Graduation

Posted on June 30, 2009

The other week my daughter Amanda, graduated 8th grade. It was a wonderful evening and ceremony can’t believe she starts highschool  this fall! Amanda and her friends have grown up so much these past 8 years, it’s hard to know where the time went!  It was my great pleasure to shoot these girls before the ceremony and be a part of such a great evening and memory…..

Married

Posted on June 16, 2009

These two love birds were married a few months back but wanted a few images done outdoors. How lucky am I to shoot a bride and groom and have them all to myself for 2 hours? These two had great personalities, plenty of humour and they really struck me as perfect together. It was a great time. Love the images we captured! Thanks B&C for putting up with my humour and helping me find my keys! ;)

10x20b

 8x12b            To the outside world, we all grow old.   But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were/ We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We outside the touch of time.  Carla Ortega

Smithville Christian High School - SDCH

Posted on May 18, 2009

I’ve been shooting at Smithville Christian High over the last few weeks taking images for their promotional material.  I’ve had the pleasure of capturing Boys Soccer, the cast of the drama production (The Mouse that Roared), Chapel, Creative Arts evening, the Community Choir as well as regular student life. I’d like to tell you that it makes me feel like a teen again - but nope. I have enjoyed it though!

We took a day trip down to Sedona - the forecast was snow but wasn’t about to stop a bunch of Canadians! LOL There was no snow after all, just lots of wonderful scenery to absorb…
