We are LOVING this baby boy! He is so perfect and such a blessing!

Here are some photos during his 3rd week with us!

OH MY HEART!

He LOVES his play mat!

He also LOVES his moose!

Such a cutie!

I love spring! I love the smell of fresh grass, the buds on all the trees, and the flowers – oh how I love the flowers!

Normally I document the coming spring at each moment – but this year we were in the hospital over those three days welcoming our own spring miracle!

Here are some of the shots I took last month!

Remember – God takes care of the flowers in the field – and YOU are so much more important to Him – He will take care of you!!

My sister held a baby shower for Fitzy on April 2nd! She did such a great job with all the games and decorations!

My friend and fellow photog – Aszur – took some shots for us!

The creepy babies Samm used for the games!

Stephanie made this AWESOME cake for me!

I love the little Pooh pajamas! Thanks Aszur!

Aszur is due with her 3rd little guy in June!

Samm – thanks so much for your hard work and AWESOME shower for us!!!!

Thank you to Aszur for the photos and to everyone for coming!!!! Fitzy is so blessed to be so loved!!

Aszur took some maternity photos of me in early April!

These were some of my favorites! I added some textures and edits but they were taken by Aszur!

Thanks again Aszur! I am so glad that God crossed our paths!! I cannot wait to be with you during your delivery of your THIRD miracle!

REMINDER – MINI-MINI SESSIONS!

Saturday – May 28th – from 10 am to 2 pm – at the VFW pavilion in Mansfield! There is a limit to 4 people in the photographs – although individual shots will be taken too! There is no need for an appointment – but you may have to wait to get your photos taken! You will get 15 to 20 photos in the session – they will be emailed to you via SHUTTERFLY to order online! You can get a CD of the photos to reproduce for an extra charge of $10. Actual PRINTS will not be given out. Remember that this is to benefit Nicholas and his FOURTH heart surgery this summer! There is a minimum donation of $50 – ALL PROCEEDS will benefit Nicholas and his trip to Oklahoma City!

I have a number in my head that I would love to meet – but I’m not going to share it – just in case!

Yesterday our baby boy was two weeks old! I’ve been very blessed with GREAT photographer friends who wanted to photograph his cuteness! You can see all the different photos on my FACEBOOK!

I have been so tired and so focused on spoiling this little guy with love that I kept putting off his newborn photos – horrible right!

When Nicole from Yafeh Photography came to photograph our little guy – I took a few shots – at 12 days old!

PRECIOUS!!

I cannot get over the fact that this little guy is ours!!

Yesterday I took some shots of our teeny baby at 2 weeks old!

I don’t normally include outtakes but this one was too cute!

We are having such a great time loving on our little miracle!

Penny & Serena wanted a session together to celebrate their mother/daughter relationship! We met on a chilly morning at one of my FAVORITE spots ever!

ARE THEY NOT BEAUTIFUL!!!

Their sweet puppy – Mikey!

Penny & Serena – thank you SO much! You guys are great!

Rachel wanted a BFF session with Samantha! We’ve had this set up for a LONG time! Again – the wonderful weather this year postponed our shoot – but we got a BEAUTIFUL day in the end!

Seriously – HOW GORGEOUS ARE MY CLIENTS!!!!

Rachel has the most GORGEOUS eyes!!

GORGEOUS!!

LOVE IT!

Rachel & Samantha – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to capture your friendship! I can’t wait to see you both again!

I photographed Elizabeth & Chris at their wedding last June! They had booked with me at the ARNOT MALL BRIDAL EXPO in 2010 and received 2 gift certificates!

We had a session scheduled a few months ago and had to reschedule due to rain – surprise! This session was scheduled when the weather was calling for severe thunderstorms – so we made it a few hours earlier and missed the storm!

I LOVE that one!!

Thanks so much for making the trip to Mansfield guys! Can’t wait to see you for our next session!!

I told you about this family at the end of March –

In October of 2009 I photographed Carl & Pam’s wedding – a BEAUTIFUL wedding with an amazing couple! In October of 2010 they were blessed with a baby girl – Piper! At almost a month old – Piper was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. She is doing remarkably well and has a wonderful support system! On May 21st – Pam and Carl will be participating in a CF walk with Piper’s Posse! You can read more about Piper’s story – here!

I would love to be there for Pam & Carl and their sweet baby girl – but since I cannot – I will be donating 10% of my revenue for the month of April to Piper’s Posse!

PLEASE click on the link above and give what you can to help find a cure! I also encourage you to check out Confessions of a CF Husband. When Pam first asked me to pray for Piper and her tests – I directed her to this website – which helped me understand CF. I don’t know how I came upon his blog – but have been following their story since their little girl was born!

THANKS TO MY APRIL CLIENTS – I was able to give $161 to Piper’s Posse!!!

THE CONTEST FOR MAY –

Thank YOU for making barden photography what it is today – I am so excited about what the third year will bring!
