As a communications professional, I'm used to being the director behind the camera and really don't like having my photograph taken. I was a little nervous about doing a photo shoot, but also excited. Dorothy made it wonderful! It was so much fun trying different poses, different settings and lighting options, and choosing different outfits to see what photographed best on me. It was a unique and enjoyable experience and that was thanks to Dorothy's positive and upbeat coaching throughout the session. Even more than having my photo taken, I dread looking at the product. But once again, Dorothy knocked my socks off. She not only made me feel beautiful during the session, she made me look fantastic in the photos. She also did a quick shoot with my new puppy and got some outstanding poses, which is so hard with any dog, let alone a 4 month old pure black puppy. I've had so many wonderful compliments about the photos I have shared with friends and family, it feels great. Thank you Dorothy for such a positive experience and wonderful results.

Jenna & Steve https://www.carterphotography.ca/blog/2017/2/jenna-steve IMG_0020IMG_0020 I first met Dorothy and instantly felt at ease with her. I later learned that she was an incredibly talented photographer. We were so fortunate to have her take photos of our wedding day. Not only was she the photographer, but she was the calming personality in the room, the bustle fixer and even the boutonniere runner! She went above and beyond what I’d expect any photographer to do. To top it off her photos were stunning. She was able to capture the real us and make us feel at ease with the thought of being in front of a camera. If you’re looking for a photographer, look no further! Thank you for everything Dorothy.

My Lovely Sister https://www.carterphotography.ca/blog/2017/2/my-lovely-sister Carter Photography Dorothy has loved photography for as long as I can remember. Being her sister I have been able to participate in many photo-shoots, and love the results every time. She has a way of capturing people that make a photo so special. I absolutely love working with her because the shoot is as fun as seeing the final result.

Dorothy hasn’t just been my friend and family photographer for almost 10 years; she’s been my personal photographer and inspirer. I’m not a model of any sort, but the images Dorothy always manages to capture of me make me feel both sexy and glamorous. I’m never ashamed of who I am when I look at or show off the photographs Dorothy has taken of me; in fact, I feel extremely proud of the person Dorothy has always seen in me.

Thank you, Dorothy, for your amazing vision and creativity!

My Beautiful Mom https://www.carterphotography.ca/blog/2017/2/my-beautiful-mom One day I assisted Dorothy with a photo shoot and as she showed the young lady her pictures, the response was a breathless, “Wow, is that really me?” Some days, as I look at the photos that Dorothy took of me, I have the same response.

Dorothy is like a juggler as she keeps all aspects of a photo shoot session flowing smoothly. Besides making sure her model is comfortable, she makes sure the setting complements her model and that the lighting brings out the best.

She wants women to know deep inside themselves that, “Wow, that really is me.”

My Self Portrait 2015 https://www.carterphotography.ca/blog/2015/7/my-self-portrait-2015 Dorothy BA for webDorothy BA for web The day was booked. It was time to do a proper beauty self portrait. My regular hair and make-up artist Rebecca would be here. I thought about cancelling... more then once...I even had a good enough reason to. But I didn't. I had to do this. I tell women all the time how they need to exist in photographs for themselves and for their loved ones. I show them how beautiful they are and it was time to show myself. I started by taking my "before" photograph and it was frankly hard to look at myself. I often wonder how I allowed myself to literally double in size. I tell myself - well I'm the boss, I don't have to show the before picture if I don't want to. But I do want to show it because even without the glam and glitz I still see that I am beautiful. We moved into hair and make-up and I was so excited!! I trust Rebecca so I show her a basic idea of what I'm looking for and she gets to work. Eeeeekkkk! When I looked in the mirror I was amazed - behind all these negative stories I tell about myself I see a stunning girl. My next step was to get dressed for my big debut and by get dressed I mean slowly because now was the really scary part - picture time. Rebecca was a life saver and agreed to be my trigger finger and moral support (she even used some of my lines to get me smiling!). I prepared my tripod and got everything set up and we start. I felt unsure and awkward but decided to let all of my worries and fears go. This was all about me and I was determined to enjoy every minute of it. 

Now that I look at the images, I can't even pick them apart. It's self hate that started this for me, but I instead choose look at them with love and gratitude. I see my beautiful shiny hair that has finally grown out, I see my glowing fair skin and my stunning smile. This is me and I couldn't be happier.

Welcome https://www.carterphotography.ca/blog/2013/12/welcome Good Morning!

Thanks for checking out my new beauty website :) I've been debating with doing this for so long and I'm glad that I finally did it!! I love shooting glamour sessions.  It's absolutely incredible to see someone grow from shy and a bit insecure to confident and loving the body that they have. This is definitely something that every woman struggles with at some point in their life and I hope in time to teach so many people how to love themselves for who they are inside and out.  I will admit it's been a personal journey for myself - I've literally doubled in size!! So trust me I can definitely relate to your insecurities but can also help you overcome them.  I'm here to tell you that you're gorgeous and if you book with me I will prove it!
