I went to high school with Melissa’s older sister – we’ve stayed in touch and I did their family photos a few years ago!

They’ve since added a little guy to the mix!

I ABSOLUTELY adore that black & white shot!

It was a cold and windy day – but that sweet little guy was a GEM!

Thank you again!

It’s been at least 3 years since I last photographed the *H* family! I was SO excited to spend the afternoon capturing them again!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

You guys were AWESOME! Until next time!

Last year – Virginia took some family photos for us! WE LOVED THEM!

We traded sessions this year – and it was a BEAUTIFUL afternoon!

LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

Thank so much for meeting up with us – next time we swap – you’ll have a bouncing baby boy about to turn ONE! AHHH!

Janelle needed some new photos to represent her BEAUTIFUL jewelry!

GORGEOUS!!

If you’re looking for some gorgeous jewelry – let me know – I’ll get you in contact with Janelle!

It’s time for BEAUTIFUL again! This is the 7th year I’ve ran this contest – and I LOVE IT!

I will be awarding 1 family a photo session!

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

I will be choosing 1 family from the entries and announce the winner on March 1st. The deadline for the submissions will be February 29th. I need to hear from 10 people to make this contest work!!

Make sure to tell me WHAT MAKES THEIR FAMILY BEAUTIFUL.

YOU CANNOT SUBMIT YOUR OWN FAMILY 

If you were a previous beautiful winner – you can’t win again – sorry bout that!

Also – you MUST use the photo session within 2016!

I’ve been waiting to photograph these sweet boys again!

We have an apple tree in our side yard (my in-laws yard) – it’s beautiful for bribery!

OH MY WORD!

SUCCESS!!

Let’s see – will next year be easier or harder! Either way – I look forward to it!

I LOVE senior sessions – I don’t get very many anymore – and that makes me sad!

But this guy – brought a smile!

I LOVE those shots! He was so easy to photograph!

Seriously – so handsome!

Stephen – whatever you do – do it well!

This little guy was a DREAM to photograph!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

ADORABLE!

Kara – it was GREAT to see you again and meet your family!

I’m nearly six months behind on blogging – I’ll see this guy in a few weeks for his 6 month session!!

I love Kelly and her family! They’ve been in front of my lens for over FIVE years!

Isn’t he DARLING!!

Kelly & Dane – I can’t WAIT to see you again!

I’ve known Amber for a VERY long time! She was good friends with my sister throughout school!

I love seeing her family every year – her boys are some of the best boys to photograph!

Aren’t they just adorable!

Amber – thank you again!
