BARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY – BEAUTIFUL

I am starting a new program: BEAUTIFUL.

I will be awarding 2 families a photo session.

Email me @ dcbarden@gmail.com – write a paragraph or two about a family you know (or YOUR family) that deserves a FREE photo session.

I will be choosing 2 families from the entries and announce the winners on May 1st. The deadline for the submissions will be April 15th.

Make sure to tell me WHAT MAKES THEIR (or your) FAMILY BEAUTIFUL.

I can’t wait to read your submissions!

Yesterday was GREAT! We didn’t see as many couples as we would have liked to but it was a Friday and the weather was a little shady.

We got there at 9.30ish and set up the booth – WHICH LOOKS SO SHARP! I will TRY to remember to take my camera and get some shots!

We had 17 brides register for our FREE SWAG!

We booked a wedding on 9.25.2010 for KT – thanks again Miranda!

We booked another wedding for me on 6.13.2010 – a Sunday wedding at … BELHURST CASTLE! AHHHHHHH!!!! Thanks again so much Elizabeth!!!!!!

The coordinators from the mall told me that our booth looked really sharp and they would make a note in their books for next year about it!

We got home around 10.15ish where I promptly lost my voice – waking up to realize that I have INDEED lost it for sure – I cannot speak above a whisper – thank goodness for KT and her translating!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE SUPPORT FROM MY FORMER CLIENTS that stopped by – you guys are AMAZING!

Special thanks to Mandy for bringing her sweetness Leah and letting me yoink her for a bit!

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE TODAY OR TOMORROW!

The BRIDAL EXPO is here again! I cannot believe this is the 2nd year I have been a vendor! SO EXCITING!

My booth is in the same place it was last year – across from Things Remembered and Gertrude Hawk – more toward the BOY SCOUT store.

This year I wanted to sharpen up my booth. I bought three black tablecloths and had my logo attached in hot pink! I got a 52″ square black cloth with my logo and contact information – phone number – website – email – in hot pink.

I have a 24 x 36 canvas of Chris & Clarissa to hang from the backdrop – along with 2 – 16 x 20 canvas prints of Jason & Mandy. I have a 20 X 30 canvas of Meghan to stand on the table with another 16 x 20 of Bill & Cheryl. I am displaying all my albums along with the prints – including my SENIOR portfolio. It is going to look SHARP! I cannot wait!

KT will be there too – with her portfolio and any questions for her brides.

The EXPO runs Friday (10 to 9.30) – Saturday (10 to 9.30) – Sunday (11 to 6). KT and I will be there everyday all day!

I gave a free engagement and free after the wedding session to the mall to raffle off for brides. I will also be giving away one of each at my table – when you sign up with your email.

If you book a wedding and put down a deposit AT the EXPO – you get to choose 2 barden photography GIFT CERTIFICATES – we have them available for family sessions – after the wedding sessions – kiddo sessions – senior sessions – belly sessions!

Stop by and see us!
