Working with Paula was great experience from booking to receiving photos.She was quick to respond and guided us throughly.She helped us choose the location and she came prepared with a list of the shots we were doing. She explained us how to pose which was great because it was our first professional photoshoot and we had no idea how to stand or pose.The pictures came out perfect! We are so glad that we booked her for our pre-wedding shoot. Thanks again Paula!

I reached out to Paula as a part of our search for a new family photographer. She was responsive with the initial outreach, then provided a number of scouting photos at various locations for our consideration. Setting a time was quick and easy. During the photo session, she made me boys feel comfortable and right at ease, especially with a fairly shy 5-year-old who can be uneasy for extended period. She came prepared with locations and poses, knocked off the whole to-do list, and was very amenable to my on-the-spot requests. The photos looked absolutely beautiful. The posed photos look great with the gorgeous backdrops she selected, and the candids really captured the spirit of our family. Cannot recommend Paula enough for any family searching for a photographer. Looking forward to returning in future years. 🙂

Paula was fantastic to deal with from booking to receiving our photos. I’ve used plenty of other family photographers and Paula is the best of the lot.She sent pictures of different locations we could use. Once we arrived at Carburn Park for our pictures, we found that she had put together a list of groupings and photo locations in the park. She styled our photos rather than have us figure out where to stand, what to do with our hands etc. She spent time finding the perfect shot and made our kids feel welcome. Our time with Paula flew by and she made it effortless on our part. We showed up and smiled and she did the rest.Investing in photos with Paula will be something you’ll never regret!

We had the wonderful privilege of meeting Paula for our fall family photo shoot. This was our first time working with her and she was so friendly, approachable and professional. She was incredibly easy to work with and was able to capture so many beautiful and fun shots of our family. We can't thank you enough!!

I am one if those people that didn't love the prospect of having professional photos taken. But Paula makes it so fun. She is super professional and considerate and you'll be amazed how good the photos turn out. Now, I can't wait for any excuse to call her up again! If you are on the fence or not sure, just go with Paula and you'll have a blast!

Paula was fantastic to work with. It was so easy to choose a place to have family photos done, and she had lots of ideas for us when we got there. She was professional and responded to emails quickly. Paula sent great photos to us with a very short turnaround time. This is the second time I have worked with her and I intend on working with her again!

Wow Paula—the photos from our vow renewal are amazing! You truly captured the essence of the day and the love that filled our home and our hearts.

We have just completed our 3rd set of family photos with Paula in 9 years as the family has grown and grown up. Paula is amazing from preparing for the shoot to ensure the various combinations are all covered through to the final product. She is able to make whatever location is chosen work through her ability to be creative and to set up the people in such a way as to produce amazing photos. Providing a full set of all retouched photos in high resolution as part of the package is terrific. We love all of the photos from our recent session as much as the ones from previous years. Paula has helped create beautiful, lasting memories of our family that we can enjoy for many years. Thank you Paula!!

We have used Paula for over 18 years when she first did our engagement photos. Then wedding, babies and lots of family pictures over the years. We just did family pics with my daughters aged 16 and 13 and they had so much fun. She made them feel so comfortable and totally captured their personalities. Paula is so great to work with. She always makes us smile and you almost forget your posing because she's able to make you feel relaxed and comfortable.

We were so happy to have had Paula do our wedding photography! She put 100% into capturing our Canmore wedding. Her hard work and enthusiasm throughout the day captured our wedding perfectly - from getting ready in the morning, to our beautiful formal mountain shots, the unforgettable moments in our ceremony, and the fun in our reception. Paula really captured the joy of the day! Our teaser shots were ready in a couple of days and our wedding gallery was ready for us just a couple of weeks later. We would absolutely recommend Paula - Limelight Photography!

Paula is a fantastic photographer, just incredible. I can’t express how lucky I feel that she was recommended to me and that her schedule was open on the dates of my family reunion in Calgary! She was able to wrangle 4 generations into aesthetic group poses and the results were gorgeous. She had great advice on how to adjust poses and rearrange people during each shot. She was so patient and thoughtful, and super organized and efficient to get all the different combinations of people. She also knows about great photography locations and was able to advise on locations that would work for someone with limited mobility. Her communication was detailed and responsive, and I also can’t believe how quickly she finished editing and sent us the album! We really love photos with vibrant color and her taste and editing style were just perfect for us. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish.

Paula worked with us to capture our family with four generations. She was so great to work with and took amazing photos of us in Fish Creek park. It isn't always easy to capture our infants smiles, but she did a phenomenal job. She utilized many back drop ideas to give us a variety of shots. Thank you Paula!

My duo partner and I had a great time working with Paula for our musician promo shots. She listened to what we wanted and then found us a great venue that perfectly fit the vibe we were going for. We weren't very confident with our posing skills, so we were very relieved when Paula showed up with a list of ideas and directions! Her friendly, take-charge attitude was exactly what we needed, and we're very happy with the end result. Thank you Paula!

