I’ve been taking photos for Stephanie & her family for over 10 years!!

Those sweet moments with her littlest. The baby.

Enoch graduated KINDERGARTEN this year!

At first we thought that only Jared & I would be able to attend but then we found out that he could bring 10 guests!!

He read a story about a wet goat!

He counted to 100 by 5′s!

He did a report on bees & where they live & how they sleep & what they eat!

He told his teacher a secret – but he doesn’t whisper very well!!

Mom-mom & Bacca came!! Pa & GG came!!

His teachers – they ARE amazing women! And Mara came too!

BARDEN BROTHERS!!

Enoch. Your name means dedicated. And you are VERY dedicated. You are a ball of energy. You ask ALL the questions. You help. You feel all the feelings.

I’ve loved watching you grow and change this year!!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

My brother and sister made a quick trip home over Memorial Day weekend!

When the 5 grandkids are together – we HAVE to get an updated picture!!

I’ve been taking photos of the *P* family for 10 years!

It is such a great honor & joy to take your wedding photos and then capture your family as it grows over the years!

Those two little boys – they were prayed for.

I was able to take newborn photos of the little guy in the background – but his little brother was born during the quarantine this year – so we had to wait until he was 6 weeks old!

LITTLE BABY HANDS!!!

TINY BABY HUGS!!! I love that one!

He wasn’t too sure of me a first – but I won him over!
