Dave’s mom had labeled all the little things that she wrapped up for them! Many of the things were from Dave’s childhood!
#DADLIFE!!!
She really loved all the elephants!!
This wasn’t everybody – but I wanted to grab a quick group shot so Courtney could look back on this moment!!
Courtney & Dave – I am so thankful that our paths crossed & I could pray for you on this journey!!
My heart cannot contain the excitement I have for you all!!
I met Dave & Courtney several years ago – I’ve lost count of how many – and immediately started praying for a baby!
It’ s been emotional. It’s been a long time waiting. Now – they’re little one is due SOON!!
These might be the BEST cupcakes I’ve EVER had in my life!!
I’ve got more to show you!!
The winner of 2021 BEAUTIFUL is
HELEEN & SEAN!!
Heleen’s sister said – “She is kind and funny and loving. She has a giving heart and loves those around her effortlessly.”
I can’t say this enough – MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU!!
Thank you SO MUCH for your submissions this year!!!
BARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY – BEAUTIFUL
In 2010 – I started a a new program: BEAUTIFUL!!
I quit my job as a secretary to pursue photography FULL-TIME in 2009!
During 2009 & 2010 – photography was certainly my FULL-TIME business!!
Then Fitzy was born in 2011 & Enoch in 2013 and raising babies became my FULL-TIME business and photography took a little bit of a back seat.
The boys are older now and I feel like I won’t be missing out on ALL the things by diving back into photography on a more full-time basis!
2020 was a CRAZY year BUT I did get to photograph SO MANY OF YOU!!
I am hoping I get to see even more beautiful faces & help tell more beautiful stories this year!!

The cutest little marshmallow you’ve ever seen!!
Hannah – thank you SO MUCH for asking me into your lives! I can’t wait to see you again!!
GAH!!! SO CUTE!
I ADORE THAT SHOT!!
ADORABLE!
Hannah had asked me how I felt about a snow-baby shoot!!
The day we scheduled was COLD – so we watched the weather and rescheduled for a mild February afternoon!
It started to rain when I pulled in their driveway and then it stopped JUST IN TIME!
The sweetest little girl!!
I met Hannah and her husband late in the summer – for maternity photos!
I haven’t seen them since their newborn session – but their little one is 6 months old already!
SHE IS THE SWEETEST!!
PERFECTION!!
That sweet smile!!
I’ve got lots more to show you!!
I spent a few minutes before my mini senior session taking a few shots of the GORGEOUS snowfall!
Do you love winter!?
I do NOT! But it IS gorgeous!!
SWOON!!
Sierra recently learned to play the piano – so I grabbed a few shots – and they’re my FAVORITE!!
I ADORE those shots!!
Jose had REALLY wanted snowy photos – BUT – the cold is AWFUL!!
Thankfully it was mild enough that we could grab a few shots outside!!
Sierra & Jose – I am SO thankful for you in our lives!!
THANK YOU for asking me to give you more memories!! I appreciate you more than you know!!
The pictures on their wall are pictures I took last summer. A picture of a picture.
It warms my heart to walk into people’s homes and see the photos I took on their walls!
I absolutely ADORE that shot!! The reflections – his little fingers on that game piece – the concentration – EVERYTHING!
I love that shot too! Sierra is SO gorgeous – and look at the way Jose is looking at her!
Max – he was NOT ready for a close-up!
Felicia – she wasn’t ready either!!
They spend their Friday nights watching a movie together – so we recreated that for the afternoon!
ONE MORE POST!