Paula is amazing! We had her do our wedding 10.5 years ago and we still love our photos from her. We wanted to do a large extended family photo session this year, so we contacted her and she did another amazing job! We had 14 family members from ages 20 months to 90 years, and she did a great job suggesting an accessible location, engaging with everyone, as well as organizing us all for each photo. We're really pleased with our family photos and will treasure them for years to come. I highly recommend her!

May 2024 Second Review: Wedding shoot this time!I thought our engagement photos were outstanding but Paula knocked it out of the park with our wedding photos. She scouted the location and had fun and fantastic ideas to capture our love, joy, and our personalities. Not only did she capture our formal photos, she captured the whole day from getting ready, the ceremony, and reception - it was like reliving the day - she caught so many details and moments. Paula has a unique ability to capture candid moments and all the fun of the day. Paula made us completely at ease! Our photos are bright and beautiful - it is so hard to choose our favourites. Thank you Paula! I’m already thinking about what our next photo shoot could be!June 2023 First review: Engagement shoot - Paula was amazing to work with. From booking times to meet, picking locations, and scheduling the dates, Paula was organized and very quick to respond. She made us totally at ease and even got a few laughs out of us. She has great ideas for locations and poses. While I thought her teaser photos were great, I was blown away when we received the full set! She captured our happiness and love. The quality is outstanding! Thank you Paula! I can’t wait for our wedding shoot!

Paula at Limelight Photography is absolutely amazing!! Paula is fun, great to work with, open to your ideas and places you would like to go and explore. She also has wonderful ideas and photos of the places she would like to shoot. She has been our photographer for over 12 years giving us the best photos for our engagement, wedding, family sessions and other special moments in life. I highly recommend her and promise you won’t be disappointed. She’s the best!

2nd review.So our actual wedding photos didn’t turn out (different photographer) so we asked Paula to redo them for us close to our first anniversary. WOW! Paula captured EXACTLY what we wanted and didn’t get the first time around. The day was beautiful, the location let us come back and shoot, and the dress still fit! Paula utilized the entire space and the results are amazing! We’re so thrilled with the results and now we have “wall worthy” photos of our day.We honestly cannot thank her enough for capturing these shots!We’ve been engaged for 4 1/2 years and thought it was probably time to get engagement photos done! We wanted something different, and Paula came through with flying colors! Her suggestions were great, and really catered to what we were looking for. We hit the Graffiti Container Park in Sunnyside and then headed over to the East Village. It was a perfect day for pictures, and we had an absolute blast! Paula was so fun to work with, and we have pictures that I don't think anyone else would have been able to capture. Now comes the hard part of picking just a few to have enlarged.We cannot say enough good things about our entire experience with Paula and Limelight Photography. Book her, you won't be disappointed!

We absolutely loved working with Paula! She is so friendly and takes the most stunning photos! We are so lucky to have had her do some pageant photos and they turned out incredible! We also had our wedding photos done by Paula and I can't thank her enough for the incredible memories she captured that day!

We had Family Photos done for my parents Anniversary and had a group of 10 and one crazy doggie :). This can be tough but Paula made the whole experience really enjoyable!! She was very responsive to all my emails ahead of time. On the day of the photos she made all of us feel at ease with her approachable and calm nature. None of us are super comfortable in front of a camera and yet Paula made the whole experience so much less stressful. The pictures are gorgeous and she was very quick to get them back to us. I would definitely recommend her and really appreciated her kind and fun approach to all of it!

Paula Bitner is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. On top of that, she’s a wonderful, artistic, and creative photographer. Paula knows how to bring the best out of everyone, her friendliness and sense of humor put everyone at ease; we had so much fun. We received our pictures a few days ago and couldn’t be happier. Give Paula a call if you need pictures of your wedding, family, your dog, whatever!Thank You Paula

Paula is so responsive, easy to work with and FUN. She is great with everyone involved in the shoot and her work is absolutely stunning. There is a passion and talent in her that pours out throughout the whole session. She is always positive and works very hard to get that perfect picture. Paula did our wedding pictures and a beautiful Fall shoot that took our breath away, she captured the beauty in every pose. I recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer — She is the best!

Paula is a diamond of her craft. We had family portraits taken along with our large Bernese Mountain Dog. Her patience (with the dog), her professionalism, and her sense of humour is unmeasured. I’ve known Paula since our 20’s and being in different cities hasn’t allowed us to use Limelight over the years. An impromptu meeting in Canmore in September triggered a trip to Calgary with my family. I’m so glad we did. She is the best, the photo’s are amazing! Book her today, you won’t regret it. ❤️

Paula was amazing and we love our wedding pictures. There are so many great poses and pictures it's so hard to choose our favourites. We booked Paula because we love family pictures she had done for friends. When we met with her she had some great location ideas just from asking us a few questions. We originally booked her for our Aug.2020 wedding, however, she was so accommodating when we had to move the date many times due to Covid restrictions and finally getting to have our celebration Aug. 2021! On the day she was so organized and kept us all on schedule to get the best and most pictures we could get. She was creative with poses that looked unique, fun and natural! We had so much fun! I would recommend her for any special event you need fantastic photo memories for!

