Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to every second

this time with your kids is so important

Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to every second

I get it. Your baby is growing bit by bit every single day. You try to capture them as much as you possibly can. Documenting every stage, every milestone, every moment. But mom + dad, you need to get in the photos too. There will be a time when the only thing left is pictures. Be in them. Relish in the moment with your baby. I know that you can take hundreds of photos on your iPhone... but how many of those photos are you actually in with your little? That's why I'm here - let's make magic together.

let me capture your magic

Why should I hire you?

I believe a photographer needs to be in love with what they're capturing + what they create. Motherhood, maternity, newborn and families is not only my jam, but my passion. This kind of stuff sets my soul on fire.

Being a mom myself, there is nothing that I cherish more than memories with my children. I want to be able to look back on it all and see myself right there with them. I don't want to just remember a moment, I want to feel the magic.

Let me capture your magic.

Testimonials | Photography
.01

Carly was SO good with my kids. They immediately felt comfortable in the space and in front of the camera. She had such great guidance for the photos and it was present in the final result. The photos are absolutely stunning and truly capture the precious relationship between a mum + her babies. I will cherish these photographs forever.

Carly took both our maternity and newborn photos and I truly have to say I enjoyed the whole experience. She photographed my family so well and I will definitely be working with her again. I am so thankful with the variation of photos she took and received so many lovely photos to treasure.

I thoroughly enjoyed my photography session + overall experience with Carly. She knows how to capture the perfect moment and is patient + passionate about her work. I love her style of photography + collaborated with her to create a stunning visual concept to celebrate my birthday, bringing my exact vision to life. I genuinely appreciate her time + effort in making these pictures look incredible. I especially like the lighting, composition/perspective of my photos. I look forward to working with her again.

Carly is nothing short of magic -- she takes such care photographing our family & is so accomodating when our tiny human doesn't always cooperate when taking photos. She makes the whole process so easy & fun, and the end results always exceeds our expectations.

Frequently asked questions | FAQ

How long should I expect to wait before receiving my photos?

You can expect to receive your full collection within 3 weeks of the day we shoot together.

How many photos will I receive?

Mini studio package: 20+ images
Regular package: 40+ images

What kind of photography are you into?

Motherhood + intimate families + newborn lifestyle + maternity.

I have a big passion for capturing motherhood + the intimate moments of new families emerging. Motherhood is deep passion of mine and I absolutely love capturing it in action. These are the kinds of shoots that I prioritize when booking because they ignite such passion and motivation for me.

I also LOVE working with couples - so don't be afraid to reach out if you want photos of you and your love!

Can I get the unedited pictures too?

No, I do not release any unedited RAW images to clients. This is primarily because I do not want any of my work being altered in any way and it also takes away from the hard work of editing that we as photographers do!

Do you shoot weddings/elopements?

I do not shoot weddings or elopements but I would be more than happy to redirect you to some amazing photographers who do.

When is payment due?

To secure your preferred date/time slot, a non-refundable $50 deposit is due. The remaining payment is due on the day of our session together.

* No editing begins until payment is paid in full. Payment can be made via e-transfer or cash.

SICKNESS Policy

I ask that if anyone in your family is feeling unwell to please let me know and we can reschedule. As a mama to 3 young children, I need to make sure I am keeping my home happy + healthy.

*If you would prefer I wear a mask in our session together, please let me know ahead of time and I would be happy to do so.

How much do you charge?

Mini studio package: $215
Regular package: $300
Extended family package: $345

Do you travel?

At this time I am shooting in Edmonton, Alberta and surrounding areas (surrounding areas may acquire a travel fee included in the session price).

How will I receive my photos?

I will send over your collection digitally. You will receive an email from me to view your gallery. From there, you can choose to download the photos onto your computer/device. You can send friends + family members the link to view your gallery as well.

Do you do couples photos?

YOU BET!

Do you have your own studio?

I do not! I have a few faves around the city though! Studio Haven is one I often shoot at and it's a dreamy loft filled with natural light and exposed brick; it has a warm and comforting feel. I love shooting at other studios as well but the studio fee is the responsibility of the client to pay. The average cost of a studio rental fee is $60-75/hour.

Are gift cards available?

Yes! I have e-gift cards available for purchase. Once purchased - they do not expire and can be used at any time. Contact me for more info!
