ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY!

My name is Mila Boekestyn, I specialize in maternity, newborn, baby and family portraiture, serving Airdrie, Calgary and surrounding areas in beautiful Alberta, Canada.

ABOUT ME:

I fell in love with photography as a child: my grandfather was an amateur black and white photographer who developed his work in his home darkroom. I remember looking at the white paper and witnessing the magical process, seeing shapes appear, eventually revealing a recognizable image.

Ever since my 2 children were born, I spent a great deal of time capturing their every moment, leading me to study photography and pursue mastering it as an art. I love working with children and families, capturing their connections and interactions. I especially love photographing newborns – there is just a great and rewarding responsibility working with brand new life, capturing moments in time that are there and gone too quickly.

WHY CHOOSE ME?

Since opening my business in 2014, I have been continuously improving and perfecting my skill set with training from world renowned photographers. I have extensive experience handling newborns and babies of any age so you can have every confidence that your little one will be happy and safe with me during our session.

I have been certified as a Qualified Newborn Photographer (QNP) with the Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International, placing me amongst an elite group of photographers worldwide who currently hold QNP certification, and I have won multiple awards for my images with Baby Photo Awards for photographers. I have also been recognized as one of the best photographers in Calgary!

Having a newborn baby can be overwhelming and while it is important, the last thing a parent needs to worry about is the work or stress that can sometimes be involved with arranging for photography and professional pictures. My portable studio system and experience will ensure we capture the most beautiful images of your brand new baby with the least amount of disruption to your household and the most amount of parental enjoyment possible. I want you to have fun. I want things to be relaxed, flexible, and as comfortable as possible for you and your family. I want your experience to be as enjoyable as the photos we produce together are beautiful.

My business is fully licensed and insured. I photograph with natural lighting as well as studio lighting. I offer a variety of quality props and backdrops to choose from. I promise your session will be a wonderful and satisfying experience.