We wanted something different, and Paula came through with flying colors! Her suggestions were great, and really catered to what we were looking for. We hit the Graffiti Container Park in Sunnyside and then headed over to the East Village. It was a perfect day for pictures, and we had an absolute blast! Paula was so fun to work with, and we have pictures that I don't think anyone else would have been able to capture. Now comes the hard part of picking just a few to have enlarged.We cannot say enough good things about our entire experience with Paula and Limelight Photography. Book her, you won't be disappointed!

We absolutely loved working with Paula! She is so friendly and takes the most stunning photos! We are so lucky to have had her do some pageant photos and they turned out incredible! We also had our wedding photos done by Paula and I can't thank her enough for the incredible memories she captured that day!

We had Family Photos done for my parents Anniversary and had a group of 10 and one crazy doggie :). This can be tough but Paula made the whole experience really enjoyable!! She was very responsive to all my emails ahead of time. On the day of the photos she made all of us feel at ease with her approachable and calm nature. None of us are super comfortable in front of a camera and yet Paula made the whole experience so much less stressful. The pictures are gorgeous and she was very quick to get them back to us. I would definitely recommend her and really appreciated her kind and fun approach to all of it!

Paula Bitner is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. On top of that, she’s a wonderful, artistic, and creative photographer. Paula knows how to bring the best out of everyone, her friendliness and sense of humor put everyone at ease; we had so much fun. We received our pictures a few days ago and couldn’t be happier. Give Paula a call if you need pictures of your wedding, family, your dog, whatever!Thank You Paula

Paula is so responsive, easy to work with and FUN. She is great with everyone involved in the shoot and her work is absolutely stunning. There is a passion and talent in her that pours out throughout the whole session. She is always positive and works very hard to get that perfect picture. Paula did our wedding pictures and a beautiful Fall shoot that took our breath away, she captured the beauty in every pose. I recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer — She is the best!

Paula is a diamond of her craft. We had family portraits taken along with our large Bernese Mountain Dog. Her patience (with the dog), her professionalism, and her sense of humour is unmeasured. I’ve known Paula since our 20’s and being in different cities hasn’t allowed us to use Limelight over the years. An impromptu meeting in Canmore in September triggered a trip to Calgary with my family. I’m so glad we did. She is the best, the photo’s are amazing! Book her today, you won’t regret it. ❤️

Paula was amazing and we love our wedding pictures. There are so many great poses and pictures it's so hard to choose our favourites. We booked Paula because we love family pictures she had done for friends. When we met with her she had some great location ideas just from asking us a few questions. We originally booked her for our Aug.2020 wedding, however, she was so accommodating when we had to move the date many times due to Covid restrictions and finally getting to have our celebration Aug. 2021! On the day she was so organized and kept us all on schedule to get the best and most pictures we could get. She was creative with poses that looked unique, fun and natural! We had so much fun! I would recommend her for any special event you need fantastic photo memories for!

She’s a professional

“Paula has done three family photo shoots for us and each has been a complete success. That’s difficult when two of them included our boisterous dog and all of them had very young children and babies involved.  There is never pressure or impatience on Paula’s part, she makes the best of every situation.   

She’s a professional that makes the experience personal. I recommend Limelight Photography for everyone for any photography need.”

Paula is a dream

“Paula is a dream come true!!! We interviewed 5 different photographers for our wedding and she blew us away! She was so organized the day of our wedding and didn’t miss a single shot! She had everything planned out and the locations pre-scoped out so we didn’t waste any time. Our families and wedding parties had nothing but positive things to say about her and her assistant! I still can’t pick a favorite photo out of the 500+ she took. Thank you again Paula for all your hard work! xoxo”

The best decision we made

Words cannot express how blessed we are to have found such a spectacular photographer.  Having you as our photographer was by far the best decision we made during the wedding process.  We constantly get phone calls from friends who want to know who are photographer was.   

Paula, thank you again for all your hard work, enthusiasm, support and most importantly your creativity and good eye for stunning backgrounds and poses!  We look forward to working with you again in the near future!

Fun working with you

“Paula, I just wanted to write you to tell you how much we truly LOVE the photos you took of our family and our 3 and 2 month old baby, Logan. Our little boy is growing and changing so fast, but you managed to really capture all of his expressions, and laughter in such artistic shots.

It was almost impossible to pick out a favorite from the many different shots you took. You are a very talented photographer, we had a lot of fun working with you and this is reflected in the beautiful photos of Logan that we will treasure forever. Thank you again.”
