Everlast Photography

Soft-spoken and serene, calm and comforting, Karena Dyck’s demeanour immediately abates new parents’ concerns about passing over their fragile, precious, brand new baby for a posed newborn photography session with Everlast Photography.

Not only is Karena a protective mother herself, but she also makes each baby’s safety her number one priority during a studio session. “In the portrait world,” she says, “posed newborns are difficult; you have to be totally trained on safety before you even attempt anything. You [also] have to be really patient because the baby dictates your schedule and dictates how the shoot’s going to go. You have to always be thinking about [the baby’s] safety and comfort.”
