I took newborn photos of little *L* last year and couldn’t believe it was time for her first year photos already!

ADORABLE!

She loves her little cow!

She was moving fast within those ribbons – but I still love the shots – even though they are a little blurry!

Julie – thank you SO much for asking me to capture your little girl’s growth! You guys are fantastic!

I am so thankful that Sabrina asked me to capture her 1st birthday party!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the ideas she incorporated!

LOOK AT THAT FACE!

Sabrina – thank you SO much again! I can’t wait to see you guys this summer!

OH MY WORD!

LOVE THOSE EYELASHES!

Arica – I love love LOVE photographing your little guy! He is just so cute!

You can find out about a tiny life growing inside you and have it burst out with that first breath – in 9 months.

You start school in the fall as a senior and graduate in the summer – suddenly an adult – in 9 months.

You can watch that tiny life that burst out of you grow into a climbing – crawling – babbling – smiling – not so tiny (but still pretty small) baby – in 9 months.

You can fall head over heels in love.

You can watch your entire life change.

You can discover that a hug from your child is the best gift in the world.

You can marvel at God’s love – through the eyes of this little baby.

In 9 months.

SHE IS SUCH A SWEETIE!!

Louise – thanks so much for inviting me into your home! I loved spending time with your little one!

Her little girl is betrothed to Fitzy!

OH MY WORD!

*L* told me that he reads the paper EVERY SINGLE DAY! So we had to get a picture of that!

I love love LOVE that top picture!

She was such a little model for me!

Look at those two little teeth!

LOOK AT HER! She is such a doll!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that dresser! And those shots!

Sheri – thank you SO much for having me into your home! I cannot WAIT to capture your family this summer!

. babies . babies . babies .

There are so many babies on the way!

I am feeling slightly anxious because I don’t have any of the symptoms I did with Fitzy when we were pregnant. With our first pregnancy I didn’t have any symptoms – and we lost that baby – it just makes me a little nervous! BUT – I am trusting that God is in control and has our little baby in His hands!

To celebrate all the babies on the way – and the babies that we are praying for that WILL be on the way – I want to offer a . babies . special!

For that first year of life I offer – maternity – newborn – 3 months – 6 months – 9 months – 12 months all for $1000 (which is a $200 savings) and comes out to $166 a session!

For those of you that don’t want to do belly shots – I offer - newborn – 3 months – 6 months – 9 months – 12 months all for $800 (which is a $200 savings) and comes out to $160 a session!

I also offer – maternity – newborn – 6 months – 12 months all for $700 (which is a savings of $100) and comes out to $175 a session!

Again – for those of you that don’t want to do belly shots – I offer – newborn – 6 months – 12 months all for $500 (which is a $100 savings) and comes out to $166 a session!

I know that some of you are JUST finding out about your pregnancies and want to wait a little longer to commit!

I will run a special until the end of March! If you put down your deposit – which is the amount of a session in your particular package – you will get a FREE 16 x 20 canvas print at the end of the first year! Your deposit must be in my hand by 3.31.2012!

I know that some of you are due right around when we are – I am taking off the month of July (but would open maternity spots if needed) and the months of September through February most likely (with some exceptions) but if you are willing to come to Mansfield for your newborn sessions – I can totally fit you in and make it work! For those of you in Mansfield I would just come to you!

If you are a former barden photography bride – you get an extra bonus!

When you choose the $1000 package – at the end of the first year you will receive a 30 page – 12 x 12 album of your sessions AND a 16 x 20 canvas print! You can choose one print or a collection of prints to display on your canvas!

When you choose the $800 package – at the end of the first year you will receive a 30 page – 12 x 12 album of your sessions OR a 16 x 20 canvas print! You can choose one print or a collection of prints to display on your canvas!

LOVE THAT SHOT!

Sisters – I love sisters!

SO SWEET!

Erin – thank you SO much for having me over to capture your sweet little girls!

*A* was the first of 5 certain miracles we had been praying for! I was out of town on his actual birthday so I didn’t get to photograph his birth – but I stopped by the day after to get some cuddles in!

How perfectly precious!

We met up a week later for his newborn session!

LOVE LOVE LOVE those ones!

They have been waiting YEARS for this miracle boy!

Missy & Cody – I am SO happy for you! I can’t wait for *A* and Fitzy to grow up together!

LOOK AT THAT FACE!

He is such a serious little guy!

Jackie – thank you SO much for asking me to capture your moments! God is SO good!
