Photography is a perfect way to express our appreciation for the special people we have in our lives. At Marvelous Photographs, we specialize in capturing candid moments and always aim to get effortless and natural images.
Hey! I'm Haley, a small town girl, living in the big city of Calgary, going on weekend adventures to Banff, Canmore and Kananaskis to fill my soul. There is something about fresh air, wide open spaces (don't hate me for throwing in a little country music reference) and nothing but time to kill that fills me up. Every time I drive to the mountains I feel like I'm going home, maybe it's the fact that I met my husband there many years ago under a star filled sky or maybe its the way life feels a little slower and a little quieter that speaks to my heart. I'm 'mama' to two, crazy, little wildings that have that same adventure loving and free spirited nature that I do. There is never a mountain too high, a river too cold or an idea too crazy for them. Its my littles that have inspired me to pick up a camera and never put it down. I love capturing all those special but ordinary moments, the dirty hands hugging his sister, the way he looks up and smiles at Dad and his wild and free abandon for everything in life. The little rolls on her legs, the dimple on only one cheek and her pure delight at watching her brother run. These moments mean so much but are far too fleeting. Adventurous, storytelling family sessions are such a beautiful way to remember the little things because I can document how those tiny toes grow, the hugs get bigger and grander, and the imagination and adventures change over time. It's such a joy to document the little moments from maternity, to newborn to rambunctious family sessions and really make the personalities come to life in photos to last a life time. I always try to remember on those hard moms days that the kisses and 'whys' wont last forever and one day he will find his best friend thats not me so I need to capture it in all its glory to showcase at his wedding one day.
Hi, I'm Nadine! I specialize in weddings, engagement, and boudoir but I also enjoy maternity, families, and newborn sessions as well. I am proud that my work has been included in marketing for Mikaella Bridal and Fairmont Hotels Weddings. I have also been honoured to have my work featured in Confetti Bridal Magazine as well as The Wedding Ring Magazine. My passion is capturing the natural moments that radiate love so they are preserved perfectly for a lifetime. My photography career has given me the opportunity to meet so many amazing people and travel all around the world. Here's a little bit about my personal life! I am based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada but I enjoy travelling worldwide for my photography and also for leisure. I love my family, nature, and lattes! Highlights of my life so far have been backpacking through Europe, marrying my best friend in 2019, and becoming a mother to a baby boy.

On your hunt for the perfect cake smash photographer, you have most likely come across a lot of options. Here are the things that make me different from other photographers out there: I am university-educated in photography; I am not self-taught. I carry high-end, professional equipment and duplicate gear just in case one fails or becomes damaged during your session. All my gear is for full-frame equipment only, meaning your photo quality will be prestigious for this precious lifetime moment. I favour the use of prime lenses (not zoom lenses), meaning the natural clarity of the photo will be enhanced. The In-Studio Cake Smash Photography Session is ideal for families who would prefer to have the shoot (and the cake mess) outside of their home. If you would prefer an in-home or outdoor session, I also offer an In-Home/Outdoor Cake Smash Photography Session (see my portfolio).

Showcase that bump! I love capturing growing bellies, there is something so special about pregnancy, it means so much in different ways to each individual. I personally feel my most beautiful when pregnant, I love the growing bump, all the aches and pains and beauty that comes with it. When people says you are glowing, I really see that, I make it come to life and hope to make you see it too. When I think of the word goddess, I always think of a mama to be. Whether it's a solo session with just you and your bump, a first pregnancy with dads hand always near by or another addition to a growing family, I love to document it all. Its about capturing this fleeting moment in your life, those last precious moments before your first born gets the important title of 'big', or the life changing moment of holding your babe for the first time. Your life will be forever changed and these are moment you never want to forget. To look back and remember the emotions of feeling those little kicks and seeing your body transform in such a magical way. I truly believe in celebrating your changing body and family.

Maternity and newborn photos are really important life events that you want to remember and that your immediate family and friends want to remember as well! I want to be there to freeze all those special moments in time. Whether it's showing off your first pregnancy belly, capturing photos of your beautiful newborn baby or grandpa holding baby for the first time. These are moments that will always be cherished! During the first few minutes of the shoot I will lay out a plan of what you can expect during the photoshoot. I'll introduce myself and turn on some music to help create a fun and calming atmosphere. Clients can absolutely recommend poses, outfit ideas etc. I want these photos to capture you as a couple and I want you to feel comfortable, so if there is something specific you are looking for I will be sure to capture that for you. Basics: 1 hour, 30 edited digital high resolution images, delivery of gallery within 14 days.

Those tiny hands and feet grow so fast and those long sleepy days turn into wild, beautiful chaos. I absolutely love capturing those 'oh so sweet' first moments of a sweet babes life, because they go too fast. I was once you, pregnant and wondering 'should we do newborn photos?', The answer is yes, its always yes and not a decision I once ever questioned. The days fly by and its so important to remember those sweet little features just how they are, to have memories to hang on your wall of how that little babe fit perfectly into the palm of your hand, those soft, wrinkly little feet and the cutest yawns you ever did see. I love to capture your family exactly how they are, to document just how life is in the newborn chaos. There is no need to get dressed up, although I have a beautiful client closet if thats what you love, and don't worry about the blankets, toys and bottles lying around, thats all part of the story. My newborn sessions are about you, your family and exactly how it all started! If you ask my clients they will tell you I have a knack for turning chaos into beauty.
