Erin Wallis Family

I was born and raised on Vancouver Island and don’t intend on willingly leaving here anytime soon.  100% island person, identifying as she/her.  Although I have a diploma in photojournalism I like to believe that my "eye" comes from my mom pointing out beautiful moments my entire life.
I believe that the most striking quality one can have is a beautiful heart.  I admire and aspire to having a deep commitment to becoming a better human constantly by being an anti-racisit and a lifelong learner.
I am a firm believer that love is art, that anything is possible and that you have the ability to design and create your own life, and while you are doing that... you should aim to help as many people out along your journey. 
I have a peaceful heart.
I like things with stories, be it an heirloom ring passed down from generations or a special stone found on a beach from your favorite far away land.
I love the sea, think mermaids are probably real and will stop the car for beautiful light.
As a child, my favourite toy was a wooden Buddha doll. I brushed his teeth and he was my best friend.
I have traveled all over the world as a photographer, seen the Great Pyramids of Egypt, stood inside the Sistine Chapel, ate lunch outside the Eiffel tower, wandered through Monet’s garden and bought wool and wine in Chile. I’ve had coffee in Turkey, sat in massage chairs in Japan, and I once skipped out on visiting the Great Wall of China to buy the Soprano’s box set in a crazy downtown Beijing market.
I like to think that the world is good, that my children are my soul mates and my images might connect with you.
I love fresh air, big skies and a room with a view.
I choose to see beauty everywhere.
Lets stop time together. xo

Still want to know more?  Getting a bit more personal on my personal instagram account (below) Warning!!!! HIGHLY curated images on my personal account.  I do have unfolded laundry piles, long lists of things to do that are not done.  Barely shave my legs, often neglect yard work.  But, I still think life is beautiful.
