Meet Erin.
I live in the beautiful Wangi Wangi, Lake Macquarie NSW. The place so nice they named it twice! I am a wife and Mumma. I’m a country girl at heart who lives by the moon. When I’m not behind the camera you can find me in the veggie garden with the chooks, near the water with our water obsessed golden retriever, indulging in pasta (give me all the carbs) or pulling tarot cards. I am camera obsessed and to be honest a lil bit of a weirdo. I’ll talk about anything. No topic is off limits. The weirder the better!
I am extremely laid back. Being a hairdresser for over 10 years before I picked up a camera professionally means I have always been addicted to the creative high! Connecting with people and story telling through photos - thats what fuels my fire.
So what does a session with me look like?
Well I want to be more than just your photographer. Let’s be pals.
My sessions are incredibly intuitive and relaxed. I want you to feel super comfortable, super present and embrace the magic, messy moments as they happen.
Let down your walls, be vulnerable and love hard on your nearest and dearest. I will tag along on your adventure, give some prompts or play music and games. We are going to have fun! Whatever this season looks like for you.. I want to capture it all.
I love to capture photos that are authentic and natural. Photos full of raw emotion, connection and beauty. Unposed, unscripted, a lil messy and images that you can feel!
I also love imperfect shots. Intentionally missing focus, making shapes with shadows, shooting through objects, slow shutter speeds for blurry, soft, artistic vibes. I’m a sucker for a good black + white image. Giving my perspective from all different angles which is why I include every photo in your gallery to help tell the whole story. Your story.
Every session also gets an instant photo for you to take home. Does this sound like your cup of tea?
Come on. Let’s get weird together!

This is my Dad.
He Loved Slim Dusty. After he passed away we found a Slim Dusty rose bush. When I had the vision to start my business the bush bloomed and I knew it was a sign to go for it.
Dusty Rose Photography was born.
