Hi, I’m Carla, the photographer behind Ellahrika.
For many of my clients, stepping in front of a camera feels intimidating. “I don’t know how to pose,” “I never look good in photos,” “I’m too awkward.”
I hear that almost every time.
And then, within minutes of being in front of my lens, those same people are laughing, relaxed, and seeing themselves in ways they never thought possible.
Because my job isn’t just to click the shutter.
It’s to create a space where you feel comfortable, guided, and confident. Where you can stop worrying if you’re “photogenic” and instead experience what it feels like to finally be seen.
More Than Photos. It’s About How You See Yourself.
My Approach: Calm, Supportive, Transformative
Clients often describe me as a calming presence, someone who holds space for you to shake off the nerves and find your flow. I guide you step by step, from what to wear, to how to pose, to those little adjustments that make all the difference.
The result? Portraits that feel natural, powerful, and true to who you are.
Many call their sessions “empowering,” “transformative,” even “life-changing.”
I specialize in working with women 40+ and professional teams who come in nervous and leave glowing.
Why? Because I know the doubts that sneak in: “Am I too old? Too late? Too camera-shy?”
The truth is — you are not. You deserve to be seen in your best light, at every stage.
For Professionals Who Say “I’m Not Photogenic”
Magazine-Quality Results
Every image is refined with subtle, professional retouching, think polished, not plastic. My clients say their photos look like something out of a magazine, yet still feel like them.
Whether it’s for your business, your brand, or simply for yourself the photos you’ll walk away with are ones you’ll be proud to share and treasure.
The studio
Located in Milton On. I have a home based studio that my clients have commented on as a warm and comfortable environment that allows them to relax. There is a make-up room and private change area.
WHAT ARE CLIENTS
Thank you Carla for helping me find me !
I can't say enough about the skill, professionalism, and soulfulness that Carla provided me as I decided to have a professional portrait done. Carla has a knack of making you feel comfortable, calm and happy as she provides a warm environment that created my amazing photographic images, Her images showed me being me...capturing the me that never seemed to be captured in casual photos. In the photo transition, I went from a stiff Kathy to a happy Kathy and someone who started feeling beautiful in my own skin again!
Carla, thank you for providing me with such beautiful images and an amazing experience. Your guidance on what to expect, what I needed to do, like suggesting a haircut before the shoot, to a mani/pedi to make me feel special, and providing hair styling and professional make up in the session. You made me be calm and happy which showed through the photos....you helped bring ease to my being, and your skill as a photographer produced incredible photos.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I am so happy with my photos that Carla took (she is amazing). I took part of the beautiful experience of 50 over 50 project with Carla. Wow it was amazing, from having my hair and make up done just before the shoot and then being guided to get the best smile and poses. A very uplifting experience. Carla you are amazing. thank you

I just had the most excellent experience with Carla. It’s one of those things that you would like to do, but may be a little nervous to undertake, however, Carla put me completely at ease, and it was a wonderful photo session. I was very pleased with the photos and have already framed mine and have it hanging.
I encourage everywoman who is looking in the mirror and thinking, I’m not ready, to rethink that, and just go do it!

I would like to recommend Carla for any photography you are looking for. Even if you are sceptical of a glamour shot, Carla will . make you feel special and at ease. I am so happy with the results and expertise she has shown me. As well she has given me tips, unknowingly, on having a photo taken on my own. As an older woman, I am in need of such tricks! Thank you Carla, good luck in all you do.

I had the pleasure of sitting for a photo shoot with Carla Morgado. I brought all my insecurities with me. I was amazed at her compassion and kindness. No words can describe the photos she took. I left empowered and confident, and beautiful, and do not remember ever feeling as I do now at the age of 69. Thank-you, Carla" is just not enough to express my gratitude for bringing out the beauty in the ordinary. Everyone should experience what I did!

Carla is amazingly talented! She put me totally at ease, she was fun to work with & play with! I thought I would be uncomfortable & shy about being over 70 years old & having photos done - I just enjoyed it so much! Now I have some photos to give my kids & my grandkids that I feel so good about! I’m still smiling!

This isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s an experience.
Clients leave not only with images they love, but with something even more powerful: a shift in how they see themselves.
If you’ve ever thought “I could never look like that in a photo,” I built Ellahrika for you.
Because you can. And I’d love to show you.
