I met Ashley at our local MOPS group – and was HONORED when she asked me to capture her little man’s newness!
ABSOLUTE SWEETNESS!!
OH MY WORD!
I can’t even deal – SO BEAUTIFUL!
SO BEAUTIFUL!
Ashley – thank you again for asking me into your home and your heart! It was truly an honor!
Jenna & Dave were some of my first clients – and really got the word out about this little hobby called barden photography!
Such a BEAUTIFUL family!
Those sweet sweet moments!
Those two pictures – it’s quite an honor to be the momma of little boys. She’s got three!
Sweet momma kisses!
Jenna & Dave – it was SO great to see you! Let’s not make it SO long next time!
We had a joint party for Enoch & Jack at my parents – so my friend Missy and I decided to have a joint party for our boys at the local Y!
It’s a struggle to put down the camera and enjoy the moments – but I make sure to do it!!
A dairy-free puppy cake – THE BEST!
Enoch & Aiden – we love you boys SO VERY MUCH!
My nephew turned 1 right after Christmas – and Enoch’s birthday is mid-November – so we had a joint party around Thanksgiving!
THOSE CURLS! I will NEVER cut his hair!
Jack did NOT enjoy our singing and clapping! Poor guy!
GORGEOUS!!
He calmed down a little after some snuggling and nursing!
Jack & Enoch – you are so loved! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOYS!
Taylor is one of my FAVORITE people to photograph!
He’s such a little ham!
It was a cold day – but this sweetie gave me some shots!
That top picture – BEAUTIFUL!
Taylor – it’s truly an honor to capture your BEAUTIFUL family!
I was HONORED to be at the birth of this little sweet girl!
She’s SIX months old already!
I mean – SERIOUSLY!
She is just so sweet!
The bond between a parent and child – priceless!
Kelly – thank you so much for asking me to capture this BEAUTIFUL time in your lives!
I love this little family!
Isn’t she JUST BEAUTIFUL!!
And her big brother – he’s SO SO cute!
You guys – are so awesome! Your love for Jesus SHINES!
I met Melissa at the park over the summer – it was a chance meeting.
I told her about MOPS and about our gathering at the church throughout the summer! And she came!
Her kiddos are adorable and it’s been awesome getting to know her!
She needed just a few shots for their updated family photos. If you know me – taking just a few shots – is impossible!
Melissa – I’m so glad I ran into you that day at the playground!
I met with Jennifer and her family on a VERY chilly day! But we made it work!
On a side note – I am fully aware that photographing on tracks is not legal or safe. These tracks are purely decorative and lead to nothing – safe.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!
And – just to show you that it’s not always perfect!
Jennifer – thank you so much for asking me to photograph this BEAUTIFUL time in your lives!
My friend Ashley had a FANTASTIC idea – have a Galentine’s Day get-together!
For those of you that don’t know – Galentines’s Day is from Parks & Recreation – and it’s a FANTASTIC notion!
The day before Valentine’s Day – getting together and celebrating your girlfriends – with breakfast and bacon – and little gifties!
On the show – Leslie says crazy wonderful things to her best friend Ann – so I made a personalized card for each gal!
Leslie makes mosaic portraits out of soda bottles for each of her friends – BUT I’m not THAT talented! But – I just might try next year!
I made portraits for each of my friends – and a ridiculously huge keychain!
Leslie writes a 5,000 word essay about each gal – I made a little booklet documenting what I admire about each woman!
Ashley wasn’t able to make it – friend duties came up and good friends listen to their heart!
I almost kept that tardis!
The cup of coffee turned out AWESOME!
My Aunt L – she loves to write – so hers was a blank piece of paper!
Mara – she loves music!
Becca – that is supposed to be a paint brush keychain!
Sarah wasn’t able to make it to our Galentine’s breakfast – which just meant MORE BREAKFAST DATES!
Shalane wasn’t able to make it either – but no worries – we made YET ANOTHER breakfast date – which I LOVE!
And she gave me a BEAUTIFUL bracelet – inscribed with – ovaries b4 brovaries!
I felt like the fans of Parks & Rec would REALLY appreciate the awesomeness of a Galentine’s Day!
It should really be a national holiday! It certainly WILL be an ANNUAL event!
And I also I sent some Galentine’s out to some of my gals!
LADIES CELEBRATING LADIES!
I’m planning on having a GALENTINE’S DAY breakfast every other month!
And NEXT year – GALENTINE’S day will be EPIC!
