Kathryn - Glamor

So I'm kicking off  the long weekend with an absolutely stunning girl. You may recognize Kathryn from a previous session that we did in Drumheller about a year ago. Kathryn just had a birthday and finished yet another 30 day hot yoga challenge. What better way to celebrate than to get some glamor shots done. This particular afternoon there were 4 of us hanging out in a really close friends condo, the 4 of us play basketball together so you can only imagine how much fun we all had!

"You have made me feel more beautiful that I have thought possible!"

 Kathryn you are beautiful!! I'm just glad that I was able to make you see it through your own eyes.












My friend and business partner Catherine did the hair and make-up for the day and did an outstanding job! If you are interested in booking one of these sessions or have any questions please send me an e-mail I would love to hear from you!

The Hardy Party Wedding!

The long awaited blog is finally here! After breaking my computer then my Husband's 3 days later and then building a new computer I am finally up and running again instead of limping along. Actually I am still slightly limping from my knee surgery but I am thinking about walking some stairs this weekend and starting slowly to go back to yoga next week. :) YAY!!

I know that I have probably said this about all the destination weddings that I have been on, but I am starting to understand that spending a week on a beautiful island with some incredible people you are going to make some unforgettable memories! 

Brenna and Jay planned an extraordinary week and capped it off with a beautiful Wedding! Now I was not the official photographer as Brenna and Jay wanted me to actually enjoy the day, which I was more than happy doing. With that being said I double dare you to try and take the camera out of my hands :) I spent the morning with all the girls getting ready and I absolutely LOVED it! I couldn't have felt more like part of the Wedding!!! All the girls were so inviting and one of them actually did my hair for me (as I am very special in that department). Thank you so much for all the memories! As these are memories that one will never forget!

Here are a couple of my favorites that tell the story of Brenna and Jay's Wedding!











I was able to snap a few of just the girls before we all headed to the ceremony.







When everyone arrived in the hotel room Brenna and Jay had put together a little welcome package. In this package were some ridiculously awesome glasses!

My Papa and Step-mom.

The beautiful site



Brenna and Jay surprised everyone with fire dancers. These guys were awesome!

Probably my favorite photo from the day!



Brenna and Jay's day after session coming soon!

Meet Kat

I have never met someone that I bonded so quickly with. I had only met Kat once before we did the photo shoot and I am excited to say that for my first official Boudoir session it was Awesome!!
Kat has been nice enough to let me post a few of her photos from the Boudoir session.






Thank you so much Kat! I hope that your Husband enjoys his Anniversary gift!

For anyone who is interested in one of these session please send me an e-mail. I will officially be offering Boudoir Sessions around the end of this month so keep your eyes peeled!

Meet Catherine & Dave

 I love love! Especially when a couple is so in love that it is infectious. That is how I felt after hanging out with them one afternoon, actually I see them more often than that and this is how I always feel.

I have know Catherine now for probably around 12 years, we went to High School together and had played on the same basketball team while growing up and even to this day we still play on the same team with all the other girls that we played with growing up. I was lucky enough to spend a week with this couple in Cuba this past November and really got to know Dave, and I came to the conclusion that these two compliment each other so well! I am so happy for them both and can't wait to share their very special day with them! They are going to be absolutely jaw dropping gorgeous!! Just have a look below and you will see what I mean!

Happy Wednesday!

I know that you are all probably wondering "Where oh where is Carla??" Well from what I thought was going to be a relaxing winter has actually been really quite busy! I don't want to give too much information away just yet, but I am literally being pulled in 3 very exciting directions. All of which to be blogged about very soon I promise, and you won't want to miss it!!

I leave for Mexico in 2 weeks exactly for my Step Sister's Wedding. Now over the last few years we have actually gotten to know each other very well and I am so excited for her and her husband to be! I don't really like calling her my step-sister because she feels like a sister! The sister that I never had growing up, and now we all get to take a family vacation. I honestly haven't been on a holiday with my Dad since I was in Grade 4, which was a VERY long time ago, this trip is so long overdue and I can hardly wait. Of course I will be taking a ton of photos while I'm there so I will be posting those once I'm back.

March is going to be full of Madness so you will want to keep checking back as this is my favorite time of year!!!

Because a photographer's post is never complete without a photo...


This photo was taken by the fabulous Vicki of Cala Photography and I honestly laugh every time I see this photo. Our poor dog who really doesn't appreciate what we are trying to do.

Hope this put a smile on your face this Wednesday!
