About / Calgary, Banff, Canmore Photographer
At Wild Heart Photography we believe in pursuing curiosity, loving passionately and cherishing joy.
My name is Laura, founder and lead photographer at Wild Heart Photography. My love for what I do is fuelled by a passion for people and the moments that make our lives unique.
Photographing people during monumental moments in their lives made me realize I get the chance to connect on a level with my clients that many jobs don't allow. I get to be a part of something so special, and provide them with images they will cherish their entire lives. I've always wanted to be a part of something important and I can't think of anything more important than capturing people's lives and moments of joy in a creative way.
10 Things About Me
I believe in individuality and connecting with my clients on a deeper level. Here's a little introduction to me and some of my quirks and favourite things. I’d love to get to know you and your family too!
1. My favourite part about a wedding is when I steal away the bride and groom for photos. They often forget about me (temporarily) and during this time they are so real with each other, so excited, so in love. It is the coolest thing to witness and capture.
2. I don't drink coffee (I know, I know!) I get my caffeine fix through tea. My fave mug is a camping yeti because in a regular mug I was microwaving my drink umpteen times a morning.
3. I love to grab my camera and take a drive. I go with no plan. I come to an intersection and at that moment pick a direction. I do this until I come across something I want to photograph. Doing this had led me to some of my favourite personal photographs.
4. I have a deep appreciation for mid century modern decor. I may need to live in one of those swanky hotels that do this style so well one day (like in Palm Springs or LA).
5. My cocktails of choice: a Negroni or a filthy gin martini with extra blue cheese olives.
6. I can't live without the 'do not disturb' mode on my iPhone or 8 hours of sleep.
7. If I had to describe myself in three words it would be adventurous, deep feeling and active.
8. I was an original "Fire & Ice Girl" for the Calgary Flames. No, I never wiped out.
9. I have two sons and a husband I love dearly and this should have been #1 on my intro.
10. I love all of the sunshine Calgary gets as I definitely don't mesh well with grey skies. Call me crazy but, I also love winter. I‘m loving all the restaurants we have now, the foodie situation has taken leaps and bounds. I am the biggest fan of the view from an airplane, whether flying in or out I get an overwhelming sense of pride seeing my 'hometown' from way up there.
