Mortensen Photography

Angela was a ballet dancer when she was a young woman and at 69 years old still dances for exercise, so we did some beautiful dance styled portraits for her.

Angela and I met for coffee before her session and planned out the clothing she would wear and the types of looks we would do. She said she wasn't sure if she wanted to wear black for her portraits because she thought it would make her look too old. Well, as you can see, she looked AMAZING in black and these ended up being her favorite portraits from the session.

Angela's day started out with hair styling at @curioushaircalgary She then arrived at my home studio for a beautiful makeover by Rachel Draper Jones @siharlow I always start every glamour and beauty portrait session with a "before" photo so my clients can see their beautiful transformation.

This beautiful lady recently came in for Glamour and Beauty portrait session that was gifted to her by her daughter! Angela lives in England and was in Canada visiting her family this summer. Her daughter arranged for Angela to come in for the session so she could have this special experience, and so she could have some beautiful portraits of her mother. Isn't that just a wonderful gift for both of them!! To see more of her session visit my blog! Link in comments!

Family is a blessing! 💗

Congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary Don and Marilyn! ❤️❤️

A special portrait with all the grandchildren. 💗

This summer I was honored to be asked to photograph my Uncle Don and Aunt Marilyn’s 50th wedding anniversary! As part of their celebrations they did an extended family portrait session. What a great idea and what a beautiful keepsake for everyone! 💗 I'll be posting more images from this session over the next little while, but if you want to see more now you can visit my blog.

Dawn and Susan came in for personal branding portraits for a specific purpose, but now they also have portraits for gifts for their family and a beautiful keepsake of themselves!

Lorraine was so much fun to work with and made me feel beautiful! Thanks Lorraine!

Lorraine has a wonderful gift for putting you at ease. Her warmth is genuine, and you'll feel like an old friend or even a member of the family moments after stepping into her studio. Her sense of humour makes it easy to pop a smile, and she can somehow drag a sultry pose and smokey look even out of a graceless rookie. I had portraits done that made me feel lovely. It sounds so simple, but it really is magical. The day spent in the studio was fun and re-energizing. I highly recommend the experience Mortensen Photography has to offer.

I just love Lorraine..& she does the most amazing work <3
