About
Hi, my name is Kara Wieler.  I am a Southern Manitoba Photographer specializing in wedding/portrait/fine art photography and based in Winkler, Manitoba.   This blog was created so that I could have a place to showcase my work, my passion.  Every image holds a place in my heart.  Take a look around and get a feel for who I am, and how I see.   Please feel free to leave comments or contact me if you are interested in booking me for your next photo session in Southern Manitoba.
Last week these girls and I decided to reschedule.  It was +14 degrees, wet, and ridiculously windy.  Today we had what seemed to be a perfect day.  A little bit of clouds, +20 something, a nice light breeze... we had it made.  Well... then the mosquitoes showed up!!!  

Thanks Brittany, Carly, and Emily for putting up with those little buggers!!!!  I had a fun time, and hopefully you did too despite being eaten alive!  Here's a little taste of what's to come!!

June 14, 2010 // Wedding
Randy and Michelle were married back in April.  They totally made me jealous by going to New Zealand for their honeymoon...  I wish!!!  I've been to New Zealand and it definitely stole my heart, and I'm guessing they loved it just as much as I did.  What a great place to go for a honeymoon, I totally agree with going BIG for your honeymoon.  When's the next time you'll have such a perfect excuse to go anywhere in the world that you want?!?!?! 

Here's a bit of Randy and Michelle's day.  Michelle was an absolutely gorgeous bride, but that was no big surprise to any of us!!!  

All the best to you both, I wish you many, many years of marriage bliss!!!!

June 7, 2010 // Graduation
It's funny how I never knew who read my blog until I stopped blogging consistently!  It's been a crazy spring, and with the new launch of Jack and Ruby and lots of other work going on, I haven't been blogging as much as I'd like.  Many, MANY people have been reminding me of this!  Thank you all for being such faithful readers!  I so appreciate my readers and fellow photographers and everyone who supports me!  I'll try to be a little more consistent from now on!!!  I have lots of projects to come up here on the blog, so now I just need to find the time to show them to you!!!

Here's Carolyn.  I put up a sneak peek for you all a few weeks ago, but here is the rest of her session!  Carolyn is the winner of my grad contest, and she brought her sister Crystal along to two of our stops along the way.  They are both graduating this month and I wish them all the best in their exciting futures!!!!  I kinda envy where they are right now, some days I would love to be 18 again and see where I would end up if I had a second chance!!!

Carolyn's slideshow can be seen here!

Over the past, oh, I don't know, 6 months, I have been turning down wedding after wedding for 2011.  Well, there's a reason for that!!!  Those of you who know me will be thinking right now that it's because I'm pregnant... well, though I am pregnant, I still intend on working next summer.  The actual reason is that I've been busy planning away with my friend Becky.  We've been planning a new project, a partnership actually.  Becky and I are now going to be doing weddings together.  Yup, that's right!  We are both so excited to work together for ALL of our weddings next year, and hopefully for the years to come!  

So, for all you engaged couples still looking for a 2011 wedding photographer, please go visit us at JACK AND RUBY PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!  And everybody else, please go take a look as well!  We've been working hard and are so excited to show off Jack and Ruby to the world!  

Stay tuned all summer for many more updates on Jack and Ruby, we've been up to all sorts of shooting and we just can't wait to share it with you!!!!
