Adorable.

2011-11-08T19:51:00.000-08:00

Adorable Family these Hilberts are. And busy too - with Little Miss A. at 16 months and Little Cohen at 3 months. I miss them. They are in Calgary for a few months, and they BETTER come home in a few months!

Nothing better

2011-11-08T19:40:00.000-08:00

Nothing is better than Great Friends.

The kind that you would do anything for and vice versa. The kind of friends that you can laugh with and cry with. And better yet, the kind of friends that have kids to keep your kid(s) company so you can actually have some what of an adult conversation.

WE love you guys. XO

They will!!

2011-11-08T19:20:00.000-08:00

A. and M. will be tying the knot. We had a super evening and great locations. Thanks M. for being such a great sport.

Thankful

2011-11-08T19:11:00.000-08:00

Easy. Peasy. Beautiful.

A quick, easy, beautiful photoshoot on Thanksgiving Sunday. Such and incredible day and beautiful family.

Be Thankful. Always.

Such Sweetness.

2011-11-08T18:58:00.000-08:00

And Baby R. Make THREE!!

Congrats to B., K., and their little bundle of Sweetness!

Look at these BABY BLUES

2011-09-29T21:22:00.000-07:00

Just a couple of updated photos of my Adorable Son. Logan totally rocks our world and it's never a dull moment in our house with this little monster. I feel like the Grinch with my heart growing 3 Sizes each time I look at him. And when he Squeezes and Smooche's me, my heart turns to mush. I can't even explain when I hear 'wove you' or when he screeches 'mommy' when he sees me at the end of my work day. Motherhood is quite the roller coaster, but am I ever glad I hopped on.

Wittle Wizzie

2011-09-29T20:41:00.000-07:00

Little Lizzie is ONE-derful! The only little girl along side my Amazing Son and Awesome nephews - there's just something about her beautiful little face and tiny little toes. Happy First Birthday Elizabeth! XO

Little Mr. W and Mom

2011-09-21T19:22:00.000-07:00

What a little cutie I got to capture. It didn't matter how hot it was outside, It took a little bit for Mr. W to 'warm' up for the camera. But once he did, this shoot was a blast. Mom had to 'sneak' into some photos, as most of us Mom's do, she was slowly disappearing from family photos. It was so great to see L with her little man. I hope we can have a playdate soon!

Tutu Princess

2011-04-28T05:05:00.000-07:00

I have been so excited to do a 'tutu shoot' - and I finally did one.

There is just something pretty sweet about a little beauty in a tutu.

Miss A was a treat to photograph.

"I'm gonna MASH it"!

2011-04-04T20:20:00.000-07:00

S: "What's Amanda going to bring you honey"?

G: "my CAKE"

S: "What are you going to do to it"

G: "MASH IT - (insert laugh here)"

Mr. G was SUPER DUPER excited to say the least about me bringing him his very own MASH Cake. It was so awesome to see such excitement and happiness all over his face. Happy Birthday little Buddy!

Beautiful Tessa

2011-03-18T11:24:00.000-07:00

We FINALLY got to meet Sweet Little Tessa.

Julie, Dan, Ella, and Tessa came to visit us last weekend for a long over due visit.

It was great to just hang out all weekend with our families,

sharing great laughs and making memories.

Enjoy our Mini Tessa 'Shoot':

Little Miss M.

2011-01-05T17:56:00.000-08:00

Here is Little Miss M. She is one sweet little babe. Even her little whimpering cries are super cute. Proud Parents Jenn and Steve(one blog down), Big Brother Haiden, and Big Sister Peyton welcomed thier little Bundle on December 26, 2010. Jenn was determined not to have a Christmas Baby, I guess the day after is close enough. I love all of you so much.

Jenn, Steve, and Baby Belly #2

2011-01-03T20:22:00.000-08:00

Baby Belly and a Pumpkin Farm - what a great Morning for this shoot back in October. WE actually 'hopped' a 'fence' to get to this spot since it wasn't open yet, and am I ever glad we did. This place provided a perfect backdrop to another beautiful Idzik Baby Belly. Jenn and Steve, I love you and thank you for all of your business! You guys rock!

Rowan is TWO!!

