Born In Mud Bay

Living for lifes most intimate moments in the most magical places.

Capturing your most authentic self in the realist of ways.

Hi I’m Maggie!

As a photographer, I am drawn to connection. I believe there is something so special about seeing a photo and being able to feel the emotion from the moment when it was captured. Behind my lens, I believe in authenticity and showing all forms of love in the realest of ways. For those who know me, you know I wear my heart on my sleeve, I am always down for an adventure and will do whatever I can to keep people smiling. Whether we are nestled in an intimate setting, or up somewhere on a mountain, a part of me comes to life when I pick up my camera. I am thankful everyday that I found photography because its allows me to truly express myself and capture the greatest thing we have in this world. No matter the occasion, I am humbled at the opportunity to play a small part in one of your life’s greatest moments.

It is my hope that clients may come to understand that Born In Mud Bay represents connection to the people and places that mean the most to us - allowing us all to be exactly and unapologetically ourselves.

Nordegg Helicopter Elopement

Weddings

The most memorable part of this wedding day was the energy that carried throughout the entire weekend. Mike and Jade’s relationship is one of spontaneity, spice and complete admiration for each-other. Often, you can find them poking fun and making jokes while also expressing their fearless commitment for their love and life together. In the small group we were in, there wasn’t a moment where one of us weren’t laughing, in awe of our surroundings or crying happy tears over all the love and friendship in the air.

Stories

- Shelby & Theodore

“Wow! We are in awe over the stunning quality of our engagement photos that Maggie took! Maggie followed us out into a magical, but very chilly, winter wonderland and captured the most authentically beautiful photos of us. Neither my fiancé or I enjoy photos much but Maggie brought such spunk and enthusiasm that there was no denying that we were going to have fun and look good. When we got to our location Maggie jumped out and instantly began playing music to help set the mood. For some this may seem like a simple addition but it made a world of difference in feeling comfortable and being able to express our true selves. We cannot wait to see the magic that Maggie will bring for our wedding photos later this year! I would recommend Born in Mud Bay a million times over!”

- Keltie & Sam

“I have had the absolute pleasure of having Maggie work her photo magic a few times now and I have to say I will never look elsewhere. Not only her attention to detail but her fun personality makes her photo sessions incredible. She has done two family photo sessions and a headshot shoot for some Calgary based hair stylists and I. You can tell she is extremely passionate about what she does and that carries into her work. I could not say more kind words about her or recommend her more! The only thing I wish is that we crossed paths before I got married because her wedding shoots are absolutely dreamy! If you’re thinking about booking her… DO IT!”

- Julie & Jacob

“Maggie was an absolute pleasure to work with as our wedding photographer. She is so creative, caring, relaxed and a true professional throughout the entire process. We presented a vision to Maggie with only a few days before the wedding and she surpassed what we could have ever imagined. Her photographs truly represent such grace and elegance and that was exactly what we hoped for. I can’t wait to look back on these incredible photos and relive the most amazing day! Truly timeless and captivating body of work. I couldn’t be happier to support Maggie in her career. She is absolutely brilliant at what she does and truly one of a kind!”

- Vanessa & Justin

“We had a smaller, intimate wedding, under 50 people. The one thing we both agreed on right away was choosing Maggie as our photographer. Best decision ever! We absolutely love our photographs, they completely exceeded our expectations (didn't think that even possible!). I would honestly run into a burning building to save our wedding album, it is officially a family heirloom. Thanks so much Maggie for being so awesomely talented. We felt very fortunate to have you found you!”

- Cameron & Lyn

Our photos look magical! We have shared them with all our friends and family and everyone cannot believe how beautiful they turned out. Maggie was so wonderful at putting us at ease, and capturing some truly candid moments. We have nothing but the highest praise for everything she did. We will forever cherish these photos along with the memories we made that day. Maggie clearly love’s what she does and it shows! Can’t wait to have her photograph our journey in the future!

- Erin & Jesse

Maggie was an absolute dream to work with for our recent maternity session. She was relaxed and easy going, while showing an obvious love for what she was creating. She has a definite eye for detail both small and large, and was great at communicating what she was trying to achieve. Both my husband and I felt at ease and comfortable right from the start of our session. Her sense of humour and professional demeanour was refreshing! She surpassed all of our expectations in taking our vision, and turning into a beautiful reality. I honestly have no idea how we will pick which ones to print or display. We would strongly recommend her to any of our friends, and look forward to hopefully having the opportunity to work with her again in the future. Thank you for helping us create these memories!

- Taylor & Cooper

Maggie made us feel so comfortable, and made it easy to smile genuine smiles! We are the type of family that somehow at least one person has their eyes closed or half open in every photo, but she caught us all in our best moments. She also magically tamed and pictured our wild 2 year old, which on the day, I thought would have been nearly impossible! To say she is talented is an understatement. Every smile and moment she captured was authentically us, and she made it feel effortless. We couldn’t recommend Born in Mud Bay enough, and will definitely be booking them for any of our future adventures.

- Lorree & Sean

We had such an amazing experience having Maggie take our pictures to celebrate our five year anniversary together. The minute we were together she made both of us feel at ease and comfortable! Maggie has a contagious energy that immediately makes you feel like you are in a perfect dream. I loved that we were able to collaborate on different ideas to be able to have what I had envisioned come true! Getting to look through the pictures together as a couple is such a magical moment that we will always treasure. We will definitely be doing another photoshoot with Maggie in the future! It is the perfect way to capture the love you feel for each other!

- Shontanna & Dan

Born In Mud Bay has done an amazing job capturing our picture perfect moments. Maggie is an absolute amazing photographer, is highly enjoyable to be around and has an eye for the perfect picture. Maggie did a phenomenal job with our maternity & newborn photos. I received them and they made me cry! She is phenomenal and I highly recommend getting her to capture those special moments in your life. I couldn’t have asked for better memories captured by Maggie. She really outdid herself and I cannot wait to get more family photos done with her.

- Chelsea & Dustin

Maggie and Ben were so wonderful to work with. Right from the beginning she was helpful with location and outfit ideas and picking the time of day for the best lighting. The photo session was fun and easy going, the two hours flew by. Maggie was able to capture the bond that Dustin and I have together and with our dog. We are so happy with all the photos and the little details that made this so special. I highly recommend Born in Mud Bay Photography and look forward to doing more photos with them in the future.
