I LOVE photographing Autumn and her growing family every year!

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE a moody black & white!

A YEAR – A WHOLE YEAR – it goes so very fast! It seems like I was JUST taking his newborn photos!

And really – let’s be totally honest here – THIS is how sessions typically go!

Which is why I LOVE lifestyle sessions – because THIS is real life!

Again – really real life! And what does it come down to? He wanted what he wanted when he couldn’t have it!

Which is really the issue with ALL OF US! We want what WE want when we can’t have it.

OH MY HEART! ADORABLE!

AHHHHH!!!

Those sweet brothers – BEST FRIENDS!

Autumn – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to photograph your family year after year!

Sometimes I don’t see a family every year. Sometimes I don’t see them every other year – sometimes it’s a FEW years – BUT that makes the excitement even better!

The last time I saw this little family – their little guy was still in his momma’s belly!

Aren’t they ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE?!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I LOVE those!!

It was JUST A TOUCH cold that day! Those kids – they were troopers!

AND – the kiddos brought their Halloween costumes!

Nina – I love that your hubby wanted to surprise you with a photo session! I LOVED seeing you guys!

Have I mentioned how much I ADORE seeing families year after year after year?!

And baby after baby after baby?!

I met this family when this sweet girl was just a tot!

*D* – THE BIGGEST SISTER!

I LOVE THAT ONE!

This guy – he’s got FOUR sisters! And that sweetie on the right – I met her when she was brand new!

OH MY HEART!!

SWOON! BABIES and SISTERS and BLACK & WHITE!

LOOK AT THAT SMILE!

Their newest baby sister! Isn’t she ADORABLE!

A dad and his son – LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot on the left!

Lifestyle sessions – MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!

The light – the composition – DIVINE!

MY FAVORITE!!

The wind – the dandelions – the fields – the top of the world! Country living – at its finest!

Ben is a farmer – those weathered hands with that new pink baby – THE BEST!

On top of the world!

Karla – thank you for having me back – year after year! I am so honored to document your family!

OH MY HEART!!

LOOK AT THOSE FACES!

AND THIS GIRL! SHE’S SO SWEET!

Do you know my friend Sierra? If you don’t – you should!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT LAST SHOT! Basically what her life looks like – being the baby and all!

That picture on top – might be my FAVORITE PICTURE EVER! I do realize that I say that – QUITE OFTEN!

But seriously – I love that her beautiful smiling face is in focus in the corner – and her life is just happening around her!

WAIT – those might be FAVORITE! I just ADORE those shots!

Sierra – you are kind and gentle. Thoughtful and purposeful. You are strong and brave.

You are an inspiration to everyone you meet!

I LOVE YOU!

I took Sadie’s senior pictures – a VERY long time ago – or so it seems!

I also took Forrest’s senior pictures – an almost equally long time ago!

And now – their baby boy!

Isn’t he a DOLL! I can’t believe it’s been a WHOLE year since I photographed him as a brand-new baby!

OH MY HEART!!

Sadie – thank you for asking me to photograph this little guy! You are a FABULOUS MOMMA!

GLASS PUMPKINS

Filed under: baby barden,bardenisms,family,friends,just because,kiddos,lifestyle,my family,my town — admin at 12:32 pm on Thursday, December 14, 2017

Every year – for the past 4 years now – Missy and I get the boys together and create a glass pumpkin!

I’m not sure we’re really prepared for 18 years of glass pumpkins – but we WILL do it – somehow!

THAT FACE! THAT KID!

OH MY HEART!!

THAT HAIR! UGH! He looks WAY TOO GROWN UP NOW!

The three best friends that ANYONE could have!

Because getting pictures of this one with his momma is a hard thing to do – I snapped just a few!

EVERYONE should have a Missy to do life with!
