Yellow Petal Photo

I have had the privilege of working with Arleta on a couple of occasions. One of my firsts was when she traveled to Red Deer, Alberta with me to be my second shooter at a wedding. Not only did she capture wonderful candid images she was a delight to be around, her positive energy was felt by everyone around her. When she moved to the island we did a collaboration shoot and she captured an array of images of me both in a professional and intimate way (by intimate i mean I had little clothing on). She made this experience effortless and comfortable and the images were stunning. Additionally, Arleta also captured some multigenerational images of my family as well. Arleta truly has a uniquely creative eye when it comes to photography. She strives to capture YOU, your uniqueness and all those emotions people love to see in their images. I highly recommend Arleta for your photography needs!

Working with Arleta has been such a wonderful experience. She immediately put me at ease and brought the best out of me for my photos. I so greatly appreciated the support and encouragement she offered, as I was nervous having photos taken for my business website. I was so impressed with the end result, she is now my go to for any photos I need, not just business but also family sessions. She has a talent for capturing natural and organic moments!

Amazing photographer! I was very nervous for our shoot, but Arleta made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera! This is so much more than a photography session, this is an energetic experience. Arleta brings out your true soul-essence in these photos. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I cannot recommend Arleta enough!

Arleta is so wonderful to work with!

A session with Arleta is an experience! It is SO MUCH MORE than simply having your photo taken. It is REAL live genuine connection. It is being SEEN, so truly seen and understood often without the need for words. Arleta has a way of tapping into each individuals' unique energy and flows with that. From the first moment we met I felt so comfortable to show up and be myself. Watching Arleta in her element is inspiring, she brings this beautiful curiosity and AWE of the natural world filled with gratitude for the space to create in. It's a joint process, an exploration and an experience I wish every human could have. To be captured so authentically by this beautiful human is truly a gift. Oh and also the photos are UNREAL!!!

Loved the photographers energy! Very kind, professional, and precise. Everyone had a fun time and the pictures turned out awesome!

When it comes to Arelta (Yellow Petal Photo), it's not just about the final product, but the whole experience. From the moment of first connection, she cultivates a space of openness, vulnerability, self-expression, creativity, and freedom--all while honouring your boundaries and expectations of the shoot/session. She offers you a safe space to celebrate and explore being the most memorable thing of the moment. She uses her innate creative talents to capture not just an image, but the feeling(s) within it. Every time I reflect back on a photo from one of our shoots, I am not only reminded of the moment, I am reminded of the joy, freedom, courage, doubt, confidence, and/or growth that was captured within that moment.

Praise to Arleta!I was fortunate enough to be reunited with Arleta five years after attending university together. She met me and my family on the beach. We had no intention of having photos done this day but she kindly offered to grab some shots while we enjoyed ourselves. I had no idea these photos would turn out so amazing! They perfectly captured the moments between me, my son and baby bump. They are natural and spontaneous photos, which I love. In fact, I loved them so much I invited her to my home to take newborn photos after my son way born. The process was anything but forceful and awkward as some photo sessions can be. I appreciated her enthusiasm to take the photos, as if she got just as much excitement in taking them as I do having them. I was so inspired by her passion it sparked me to pick up a camera and learn how to capture photos myself. She made it looks so fun! I’m forever grateful.
