Merry Christmas 2009

As my kids are all tucked in their beds and the tree is twinkling with the lights, Santa is filling the last stocking and away he will fly. I wanted to take this time to wish all my friends, new and old a wonderfully Merry Christmas and the most gracious of New Years! ♥

The Quilala Family

From Quilala Family

This happens to be one of my favourite families and they are my biggest fans ♥ We have known each other for a long time! If you look back through my images there are Engagement pictures, Wedding pictures, maternity pictures and baby pictures :) There are also headshots as both these two parents are amazing singers and entertainers http://www.bernardquilala.com - Here are their FAMILY pictures ♥ Grayson is one year old already!

Fall Family Fun

Ok so this beautiful family is my sister-in-law from Calgary! They met us at Pine Lake one afternoon for this fall family session. Lots of beautiful locations - I took a ton of pictures ;) I had to narrow it down for the slideshow, trust me, it was hard to choose!!!

Happy Halloween!

So I was freezing my but-off yesterday photographing mobile homes for Pleasant Homes in Morinville - BTW these are BEAUTIFUL homes certainly not like the "trailers" I remember when I was a girl, long... long... long time ago! I have never traveled out that way and after a day of photographing the homes in the lot I was lead down some very nice country roads to a nice new Pleasant Home for it's photo session. I couldn't help but notice across the road an old house perched up on a hill. With all the mist in the air from earlier in the day and Halloween coming up, this is what this old house looked like to me. I soooo LOVE our Alberta landscape - If this house could talk I wonder what stories it would tell!

Such Sweetness!

Even though I am behind in quite a few posts I couldn't help but post this one -
Awwwww! Such a little one, Paige is 10 days old! I had the pleasure of rocking her to sleep in my arms... though it did take awhile, I didn't mind. Thanks so much Candace for letting me :)

Fall Family Session

Fall lighting is the best! This is my absolute favorite time of the year and it is even better when photographing a "make-you-smile" kind of family like the beautiful Soroka Family! You guys are awesome thanks so much for freezing your feet for me! ;)

Baby Gavyn's Journey

I had the pleasure this past year of photographing a family awaiting the birth of their newest member as well his birth and his first pictures! How beautiful this time in life is. As I photographed these images I was surprised at my own feelings of wanting to take this journey one more time! I see amazing love in this family and it was truly an honour to capture it. Thank you Natasha and Ryan!

A Mother's Strength, Love and Joy

A few weeks ago we went to Calgary and I visited a LONG TIME friend (we journeyed the school years together, from grade 3 through to high school) After a few hours of reaquainting ourselves and catching up on 20 years+ of life I had the great honour of photographing her and her beautiful son! I witnessed amazing love, trust and faith!

New Event for August

Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends - and hardly ever our own grown children. ~Ruth Goode

I have very fond memories of my grandparents, and feel that my children are already developing happy memories of days spent with their Grandma and Grandpa and Grannie and Papa!

"Grandparents hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts forever." ~Author Unknown

It seems only logical that we follow up the Mommy and Me and Daddy and Me with a Special session for the Grandparents. I wasn't keen on titling it "Grandparents and Me" (a little redundant)and am somewhat "stuck" as to what it should be called, maybe just "For the Love of My Grandparents"

August 22, 2009 is our official date. For bookings and information contact Barbara at barbaraheintzman@shaw.ca

Me and My Pet Event, July 18, 2009

For details call me, Barbara :D at 780-465-4521 or email me at barbaraheintzman@shaw.ca.

Can't wait to see all those pets!!!! I miss my dog :(

Me and My Pet Event July 18, 2009

Mommy's and babies and babies to come

Well, we have been so busy alas I am so behind! (well was I really ever caught up?) I'm still not used to blogging everything as it happens and we have had some AMAZING sessions from the Mommy and Me to some beautiful maternity images... sigh :) well this is me trying to catch up in my posting :)

This is Alexis Rose (LOVE LOVE LOVE this name) You might say she is somewhat of a late-comer... 11 days overdue! Mommy worked really hard to put this little girl to sleep for our transformer playdate/session (we have boys too!) Once she was asleep though.... awww!

Father's Day

Well, we can't only have pictures of me and the kids :)

We have been so busy but we did find some time to scout new locations and we ended up taking some great pictures of Brad and the kids!

We also took some really sweet ones in the studio too

Mother's Day

May is for Mother's! Didn't you know? I had a wonderful weekend! The Mommy & Me sessions were sooo much fun! I will say it again, BOYS MAKE ME LAUGH!
Then there are little girls. Little girls are sweet and you just want to squeeze them they are so adorable!
I absolutely LOVE my job!
I know there are some mom's who can't wait for their pictures. Here is a sneak peek. I am doing my best to have them all proofed and finished so be patient I'm just about there.

I love the seasons! When they come AND when they go. I enjoyed winter but I am looking forward to spring and all the blossoms of my trees. I pulled these two images from last years spring"album"

It was a beautiful fall day, a perfect day to spend with perfect friends!

Our Beagle Lucy

My Beagle Lucy has lived a long life. She has probably given birth to many puppies as we got her when the breeding kennel she belonged to retired her. She is the sweetest beagle you will ever meet. She is shy and she doesn't really play. When it came to my babies she knew what she was to do. She never leaves my side and I believe my first born Samuel and her share a special bond. Here are some pictures I took this past autumn with the kids and Lucy in a field by our house.

Christine and Cory

I had the great pleasure in photographing a young couple celebrating their engagement. With Valentine's day approaching I thought I would post a few of their images.

Ethan's new brother Liam

During christmas I had the great pleasure of photographing Ethan and his new brother Liam. Ethan is just about 4 and full of grins and giggles! LOVE him to pieces he is so much fun to photograph. Liam is a beautiful baby and already you can tell that he will giggle and grin just like his brother, but for now there is nothing more adorable then a sleeping baby! Congratulations Ethan on your new baby brother, take care of him and teach him how to giggle and grin!
