This is my third time taking pictures with Rachel! I love lifelong clients! And I especially love Rachel!

Her little girl *S* has the best little pouty lips in the WORLD!

Isn’t she beautiful!

She is so cute! I hardly ever get a smile out of her – but this time she gave me a few!

She is so sweet and photogenic!

Thank you so much Rachel – I love being able to watch your little girl grow!

I met Brittany on FACEBOOK and through several of my clients! We set up a session with her little guy – *P* – at the beginning of March!

It’s crazy how we think that 38 degrees is a heat wave – but it was the perfect day to get some outside shots of the whole family!

What a beautiful family!

He is such a handsome little guy!

I love those shots!

And just how ridiculous is this series! Those toes and those chubby cheeks!

He was not thrilled about becoming an angel for us – but he warmed up to the idea!

Brittany – thank you so much for scheduling a session with your little guy! Can’t wait to see you again!

Thank you so much Julie & Tyler! I am so excited to be able to capture the special moments in your life!

I met Sabrina on FACEBOOK! We set up a session for her little miracle at the end of February when she was a little over a month old!

*L* is such a cuddly, chubby baby! Remember – when I say your baby is chubby – it’s the greatest compliment I can give! I LOVE LOVE chubby babies!

Little *L* and her sweet cousin *A*!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot!

I just love little girls with their daddas – melts my heart!

OH MY GOODNESS!!

Purple is my favorite color and I just love this tutu my friend Sassy made for me!

Thanks again Sabrina for welcoming me into your home! I love love LOVE your sweet baby girl and can’t wait to watch her grow up!!

ROWYN – 11 DAYS OLD

Filed under: babes,family,love,my family,portraits — admin at 9:48 am on Sunday, March 6, 2011

I had to take some newborn shots of Rowyn while we were visiting! She was so beautiful and perfect! Derek thought she would be cold and fussy – but she was such a natural!

SERIOUSLY – look at that face!! How adorable is she!!

Such a sweet baby!

Oh the chubbiness!

Jessica wanted some photos with the necklace from her wedding – such a great idea!

SO PRECIOUS!!

Jessica looks FANTASTIC for just giving birth nearly two weeks ago!

Such a sweet little family!!

You guys are incredible parents! I cannot wait for Fitzy and Rowyn to meet and grow up together!!

VISITING ROWYN

Filed under: babes,bardenisms,just because,my family — admin at 8:55 am on Saturday, March 5, 2011

My baby brother Derek and his wife had their first child on February 7th! Rowyn Beth is the first grandchild on our side and Jessica’s side of the family!

Derek and Jessica live in Kentucky where Derek is attending seminary until the end of May! They are looking for jobs this summer and we hope that they find one near home!

A few weeks ago my mom, dad, cousin, and I drove the 12 hours to Kentucky to spend a couple days with the baby and new parents!

We ran into a traffic accident – which turned out to be a mobile meth lab scare – detouring us FOUR hours! We should have gotten to KY at 6 but didn’t pull in their driveway till 10 PM! Thankfully Rowyn was up for some snuggles before we went to bed!

My mom – Gramma Trout – loves squishing Rowyn’s cheeks!!

My brother is an AMAZING father! He loves his little girl so much!

I love love LOVE those shots! She is so comfortable in her dadda’s arms!

Holding her for the first time!

Our cousin Matt – Uncle Bunny – to his nephew – holding Rowyn!

Holding dadda’s hand!

Oh my heart! It just melts at the sight of Derek with his daughter!

Rowyn telling Grampa Trout how it is!! Love those photos!

Gramma was pinching her cheeks again!

Gramma and Grampa Trout with their first grandchild!

I just love love LOVE her!

Rowyn and her momma!

She is so incredibly sweet! Stay tuned for her newborn shoot over the next few days!

Sam & Kristin have two beautiful boys at home and welcomed a baby girl in mid-February!

Sam is part of the *V* family that I have photographed on several different occasions! I love this family!

I visited Kristin in the hospital the day *E* was born!

She is so precious!

Look at that little smile!

I love that last photo – such a special moment! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture these few frames for you!

Once Kristin had been home for a few weeks – we set up her newborn session!

We had to get some shots of their family first!

Dadda and his girl!

I know that picture on the left is blurry – but I just LOVE it!

Their oldest – *B* – he is such a sweet little guy!

Their little guy – *I* – he cuddled right up with me!

How sweet is she!

SO SWEET!

She DID NOT like the tutu – but I couldn’t resist with this picture!

Thank you again Sam & Kristin! I cannot wait for our babies to grow up together!

SWEET BABY *C*

Filed under: babes,expecting,friends,just because — admin at 9:01 am on Friday, February 25, 2011

I have known Belinda since 8th grade – where we met at church! We both went to Mansfield University and share a close friend – Jessica! Jessica was a bridesmaid in my wedding and Belinda’s! Belinda and I were both in Jessica’s wedding!

Belinda & Nate were the third wedding that I photographed! I took their engagement photos long before I even thought about starting a photography business!

They have gone through so much heartache in their dream to have a child – we have cried together and prayed together.

Now we are rejoicing together!

*C* was born on January 27th and I just had to get over to the hospital to see them the next day! I could hardly keep it together walking in that room – so much emotion!

Knowing that Belinda and Nate have been waiting years for this moment – and now it’s here – was just too much to take!

Little *C* is about 30 hours old in these photos!

100

The first thing I said when I walked in the room and saw him was – HE IS SO FAT! This is an instance where I don’t think before I speak – it happens more often than not! But you see – the thing is – I LOVE LOVE LOVE chubby babies! The fatter the better – and he is just so chubby!!

Belinda & Nate – thanks so much for letting me come over and snap some photos of him – and share in your joy! We are SO happy for both of you!

RYLEE TURNS ONE

Filed under: babes,family,kiddos,portraits — admin at 9:23 am on Monday, February 21, 2011

I met Brianne through Chelsie – who I met through Stephanie – have I lost you yet? At Stephanie’s wedding in June – her future sister-in-law Chelsie told me how much her sister-in-law Brianne loved my work. She wanted to get her a gift certificate for Rylee’s 6 month portraits. Not long after – Brianne called me and made an appointment for Rylee’s 1 year portraits! Brianne is mega organized – like me – and since she already planned a session with me – Chelsie got her a GC for the 1st year session!

We have had this planned since July! I cannot believe time flew so fast!
