Hello, I’m Carla.

I’m a photographer and storyteller creating emotional portraiture and short films for women — especially mothers — at every stage of becoming.

My work is rooted in personal truth — shaped by what I’ve lived, what I’ve lost, and what I’ve learned to hold sacred.
I create slowly, intuitively. I lead with feeling. I trust the story will reveal itself.

If you're here, you're probably someone who sees the world in layers.
Someone who feels before they define.
Someone who remembers the scent of old places or the way light fell in a room, more than what was said.

I am sensitive. Intuitive. Emotive. Sometimes melancholic.
But always reaching — for light, for meaning, for beauty hidden in quiet places.

My Why I Create.

Nineteen years ago, I lost my mother and gave birth to my daughter — all in the same year.
I was propelled into a circle of profound grief and joy that cracked me open and changed everything.

It was in that duality — that ache — that my work began.
Not as a business. Not as a service. But as a survival.

I searched for photographs of my mother and found very few.
No quiet portraits. No still moments of her on her own.
Just group shots. Cropped faces. Shadows of someone I knew deeply, but couldn’t quite hold in image.

And so, this became my calling.
To make sure no woman goes unseen.
To leave something behind — not just for us, but for those who come after.

This work is how I connect. How I stand in the gap with women.
How I witness and honour womanhood in all its seasons.
I find pieces of myself in every story I tell.

I thought I needed to step away to find myself again.
But the pull back to this work was louder than ever.
Because this isn’t just something I do — it’s my life’s work.
It’s my purpose. My ministry. My heart-song.
