Hello and welcome to my blogsite! I’m Sheila Carson and I’m an award winning lifestyle portrait and wedding photographer based out of beautiful Bellingham, Washington.
A few things about me… I’m a mom, wife, teacher, artist and photographer. I’m crazy, madly in love with my husband and kids!! I hate to cook, but I love to eat great food! Lucky for me, my husband can cook!! I love chocolate and peanut butter and can be bribed easily with it! I love to dance, but have done less and less as the years have passed and now fear that I just might have turned into Elaine from Seinfeld on the dance floor… somebody please tell me if I’ve lost my groove!! I LOVE to travel and can’t wait to add Paris and New York to my list. I did stop in New York once, but it was just for a 3 hour layover on our way home from Hungary and Austria, so we didn’t have time to explore the city. I lived just outside of Hollywood for a short time when I was 21. I LOVED living there, but I missed my family, so I moved back home. And… I love to sing- really loud!! Not always in front of people though. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to hear it! But I still love to do it!
And about my photography… I have been in love with and fascinated by the idea of capturing meaningful moments on film from as far back as I can remember. From a very young age I would find myself studying old photographs for hours trying to take in every tiny detail. I always loved putting “their story” together in my head from what I saw. That’s what fueled my passion to become a photographer. I wanted to capture little pieces of my subjects in a way that would fascinate the viewer into dreaming up their own story of that moment in time.
When I photograph a wedding, I love to capture every important detail and every intimate moment around me. I look for those special moments that tell the story of the love and laughter that the couple shared on that special day.
My ultimate goal is to find those essential and spontaneous moments and to capture them in a creative and compelling way that will tell your story for years to come.
I look forward to hearing your love story and capturing your happily ever after!
