About Me - Barrie Jane

Hi there! I’m Barrie Jane and I’m so glad you found me. If you are here, it means you have most likely connected with my work in some way and I am  grateful for that. So thank you!

Family photography is my true passion. I see beauty in the chaos of everyday life. Being able to tell your family’s unique story and capture  authentic moments and interactions is what it is all about for me. 

I am a mother to a delightfully spunky daughter and 3 sweet and energetic sons. These 4, along with my amazing husband, keep me busy, inspired, and are truly the biggest driving force behind why I do what I do everyday. Before becoming a photographer full time, I was an insurance agent for many years, also working in restaurants and a casino. Working with children and playing a part in shaping their little lives is incredibly rewarding. However, I  began to feel an undeniable pull towards a more creative path (my cricut and I had to take the break) that allowed me to be more authentically me. Which eventually lead me here!

My husband purchased my first Digital SLR camera for me as a gift about 10 years ago. From that moment on, I have been documenting my own  children and our crazy, messy, wonderful life! I love the creative outlet that this gives me and truly love creating art from our family stories. 

I love all things coffee, wine and chocolate. Even better if I can find a way to combine any of them. We will one day find a way to live near the ocean, but for now traveling anywhere near water will do the trick. We are an adventurous family and love to explore new places and hang outdoors. Hiking, sledding, bowling, biking and swimming are just a few of our favorites. I grew up in BC and call Alberta my home  now. I love listening to all types of music, and may have a tiny obsession with Adam Levine (not Maroon 5, just Adam).

Every family has a story. I would be honored to tell your story through the art of photographs. Connect with me on Instagram or Facebook Barrie Jane Photography and send me a message to let me know a little more about you! Let’s chat about scheduling your family’s session.