2011-01-03T20:14:00.000-08:00

This is my little Buddy Rowan. He turned 2 in September (yes, I'm just posting these now).

Final Fam Jam of 2010

2011-01-03T19:57:00.000-08:00

Welcome to my final photo session of 2010. Monday, December 27th was a bitterly cold, but fresh and sunny day. We started this shoot inside, but got the best shots when we bundled up and headed to the backyard!

Family Fun

2010-10-24T15:22:00.000-07:00

This family is super F-U-N!!! After a rain delay for these family photos, this morning finally worked out and am I glad it did. Meet the Haak family!

O-Livia!!

2010-09-30T06:10:00.000-07:00

Well, we were quickly reminded with this shoot that we're not left with much daylight after dinner. But we managed to get some great shots of Olivia and she was a great sport, and the lighting was ideal for most shots. We even managed to stop for some delicious Hot Chocolate on the way. Thanks Olivia - hope you love them!

THE Cutest FAMILY!!!

2010-09-14T19:38:00.000-07:00

Well, the last time I photographed this ADORABLE family, this little dude was only 2 weeks *sigh* old. It amazes me how fast and how much all of these little babes in my life change in just a short amount of time. Thanks for the fun, laid back shoot.

Mr. and Mrs. Idzik

2010-09-12T20:49:00.000-07:00

Blake is the Man!

2010-08-31T21:42:00.000-07:00

This little guy was so much fun to shoot! Blake has so much energy and is too cute to boot!

For the Love of Logan

2010-08-31T21:31:00.000-07:00

Here are some recent shots of our Awesome Little Dude, I can't believe how much I love this little guy!

W, P, and A squared

2010-08-31T20:45:00.000-07:00

It is so great taking photos of amazing families. W used to walk me home from school when we were in public school now she's married with 2 blonde beauties, I'd say P is one lucky guy!

Idziks part 2

2010-08-31T20:40:00.001-07:00

This Shoot was all about the H man - Haiden, you are too cute buddy!

Here are a few photos over the past few weeks:

Our Little Family

My very own bundle of Love.....

2010-03-05T05:12:00.000-08:00

Well, here he is, Logan James Barber.

Our little guy made his appearance on Monday, February 8, 2010 at Grand River Hospital.

Things started rolling around 2:15am on the 8th....and continued until about 12:30pm when they decided that I was to have a C-Section. The Laboring process was an experience and I enjoyed every minute of that experience, but was a little disappointed when I was headed off to the O R. The only great thing about having to have a c-section is knowing in a few short minutes (more like 20 mins or so) is that you'll get to see and meet that little baby that you've waited to meet for the past 9 months. So here are 2 announcements that I had made, I just couldn't decide which one I loved more.

2010-02-05T04:13:00.000-08:00

This post is a little late. Jenn and Steve had thier little bundle; Peyton, back on November 3rd and we did this mini-maternity shoot in October 2009. I will also be shooting Jenn and Steve's wedding in September so stay tuned for those photos as well.

Christmas Oh Nine

Some snapshots from Christmas in Sauble.

Baby Love

2010-01-16T06:12:00.000-08:00

WEll, this photo shoot was supposed to be to capture Lyndsy's Pregnancy and her beautiful Baby Bump....but this little dude came in to the world a month early. It was a pleasure meeting little Wyatt and capturing Brad and Lyndsy as new parents. We will be doing another shoot early spring/summer, it will be awesome to see the changes in the new addition.

And new baby makes.....FOUR

2010-01-16T06:00:00.000-08:00

No doubt about it, this is one very adorable, BUT very BUSY little family. Adrian will be 2 and Finley was born in November. I am very proud of January and John and the family that they are raising and for the friends that they are. I love you all so much.

Engagement Photos for Jessica and Jason

2009-11-09T16:48:00.000-08:00

Jessica and Jason couldn't have picked a better day to do thier Engagement photos. Waterloo Park was buzzing with tons of people enjoying one of the last beautiful days of fall. Wowza, just look at Jessica's ring - it's fabulous. Thanks for a fun photo shoot.

Sylvia, Craiger, Madysen, and Rowan

2009-11-07T18:59:00.000-08:00

Turned out to be the BEST morning for a photoshoot for the Brown family. The last time I photographed the Brown's Sylvia was pregnant with Rowan - now he's just over a year and cuter than ever. And Madysen, well she's just a little natural.

