Behind The Camera
Hello, I'm Erin!
I'm the photographer behind AprilRains Photography, a fine art photography business specializing in wildlife, nature, and landscape photography throughout Ontario and beyond.
When I'm not behind the camera, I'm usually planning my next outdoor adventure, exploring new trails, or continuing to develop my photography skills. Photography has become my creative outlet and a way to share the beauty of the natural world with others. Through my work, I aim to capture the quiet moments, breathtaking landscapes, and incredible wildlife encounters that often go unnoticed in our busy lives.
While photography is a lifelong learning journey, I am proud to share a collection of images that reflect my passion for nature and the outdoors. Many of these photographs are available as limited-run fine art prints, offered both framed and unframed, allowing collectors and nature enthusiasts to bring a piece of the natural world into their homes and workplaces.
Behind the Name
The name AprilRains Photography has a story of its own.
"April" was an easy choice—I was born in April. "Rains" came from a long-held belief that it had been raining on the day I was born. My mum later informed me that it was actually snowing, but by then the name had already stuck. Besides, AprilRains Photography has a much nicer ring to it than AprilSnows Photography!
More About Erin
I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, where my love for nature began during family camping trips and adventures through Ontario's beautiful provincial parks. Growing up, I was surrounded by creativity. My mother is a talented painter (check out her website here: Cathy Dunt Fine Art), and while I admired her artistic abilities, I struggled to find a creative medium that felt like my own. I explored everything from writing to dance, but nothing truly clicked.
That changed when I picked up a camera.
Photography gave me a way to connect my love of nature with my desire to create. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a passion, and in 2018 I started pursuing photography more seriously. Since then, I've dedicated countless hours to learning, practicing, and exploring the outdoors in search of unique landscapes and memorable wildlife encounters.
Today, I am based in Eastern Ontario and continue to explore Canada's diverse natural beauty, from local conservation areas and forests to rugged coastlines and remote wilderness. Every photograph is an opportunity to tell a story, preserve a moment, and inspire others to appreciate and protect the natural world around us.
Thank you for visiting AprilRains Photography. I hope my images inspire you to slow down, explore, and discover the beauty that exists all around us.
