Deborah has the unique ability to capture the beauty of the animal and the surroundings in each piece.
Most important and what really seperates her from any other artist, is her abillity to
capture the love any pet owner feels for their pet.
It is that bond and warmth she captures that will continue to make us use her great skill in the future.
Thanks Deborah

I met Deb Barnes when i did my first horse photography shoot with her in the summer.
It was on White Rock beach with my horse, myself and my friend.
Deb made everything so soothing and easy going with no stress.
It was a beautiful and fun experience.
 She made it so simple and let us do as we please and she just snapped away.
After that shoot we were dying to do more!
 
We went back once again in the summer with our horses and Deb and once again - A breeze!

I recommend Deb to anyone wanting horse photographs or pet pictures in general.
 
I have become good friends with Deb Barnes after these beautiful and amazing experiences.
I love photography myself and was in dire need of finding the perfect camera. 
Took weeks of searching and messaging back and forth but with debs amazing knowledge of cameras and photos she was able to help me find the one I love
Not only is Deborah Barnes a pet photographer to me but an amazing friend with a beautiful eye.
It is a blessing knowing her !

Deb, the pictures are absolutely stunning.
You really captured the peaceful paddock and the mom and foal relationship.
It has been a pleasure to get to know you, and to now see your work.
 
We will refer you to as many of our folks as we possibly can.

Again, thank you Deb.

"Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."
Thank-you for the amazing puppy pictures - they were a special Christmas gift to my daughter.
So good... I had to have a few for myself.

Ozzy may have been a 130lbs.
Brindle Bull Mastiff but he was our “Gentle Giant.”

He loved his walks on the beach and lying on his chair by the fireplace or in the sun. He may have looked intimidating, but the worst he would have done is drool on you. It did not matter if you knew him for 5 min or 5 years, he welcomed everyone he met.
Ozzy was a very loving, devoted, kind companion for seven years.

On December 26, 2009, my family and I took Ozzy to the beach for a walk. We met Deb that day and she took some beautiful pictures of our boy. What she did not know was that the next day we said goodbye to Ozzy as he had been suffering from an aggressive bone cancer for 3 months. He lived the life of a King for those three months.

Ozzy will live on forever, in our hearts and in our dreams.

Thank you Deb for taking such moving pictures of Ozzy on that special day.








Elizabeth Henderson, White Rock. B.C.

I've always wanted some super fabulous pet photos done of me and my
best friend Jersey (aka Booberz, JackAss, Puppy Shmuppy Luppyhead).

It's all fine and dandy for Him to get in front of the camera, He KNOWS he's all that!
A little different to put Me there!  So I was a little nervous about how the photos would turn out.

OMG!  when I got them back , I couldn't believe how beautiful Jerz and I looked together!

The shoot was fun and hard work at the same time. 
We shot at a few different locations so there would be lots of looks to choose from. 

The results?  Magic!

Deborah Barnes is an amazing Pet Photographer
She has a really good eye for making people look fantastic as well!

We first met Deborah on the East beach of White Rock.

It was our pleasure to learn that she has a unique ability to photograph and capture the
the intimate moments between horse and rider.

Deb has become a regular fixture at all our beach rides and shows.

She brings a natural and organic approach to her work that
makes it easy for our riders to focus on their riding.
They trust that Deborah will take amazing photos of them -
we are always eager to get that email telling us they are online!

I’ve also used Deborah for her services as a pet portrait photographer.
My friend’s best friend, (a Rottweiller named Gucci) was aging and not doing well.
I had Deb over to surreptitiously take some beautiful photographs as a surprise gift.
 Gucci passed away not long after - it was such a wonderful gift to give.

I would highly recommend Deborah Barnes to anyone who would like professional and natural, fine art photographs taken of their pet, or horse.  (humans too!)

Since I was very little I have had a love affair with horses.

My dream was to one day ride on a beach. (Which was a bit of a problem as I lived in Banff!)
I now have a daughter who SURPRISE has a big love for horses too!

We met Deborah Barnes at East Beach in White Rock,
fearlessly taking these amazing shots of the horses racing along the beach.

When I saw the pictures I was moved to tears.

There running on the beach with her friends was our daughter, absolute JOY on her face, water splashing up everywhere…her friends laughing, I felt like I was there.

I felt ''like I could step'' into the picture!

Deborah's pictures leave you '' wanting more''.
She truly captured both the rider & horse’s Spirits.

THANK YOU DEBORAH for taking the images that showcase ''both'' of our dreams coming true.

Our home now boasts SEVERAL of Deborah Barnes’ fine art photography… and Yes! I want more Still!!
Everyone should have at the very least 1 of this amazing horse photographer’s pictures !!
