Lifestyle photographer for families, couples, expecting mamas, newborns and women's portraits. Serving Calgary, Kananaskis and surrounding areas.

Welcome to the real, the honest, and the beautifully unfiltered.


I'm a Calgary-based photographer capturing connection in all its forms:


The quiet love of a growing family

The chaos and magic of motherhood

The sparks between soulmates

and now...

the strength and spirit within you.


Whether you're newly in love, deep in the chaos of family life or reclaiming your voice through powerful portraits - you're in the right place.


Because around here?

I don't do perfect. I do real.


I hold space for beauty and truth.

I slow time - just long enough to capture the moments that matter most.

The ones you'll want to remember years from now. The ones you'll pass on.

I capture it all -

with heart, honesty, and golden light.


Let's tell your story - just as you are.

Candid, casual & fun lifestyle family photos in downtown Inglewood during summer by Love & Sunshine Photography.

Let's freeze the moments that matter - the tender, the messy, the magical in-between.

I can’t recommend Marcella enough with her beautiful talent to capture your memories. She made my family feel comfortable and safe to be ourselves. We have been lucky to have her take photos of our family in different stages and will continue to do so.

My promise to you...

You'll never have to wonder what to do. I'll guide you through planning, styling and your session so you can relax and simply be together.

You don't have to be "good at photos." No stiff posing or forced smiles. I'll give you direction when you need it and space for the real moments to unfold.

You'll leave with photographs that feel like you. The love, laughter, chaos, and connection preserved exactly as this season of your life actually felt.
