Fun facts about carla

I lived in the Tampa/St. Pete area of Florida for 12 years. Eckerd College drew me to the Gulf Coast, my love for the beautiful beaches kept me in paradise. I’ve been back in my home town of Chicago since 2013, but always welcome a reason to spend time in Florida.
Guilty pleasure: True crime documentaries and podcasts, my hubby loves to play this SLN skit for me {HERE}

Favorite me time - my mani & pedi at Magnifique Nail Salon on North Ave. in Old Town. Fenny is THE BEST, she keeps my nails ceremony ready and picture perfect!
Free time: Getting a chance to make memories with the people I love.
Way I like to give back: Some might call me a crazy cat lady, but I am just passionate about saving the lives of cats. Cat rescue and fostering are important to me.

Best part of what I do: The meaningful authentic moments that happen during a ceremony. Sometimes I’m overwhelmed with the enormity of the little things and get choked up with you. I always have a moment standing with my couple humbled to be doing what I love, in such a sacred space. It’s really more of a joy than a job.
Getting dressed up to stand along side you makes my job even more fun!

Behind the Scenes: Life with Tiny Toe Beans

When I’m not dressed up and standing beside couples on one of the most meaningful days of their lives, you can often find me in yoga pants on the floor with a bottle in one hand and a kitten in the other.

I’ve been called a cat whisperer… a foster mom extraordinaire… and yes, a crazy cat lady—but I wear that title with pride. Fostering kittens has become one of the most unexpectedly beautiful parts of my life. It’s a way I give love, save lives, and (let’s be honest) always have the cutest coworkers.

This photo, captured during a branding shoot with the amazing Lisa Kathan, is a glimpse into my everyday chaos: wrangling Uni, Dua (soon to be Bindi), and Trayce (soon to be Kora) while trying to smile for the camera. It’s a chaotic symphony of fluff and love—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Just like the ceremonies I create through Forever Incredible, fostering is a reminder of the power of connection. Whether it’s a tiny kitten finding their forever home or a couple choosing each other forever, I believe love—when nurtured with care—can change everything.. If you sell something, use this space to describe it in detail and tell us why we should make a purchase. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this.
