds the light, and makes even the messiest of moments look really beautiful.”
Wedding, newborn and family · since 2013
Katy and family
“Some of my dearest photos came from moments with uncooperative, grumpy kids and unfavourable weather. Somehow she always manages to calm the seas and pull out the best in everyone.”
“My energetic boys were no match for her craft! … Erin has been our go to for every milestone.”
Andrea · family since 2006
“While obviously talented, Erin is kind, persistent and a pleasure to invite into the special times in your life.”
Vanessa · family
“We had Erin come out again to take family photos and again we were absolutely overjoyed with the results. Photos that we will treasure forever. This is a 5 star review for a 5 star professional.”
Cindy · family
“She said she usually cried at least once each day, not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short.”
