Megan is a great friend and fellow photog! We take pictures for each other when we need them – which works out FANTASTIC!

*J* is such a sweet (and really funny) kiddo!

Oh! That shot on the right. A momma’s love. There is nothing like it!

And again in black and white – just because it’s beautiful!

She needed some shots for a Christmas card – and to document their growing family!

After I took their Christmas pictures – we went back to their house for their gender reveal!

Another sweet boy or will there be a baby girl in the picture?

It’s another BOY!

Megan & Seth – I’m so happy for you guys! You are dear friends and we LOVE you!!

I met Amy when I worked at Phoenix! *E* was only 6 months old and now she’s 10! I just can’t even believe it!

It’s been a few years since I took pictures of the WHOLE family – so we set something up for October!

Amy’s sister and her family – BEAUTIFUL!

Sisters. Twins. Love them.

OH MY WORD. Just. OH MY WORD.

You guys are AWESOME! I cannot wait to see you again! Thanks SO MUCH!!

I’ve known Katie for almost 10 years! And I love her DEARLY!

I’ve taken so many pictures of her – I’ve lost count! Isn’t she GORGEOUS!

Chase and little *O* aren’t too bad either!

LOVE!!!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE those shots!!

Fitzy and little *O* clicked right away – again!

Katie – we HAVE to make sure this happens more than once a year! We LOVE you guys!

I absolutely ADORE this family!! I started photographing them when they were a family of four – and now – they’ve grown to six!

We met on a chilly morning at my parents!

GORGEOUS!!

Brothers – be still my heart!

ADORABLE!

I LOVE spending time with you guys! Can’t WAIT to see you next year!

I LOVE photographing this family!

After their wedding this year – SO MANY people contacted me about photos – Katelyn has a fabulous group of friends!

We met at my parents property on a WINDY October evening!

LOVE those shots!

I absolutely LOVE that one!

GORGEOUS!

OH MY WORD!

Katelyn & Josh – you guys are AWESOME! Thank you so much for coming out – can’t wait to see you next year!!

I met Renata in college!

I took their engagement photos and an after the wedding session!

I met up with her this summer for a mini session – but Matt was out of town unexpectedly – so we scheduled a family session for the fall!

They’ve added a sweet little guy to their ADORABLE family!

Isn’t he SPLENDID!

So – this session. It rained. It was overcast – REALLY overcast. We had to sit in the car and wait out the rain – TWICE!

But – some of my favorite images EVER are from this session – totally worth the waiting!

Matt & Renata did a GREAT job of just being themselves – and letting me capture a little bit of their lives!

Little *A* took a face plant in the mud. And didn’t cry. And was still awesome!

You might recognize that top picture – the new face of barden photography!

Seriously – the mood in these photos – I’m actually really happy the sun was avoiding us!

STOP IT! He’s so ridiculously cute!

ADORABLE!

Renata & Matt – thank you for believing in my vision! I can’t WAIT to see you guys again!!

The day of my scheduled mini sessions – it rained! UGH!

We rescheduled for little *K* – a few times actually – and it couldn’t have gone better!

WHAT A CUTIE!!

I don’t usually post blooper shots – but this one! TOO FUNNY!

Thank you again for bringing your little guy out! I hope to see you in front of my lens again soon!

Craig and I swapped family sessions in October – it worked out GREAT!

Craig & Sarah – thanks for the swap! I hope you guys LOVE your photos as much as we love ours!

I’ve taken pictures of Rachel since she was pregnant with her little *S* – and here and there in between!

She is marrying Josh next year – and I am SO happy for them!

OH MY WORD! As soon as I clicked this – I KNEW it was gorgeous!

I want these all over my walls!

Rachel – I am SO happy you found your love!

I took Melvin & Heather’s maternity shots with little *S* – and I was so excited that they booked a mini session in August!

Mini sessions got rained out – but we rescheduled and missed the rain!

*S* was not about to make my job easy – but I finally got a few smiles!

Sweetness!

Thank you for coming over! I can’t wait to see your sweet girl’s face!