McWade - Thomas family photo shoot

2009-10-13T18:39:00.000-07:00

Just a few shots from the Stark's 1st family photo shoot. Buddy (the dog) even had to be apart of a picture or two. Thank you to Tamara and Aaron for allowing me to to do your photos - and to the world- meet Damien!

Mr. and Mrs. Thompson ~ September 10, 2009

2009-10-13T17:43:00.000-07:00

Oakley - Jeles Wedding

2009-09-10T08:59:00.000-07:00

Here is a sneak peak of Annie and Levi's Wedding ~ Aug. 22. 09.

We had lots of weather to deal with on this day, but the sun came out for the ceremony.

Thanks Annie and Levi for including me in your special day.

Annie + Levi

2009-07-22T19:59:00.001-07:00

We managed to dodge the rain for Annie and Levi's Engagement Photo shoot. This couple was trying to convince me that they do not like photos of themselves, so I hope I did not disappoint. Annie's red fiery hair looks amazing in these photos and neither of them are as unphotogenic as they think they are. Annie and Levi will be getting Married in August so stay tuned for their Wedding Photos next month.

Honeymoon anyone????

2009-07-21T05:25:00.000-07:00

I also want to wish my Husband a very Happy Wedding Anniversary today.

Love you. XOXOXO

Amy and Kelly's Wedding

2009-07-21T05:19:00.001-07:00

I had a hard time picking which photos to select to share on the blog, so here are more than a few to peak at. Amy and Kelly are so adorable - almost impossible to get a bad shot of these two. Please feel free to leave comments and let me know what you think (as this was my first wedding shoot).

1st Time....

2009-07-17T08:33:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is a BIG day for myself with Amanda Barber Photography.

I am shooting my first ever wedding!!!

The wedding will be up in Lion's Head and we are all (myself, and the Bride and Groom) hoping for good weather (fingers crossed).

I will post a few pictures on here probably next week and

feed back for all postings are always welcome.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers!

The Roosters Perch Antiques

2009-06-07T20:06:00.000-07:00

I have wanted to stop at this Antique store for the past 4 years. The Roosters Perch Antiques is located in Clifford, a very tiny cute little town. One Friday I was taking my time driving up to Wildwood Lodge and thought that I would stop and take a peak. I was so glad that I did, I spent about an hour in there lost in my own little camera world.

My New Treasure

Meet Baby Bronwyn

2009-05-01T04:06:00.000-07:00

This is Bronwyn. I did these photos back at the beginning of March, but just got to posting them now. This little bundle is so adorable. Enjoy.

WIth the Dudes

2009-04-23T06:54:00.000-07:00

These are the dudes....well, there is a girl in one photo, but she was making a guest appearance. Aaron Berta (hat) and Corey Adams are AMAZING acoustic guitar players. I fell in love after just a few strums. They normally play at David's Double Olive in Port Stanley and have a Fan Page on Facebook: With the Dudes - look them up and keep track of up coming shows.

Just what I need today....mmm.

2009-04-23T06:50:00.000-07:00

I would love to have a nice hot latte right about now. mmm, so warm and delicious.

There's just something about a door.

2009-04-23T06:39:00.000-07:00

I don't know what it is about a (cool) door that I love so much. The big red double doors at the bottom of this post kinda got me started on cool door searches. Maybe it's the mystery of what's behind the door, or how it just adds some great personality...who knows.

Elmira, this is where I work.

2009-04-23T05:10:00.000-07:00

So, since the weather has been a little nicer, I've been getting outside on my lunch hour to walk around Elmira instead of staying in the lunch room at work. I walk with my camera most days and get caught up in this cute little town.

This is a Horse Bowl - I've never seen one of these before.

Little Miss Ella

2009-04-23T04:44:00.001-07:00

Everyone, this is Little Miss Ella (and her Mom - Cousin Julie). We haven't seen Ella since she was just over 2 months old, and now she is 9 months old. Ella is such a cute little girl who loves to ham it up. What a great little personality. We couldn't resist dressing her up in her little tutu and flower petal headband.....I don't think that she'll be too mad when she gets older - they are just too darn cute.

