THE BEGINNING

“Keila Marie Photography was started on a                       ”

My story starts growing up in a small Prairie town, as the awkward introverted only child with glasses, wild curly hair & probably a puppy in tow.

I grew up in a tiny Prairie town in Southern Manitoba as the curly-haired glasses-wearing only child. I was the quiet girl always holding up in the art classroom. My love for photography started before I even knew what to call it - flipping through old film photos of my parents dating in their 90's fits, family road trips to the West Coast, me curled up with my grandpa or playing in the flower gardens with my grandma. I didn't know it then, but those photos were planting the seed. At an early age, looking at those photographs was incredibly impactful to my memories of those moments.

Fast- forward to high school when I joined yearbook class & basically hijacked the school camera every chance I got. I would take photos of my friends, then friends of friends, families, anyone I could. One thing led to another, and I photographed my first wedding at 17.

After earning my photography diploma, I dove in head first - no backup plan, just a lot of hustling. Now I'm 10 years into my photography business and I get to spend my days capturing life, love and all the little in between moments you'll want to remember forever - the one's you'll back on years from now and bring you right back in to those memories.
