I want to get to know you more too! Shall I introduce myself first?

Want to get to know me more?

Oh Hey!

I wanted to document every little thing, and it became a priority to become a success so that my niece grew up knowing she is capable of doing anything she sets her heart to. I threw caution to the wind, gave my dreams a go and I haven’t looked back since.

That same bebe started her very own first business at 8 years old and intends to take over my business one day, I believe she can! 


I realised how important each and every moment is and I made the decision to treasure and make the most!

My business was born at the same moment my first niece was born . There is huge power in witnessing the beginning of new life.

My favourite titles are: Mama to one smiley boy & Aunt-E to seven very cool little humans, but I am also a dog mama to three, photographer, creator, educator and uplifter based in Perth, Western Australia.

I’m E!

If you’re like me and realise how valuable your moments are and want to make the most of them, I would LOVE to help you do that!

I love people. I love their weird, their wonderful, their messy and their pretty and I live to photograph it all! I am passionate about helping you EXIST IN PHOTOS and documenting your days.

And you are why I keep going!

Little Mckenzie was why I started this business...

As a home obsessed gal, I have turned my passion into art! Peaceful prints created to enhance your home and make it a lovely place to enjoy!

I am a creator

I love to share my tips/tricks and knowledge over at Learn From E and I would LOVE to teach you how to document your world.

I am an educator

I mostly photograph families these days, but I do a sneaky wedding here and there for couples I really vibe with.

I am a photographer

I'm a little bit weird...

You will often find me pulling all nighters (I am writing this at 5:29am) I don't function well before 10am, however, for you, I will try...

I love to cook and drink wine

I love old school video games and adventures with my love

I love to make a pretty home and I almost got on to the TV show The Block!

I take baths until I'm super wrinkly and go for long walks listening to a good poddy or tunes

I balance my love for gourmet dining with an obsession for fast food and I claim to have invented 'the microwaved peanut butter sandwich'

I'm a big believer in the laws of attraction and think being grateful for what you already have in life gets you a long way

I literally get a buzz every day just doing this 'job', which is lucky because I am caffeine intolerant and don't sleep ha! But I live to photograph lives big and little moments... and I can't wait to document yours!

"If you are looking for a photographer who has the ability to capture the raw love you have for your family. Erin is the one for you. For a long time I haven't felt love from feeling the stress of a lot of things and it really reminded me how much love I have in my life. Thank you for helping me find that connection again. For creating beautiful memories to reflect on and to cherish for the rest of our lives. The amount of work and love this girl put in our photos deserves all the recognition. Choosing Erin as your photographer will be one of the best investments you choose in your life"

"I’m not one to leave reviews, it’s just not my style. But Erin did such An amazing job of our photos how could I not!?!? We didn’t make her life easy! With 3 kids under 5 she had her work cut out for her capturing photos with us all looking happy. But she nailed it! Not only did she get us all looking happy, but she made us feel comfortable and at ease on the day that all our photos came out natural and we could be ourselves. She also made this mumma look good too so that’s a win win! Erins communication, ideas and speedy delivery was fantastic! Highly recommend."

Chantelle Southern

"I would like to give a massive shout out to our a.m.a.z.i.n.g photographer Erin, for going above and beyond any expectations a bride and groom could have. If you are looking for someone who takes the time to get you know individually and as a couple, someone who will change their own life so you have the best day, someone who just flicks you a 'how you going message' and most of all is highly professional and organised... I’d like to inform you she is the real deal. If i can give any feedback at all, Erin's prices are not enough for how much behind the scenes work she does to ensure everything is perfect. BOOK THIS LADY!! Help her to keep her dreams and passion alive."

Alethea Jacobsen

"We have had two photo sessions with Erin and with her warm infectious personality she naturally now feels like part of the family! The first time was with our 9 day old newborn and she was so wonderful to have come into our home, so incredibly gentle and soothing with our boy while taking photos, the second time just this week she was jumping around pulling faces making our now 1 year old laugh and smile who wasn’t feeling up for the family photos! We felt so comfortable and have beautiful photos to treasure that have captured our little family, couldn’t recommend more. Thank you so much Erin".

Bec Humphries

"Erin is absolutely amazing! Sometimes it can be very awkward getting your photo taken however she makes you feel so comfortable and has you belly laughing the entire time. Its not only about the photos but the experience as well. I would highly recommend Erin for all photos and I will definitely be booking again for future events. Thank you for the amazing experience and making me laugh the whole way through!”

Sophie Wilkinson

"Not only do I adore her talented work but the women behind the camera is an absolute delight! She can make the most awkward person feel comfortable to relax for their photos!! I adore the memories captured from our wedding!!! And the commitment to fly interstate for our destination wedding! I can not thank you enough!!!"

The women behind the camera is an absolute delight!

Zoe Tucker

"Erin is just positivity and good vibes personified! Behind that smile and easy banter that puts everyone at ease she is a demon on the camera. Her use of light is breathtaking and her compositions second to none. This lady puts her heart and soul into making sure every photo you receive is outstanding and timeless. Worth every cent of the investment and then some. Would book her again in a heartbeat."