The two cutest little dudes.

2009-04-21T15:36:00.000-07:00

Ahh Sam and Jack. I love our nephews and boy do they have A LOT of energy. It's so much fun being an Auntie, I wouldn't change it for the world.

Keeper of the keys

2009-04-02T06:24:00.000-07:00

Who better to keep my keys than the Jedi Master. This one is for you baby.

Pretty Pots

2009-03-19T07:55:00.000-07:00

These pots are all at Belgian Nursery (just as the flowers a few blogs down) - I think it's one of my new favorite places.

I've already shared with so many people how AWESOME that nursery is.

Sweet Spring

2009-03-19T07:45:00.000-07:00

I am now in love with fat sheep. They are so cute.

Amongst the sheep, were some other signs of Spring.

I seen a few Robins yesterday.....I am also in love with Robins.

A little colour made me very happy

2009-03-19T07:29:00.000-07:00

I was out and about taking photos and everything was rather dull - brown grass, mud, and grey skies. I was in desperate need of some colour. So as I was drving back from Guelph to Kitchener, I stopped in at Belgian Nursery and spent some time in with the colourful flowers, sweet smells, and warmth of the greenhouses. Come on spring, I think that we're all ready.

Some Black and White shots

2009-03-01T16:51:00.000-08:00

I've never really played too much with making landscapes into Black and Whites.

I LOVE the look.

Winter Wonderland

2009-03-01T16:44:00.000-08:00

It was SO cold the morning that I took these photos up at Wildwood Lodge.

There was so much frost that when the sun came out, everything seemed to sparkle.

It was so beautiful, like a winter wonderland.

Winter Sunsets at Wildwood Lodge

2009-03-01T16:33:00.000-08:00

2009-02-27T20:37:00.000-08:00

Thing 1 and Thing 2

We have THE cutest nephews on the planet.

Sam and Jack are so much fun.

I think it's hilarious when Sam asks his mom and me

to stop taking pictures.....lol

Adrian Thomas Soden in ONE!!!!

2009-02-27T20:19:00.000-08:00

Little ATS is ONE....

Adrian is the son of my dear friends, January and John. Adrian is a fantastic little boy who is so blessed to have such amazing parents and they are so lucky to have him in thier lives.

Adrian was a little sick that day, but eventually had a good time. Little Rhys Mabee had fun with the balloons and bouncing all over the place. Such a sweet little boy.

Ahh Family Day

All Because Two People Fell in Love

Snowy weekend

2009-01-12T20:54:00.000-08:00

Well, another weekend has come and gone. It was a good one though. I spent Friday with good friends and my friend Tanya (pictured below in blue scarf) came from London. We drove around and found some cool places to take photos. Then on Sunday, I went for a walk up in Waterloo Park and enjoyed the fresh snow and the much needed sunshine. Of course, I had my camera with me all weekend. Once again, here is life, as I see it.

2008-09-08T17:17:00.001-07:00

I love to photograph children. Not only is it fun but it is also a challenge. The trick is to let kids be kids, that's when the best moments happen.

The Clinch Wedding

2008-09-01T17:29:00.000-07:00

As I was a Bridesmaid in this wedding, I wasn't able to capture as many moments as I wanted, but I did manage to capture a few. Congratulations to Marie and Darryl.

My Obsession

2008-08-19T16:40:00.000-07:00

Well, for those who know me, know that not very often do I go anywhere without my camera. I have had a few different makes and models of digital cameras over the past few years. But like most everyone, I started my obsession with a good old 35mm camera. I even remember getting black and white film and having a friend buy coloured film (promising that we would get doubles to swap), that way we could get some great pictures in both B&W and colour. It was such a great idea. Now you can do all of that with a touch of a button. Like I said, never going anywhere without my camera, I have annoyed some people. Sitting at a family campfire a few years ago, I brought out my camera then someone said " Oh here she goes with that annoying camera" - believe it or not I put the camera away for a little bit - but not for long. I still get the odd look of annoyance and sighs when I bring out the camera and start snapping away, but I can't help it. I love to capture life moments and be able to have the photo's to remember those moments. We all have to live, laugh, and remember.
