Let's tell your story

A photo session is not just about the pretty photos. It’s about the whole experience! It’s a time to forget about the outside world and focus on the most important people in your life and the unique bond you share.

I want you to look back on your images and remember the little things—the way you looked at each other on your wedding day, the way your baby snuggles into you, their gap-toothed grin, the playful or serious expressions. Let’s create memories together that will last a lifetime and then some!

WELCOME!
I'm carla,
a family & wedding photographer based In Kimberley, BC &
the east Kootenays

I was born and raised on Vancouver Island. I’ve recently started a new adventure in the mountains after spending 10 years living and photographing in Vancouver. Just a few things about me! I love being outside, getting covered with sand on the beach and hiking in the mountains. I’m hoping I’ll love the snow as much as I love the rain. I might be addicted to reality tv, and I will do anything to make your kids laugh! Being in a crowd at a rock show is my happy place, the first time I remember holding a camera was at a johnny cash concert when i was around 9! and I’ve been to hundreds of live shows since.

Growing up I never knew what I wanted to “be” but I knew I had to be passionate about what I was doing. I’ve found that passion over the past 10 years in documenting the moments, stages and relationships in my client’s lives. Being invited back again and again to do that for so many people has brought so much to my life.

I will always choose connection over perfection and yes, please bring your dog so I can talk about mine!

I can’t wait to hear your story.

Happy Words

from happy clients

We are so grateful to have found Carla, she has become our family photographer for all of the special moments with our growing family. She is always up for adventures to find new and beautiful locations - from up a mountain for our engagement shoot, to a small island for our wedding, and romping through the forest to shoot our toddler in her preferred habitat. Carla puts everyone at ease and is able to capture photos that are such a perfect representation of our family. We can not wait to add more photos to our ‘Carla wall’

Words cannot express how glad we are for choosing Carla to capture our special day!! Not only did she help us feel comfortable and at ease in our engagement shoot, she integrated herself seamlessly into our wedding day and captured every moment perfectly and beautifully! She is professional, communicative, personable, flexible, punctual, fun, and genuinely one of the sweetest human beings we have ever met! Her photography style is timeless and we will cherish the photos forever. We have and will continue to recommend Carla to all of our friends and family!!! 🙂

I can’t recommend Carla enough for your photography needs. I first met her when looking for a wedding photographer and she has since done both my siblings weddings, and both my kids newborn shots. She is super easy to work with, very approachable, and makes what can be an awkward situation fun and memorable. Her photos still are displayed proudly all over my house.

We've had Carla take our photos for the last 7+ years. She has captured so many special memories - from couples shots, event photos, to family photos, to maternity and newborn photos. It's been amazing working with Carla every year. She is professional and super easy to work with; she creates a super comfortable and relaxed environment to ensure that photos are natural and fun. Somehow she always manages to get amazing shots of my kids who never stop moving or talking. Highly recommend hiring Carla as your photographer!

Carla has been the most amazing photographer for our family. She has photographed our family for over 7 years now. She has done our newborn, our family and our maternity sessions. We have 5 kids and she has always managed to keep them engaged and give us the best pictures. We highly recommend using her for your pictures!

Where do I even start? Carla is the most amazing photographer. She has photographed our wedding, done our newborn photo shoot with our first daughter, and our family photo shoot when we welcomed our twin girls. She has done many of our friends’ weddings and family sessions as well. Not only are her photos beautiful, she really captures the most unique and candid moments. Not to mention that Carla herself is warm, funny and such a wonderful human being. I just can’t recommend her enough!!!!
