I would like to properly introduce you to my friend Meg. I'm so proud of her for taking the steps to pursue her own passion for photography. Her talent is undeniable, and I think you will love her work as much as I do! From Meg: I’m Megan. I’m a photographer based out of Calgary, Alberta. I got in to photography working as a set stylist and production assistant on fashion shoots, red carpet events, music festivals, and styled shoots for publication and print. I have always had an interest and love for film and cameras, and was lucky enough to be able to work on sets with talented production crews, and some of the local photographers I admired. I always looked up to them and thought they had bomb ass jobs, until one day, I thought, ‘why NOT me?’ I invested in some local and online workshops, bought some fancy gear, and started harassing my friends to let me take their picture. I learned how to capture and tell a story with still images, and make people feel comfortable and themselves in front of my camera. I haven’t specialized in a genre yet because I love the creative energy and excitement I feel when someone approaches me with a new idea. I feel lucky everyday to be able to work in a creative field, and take images for you, that you are just as much in love with as I am. -meg Images from Meg at our first styled session - boudoir set. Meg will be joining us again for our second Styled Session - Cozy Couple; as our lead photographer. Our Cozy Couple session is NOW FULL!! Be sure to watch for more dates being announced this winter/spring for wedding styled sessions and more intimate/couple sessions. thank you friends

It is imperative to learn from our vendors. Learn what our designs mean to them and how they translate to each vendor!! The beauty styling of our models means so much to how the rest of our shoots come out...we couldn't do any of this without their expertise!! |

I adore having Robin on set. She is on top of the beauty styling for the entire day of shooting! She sees things like a misplaced hair, a smudged lip, and things the rest of us miss until we see images after the fact!!! These last few images are from our last styled session with Robin as our hair & makeup expert! |

Our day began with a beautiful hot beverage bar including creamy hot chocolate with home made maple marshmallows, Calgary Heritage Roasters Coffee, and tea; and super tasty morning pastries!
As our attendees arrived, they were able to get cozy in our cuddle corner we filled with holiday pillows and warm blankets, and get to know the other attendees.
Our styling stations were all set with a styling board, December calendar, fresh greens, styling blocks, and a special gift for each!
Our friend Tavia got us started with a quick tutorial on her own styling board, teaching us how to make our designs our own!
Our attendees were able to pick pieces from our styling bar to help complete their flat lay designs. We had lots of holiday decor, and of course our maker friends hooked us up with some fantastic holiday garlands, cards, tags, and ornaments.
We were able to plan and design our own boards, work together, and
even had a fun challenge to complete with teams!!
Our holiday lunch was filled with comfort food! What a lovely way to enjoy lunch with everyone at our holiday styled table.
We are so thankful to have Melanie join us and take photos of everyone's designs, and some fun behind the scenes as well!

From Kimberly:
Hey Friends! I'm so glad you're here! I'm Kimberly, the gal behind the camera at Chic & Grace Studios. I am located in Red Deer, Alberta, and will travel anywhere adventure may take me! I specialize in Wedding & Grad Photography, I also have a huge place in my heart for Pet Photography.
When I'm not creating beautiful photographs for my clients, you can find me in my art studio painting or scrapbooking! In my downtime I might be putting together a puzzle or playing games (**ahem...winning/losing gracefully) with my family or doing one of my other favourite things, camping in the mountains!
I have been happily married to my wonderful husband for 23 years now! Even after all those years, when he looks at me, my heart still skips a beat.
