Heather Getzlaf Photography

I’m Heather, a photographer with over 15 years of experience based in Mahogany, SE Calgary. I specialize in capturing authentic, beautiful moments through bo***ir, wedding, engagement, baby, family, child photography, and creative photo manipulation artwork. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, embracing your family’s story, or looking for bold, artistic imagery, I’d love to bring your vision t

o life. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m chasing my kids, spending time with my three dogs, sewing, crafting, or sipping on (way too much) coffee! I offer sessions on-location or in the comfort of your own home, wherever you feel most at ease. I’ll travel throughout Calgary and the surrounding areas to make sure your photoshoot is exactly what you want. Plus, I offer free consultations over a coffee—my treat! Let’s chat about how we can create something amazing together.

What an honour to photograph this gorgeous grad as she celebrates both her graduation and her 18th birthday 🎓💫
She wanted timeless portraits in her beautiful dress, and her boyfriend popped in for a few adorable shots too.
Such a special moment to capture.

Lindsay and her three beautiful horses — Lion, Katie, and Sam — completely stole my heart during this session 🐴💛
We even had the sweetest little farm kitty join in!
As an animal lover myself, I know how meaningful it is to have professional photos of the pets who are truly part of the family. I’m so glad I got to capture these moments for her.

Such a wonderful change of pace photographing this beautiful family — with teenagers! Their kids are 18 and 14, and I’ll admit… I was genuinely excited to capture a family with older kiddos for once 🥰
So much personality, connection, and effortless smiles.
