WELCOME
Well Hello there! My name is Karla, and for me, being a Photographer is more than just taking an image - Its about capturing a moment in time and allowing those that are creating it, to view it from my perspective. I love life, I adore people and I am humbled by the unspoken, universal language of love and affection. My job is to capture the magic and joy of your love and relationships, in the most authentic way -- unobtrusively, honestly, joyfully. Geared towards my distinctive clientele, my approach delivers the perfect combination of timeless elegance coupled with a contemporary, fresh style. I focus on a journalistic style photography. Combining posed photographs, with the candid moments that highlight the laughter, tears, and passion a family feels naturally. Understanding that each child and family is unique in their style, personality, and biography, I aim to produce images that reflect that individuality. I represent joy, distinction, and style — the very best that are possible in child and family photography. So let me make moments with you and create beautiful memories to treasure for a lifetime. xx
Session Information
I specialise in natural light photography. This means that I make use of available light for all of my child and family sessions. The absolute best part about this is that I am completely portable. In other words, I come to you! So whether you have a beautiful location in mind, or you want to stick to the familiar surroundings of home - together we will tailor a session that suits your unique family. I have a go-with-the-flow mentality when it comes to my sessions, because I understand that there is nothing predictable about children. Snack stops, toilet stops, tantrums and warn out parents are all permitted during my sessions. Although I aim to keep our session casual and authentic, there are a few things that I would love you to remember, especially when it comes to a family photo-shoot. Don’t be afraid to be touchy feely. Be playful. Look at each other. Play. Interact. Use this as a occasion to stop for a while and really treasure this time with your loved ones. Those warm feelings will come across in your images. I will go into some further detail as to what to wear to your session, but most importantly, wear something you feel comfortable in. It will show if you are tugging on clothing or sucking in.
What to wear Dress for the season. If it is Summer or Spring, women can consider dresses or skirts and men Jeans or Khaki. For Winter or Autumn, Women could consider tights and cool coats and men, dark pants and a nice shirt. Wearing layers is always a great idea, especially for children. It means we can get several different looks, just by simply removing or adding a layer. Think about colour combinations. Mix and match them within the family groupings. You could choose to use cool colours or warm colours and the varying tones within these palettes. Cool Colours
Warm Colours
It is best to avoid crazy patterns and logos. These cause distractions within the image. It is especially best to avoid thin strips as they don’t photograph well. It is also great to mix and match, rather than having everyone the same, for example, all wearing jeans and white shirts. We want to get a sense of cohesion, while still maintaining individuality.
Most importantly, lets make it fun. Be prepared to move around, sit or lye on the ground. and run around. playing The best moments usually come when we are all a little bit silly. and I guarentee that I will be right in there giggling with you. I am super excited to be your photographer and share in creating some wonderful, crazy moments with you that you will be able to keep, share and treasure for life. If you have any other questions that you would like answered, then please feel free to drop me a line. I am always happy to to have a chat.
