My story

My name is Erin and I am a lifestyle-portrait photographer originally from the beautiful Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada. "Malakai" is my son's middle name and he is my inspiration, my favorite work of art. In 2016, we moved across the world to the majestic sand dunes of the United Arab Emirates to pursue my husband's career. After an adventurous six years in the middle east, we moved back home to Canada and settled into the cute, small-town of Sylvan Lake, Alberta.

When I am not chasing light with my camera or spending time with my family, my other hat I wear part-time is that of a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist. I love to travel, secretly wish I was a mermaid, dream of having my own library to curl up in with a captivating book, and strive to be an active volunteer in our local animal rescue organizations.

I adore natural light and the unbeaten path. My passion is finding those moments in-between, your unique story. Un-scripted and innate. I have had the privilege of working with clients both locally and abroad. If you have ideas for a lifestyle or portrait session, stylized shoot, a specific location or story you would like to showcase, I would love to hear from you.

“I had a desert maternity shoot with Erin on my third trimester. The photos turned out incredibly beautiful and tasteful. Since contacting Erin to ask her about services, she was extremely friendly and helpful. She has a wide range of outfits that you can borrow, and makes you feel really comfortable even if you are not used or don't like having your photos taken. If you're looking for a great photographer in Abu Dhabi, don't hesitate to contact Erin!”
