barden photography will have a booth at the Ithaca Mall on February 27th from 10am to 5pm!

Make sure to stop by!

I have a few open dates this spring and then not again until November – but 2011 is nearly wide open!

Melissa is barden photography’s cover girl at the moment – and Cody’s girlfriend!

She came along for a few shots during his senior session!

LOVE THAT SHOT!

MY FAVORITE!

Melissa & Cody – thanks so much for sticking it out in the cold!

Heather & Ben drove to Mansfield with their sweet pup for a photo session on Saturday – the 7th of November.

They think of their pup like their child – so we had THAT in common!

Thanks again Heather & Ben – can’t wait till next time!

I had been doing well – I wrote my letter to Enoch – knowing that we will see him in heaven.

Ten days went by and I hadn’t cried – I hadn’t really doubted our happiness or our lives – and then it started again.

One of our friends told us they were pregnant again – then another – and the anger returned.

Another couple we know is pregnant and now- five minutes ago – I found out about another.

I am so happy for our friends and pray for their pregnancies – but the anger just takes over.

I am so angry – not at the momma’s and daddy’s – not at God anymore – just ANGRY!

Please pray for me. Pray for us. I am so discouraged each month when I find out that we aren’t pregnant – another month of trying – gone.

I need hope – I am so afraid to hope – to even think that it might ever happen again – that we might have a pregnancy that doesn’t end in a loss.

I am watching all my friends hold my dreams in their hands … and I am losing hope …

I wanted to try out a few new ideas with Dave & Jenna – and they were such willing participants!

Jenna & I were so excited about the idea of being pregnant at the same time and having babies so close in age. As you know, this has been a really rough year for me – and this session was no different. When I look at Jenna – or any pregnant woman for that matter – all I see is what I would have been – what I want so badly. This session was very hard for me – but I wanted to capture the beauty and emotion of pregnancy – what it means to me …

They were such great models – and I am so thankful that they allowed me to share these photos with you.

Thanks again guys soooooo much for sticking with my crazy ideas!

Can’t wait to get some newborn shots of your sweetness!
