Ooh La La Photography bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

Here you will find some sneak peeks from recent photosessions or just some fun posts and pictures of me and my family.  

I'm an on location photographer based out of Chestermere, Alberta serving Calgary, Alberta and surrounding areas.  I specialize in maternity, newborn, children, families and  Weddings. My sister and I photograph Weddings together and we are now booking Weddings in Winnipeg, Manitoba as well.  You can check out our work at oohlalaweddings.ca

I am so passionate about photography, when my baby girl was born almost three years ago I wanted to capture every second of her life.  This is when my camera became more like another limb for me.  Soon after my sister got engaged and they had asked me to do their engagement photos and that is when I actually realized how much I LOVE photography, and everything basically has just taken off from there.  I have learned so much in the last 3 years but I know there is so much more I want to learn.

Thanks to my amazing husband Jamie, my friends and family for all the love and support and to my two little girls who inspire me everyday.

And thank YOU for stopping by, take your time, enjoy, and leave a comment or two on your way out...

Thanks,

Karina

Sienna | Day four

I just adore this little girl…and I’m just having too much fun doing newborn photos for my own (she’s sleeping all the time anyway)!  I’m sure I’ll have a ton of posts to come especially of my two girls but I’ll need another set of hands around here for that.  It’s been a few days now and she’s doing amazing, it’s been really nice just spending time at home, having visitors & going for a few walks!  Here are a few photos I took on Day four…..

 

Enjoy…

Sienna Ava Grace | 6lbs 2oz

Our beautiful baby girl has arrived on Saturday June 26th at 8:20pm and I can’t even describe the joy she brings to our little family…we got home yesterday evening and she is just such a blessing! I can only thank God for my two little angels!

The girls are both sleeping and I will be posting more pictures but here is one for now…and off for a nap myself!

 

Meet Sienna….

Hiller Family. Anticipation

I had a fellow photographer friend Bao To Photography take these prenatals for us a couple of weeks ago and he did an amazing job!  Thank you Bao….(I was about 37 weeks at the time)

Just for a quick update we have not had the baby yet but were getting very, very excited (due. June 27th)…..we know it’s God’s timing since we tried anything & everything of how to go into labour when we had our first daughter 4 days after my due date (December 21, 2007) which happened to be Christmas Day…so we all think this baby will arrive on a holiday, maybe Canada Day? which also happens to be our 5 year Wedding Anniversary.  

But I’m sure I will have pictures up as soon as this little one makes his/her appearance…gender we have kept a secret!

I’ve also really enjoyed having the month of June off, spending a lot of time with Izzy, taking her to the zoo, the pool, lots of playdates which has been soooo much fun!  The weather is finally starting to look up and I’m looking forward to my cousin Cassidy who’s coming from Winnipeg, MB to visit for a week and then my sister who will be coming to visit for a month…anyways I hope you enjoy my prenatals…I’m always the one standing behind the camera, it’s not very often that I stand in front of the camera.  

 

Enjoy  : D

Stockerts. Anticipation

I did these prenatals for a very good friend of mine Angela who was also the model for my very first prenatal photoshoot 2 years ago (September) when Joshua was born, it was so much fun…once again…..isn’t she just glowing and beautiful???   This time we kept it fresh, fun & simple and I think they turned out great especially in B&W.  I’m so excited to meet this little one and it’ll be nice to have our 2nd babes so close together in age as well.  Joshua is such a sweetheart and SO excited to meet his little brother in a couple of months and I can’t wait to photograph him…..Enjoy your sneak peek : D
