This year is the year of HOPE<\/strong> – 2010.<\/p>\n

Last year started off AMAZING<\/strong> – my 1st BRIDAL EXPO was a success (I got 1 booking at the show and 12 overall) – we got our 1st puppy – we found out that we were pregnant with our 1st child – made our 1st flying trip together – got my 1st MAC computer …<\/p>\n

Then we lost our 1st child – had our 1st real test of faith – had our 1st absolutely horrible year while we’ve been together. UGH!<\/p>\n

I felt like Job – like I was losing everything – my trust – my hope – my sanity – my baby – but I felt that God had told satan to not touch my photography – that was off limits.<\/p>\n

2009 with barden photography was AMAZING – more than I could have even imagined – more than I wanted it to be! I had prayed for 24 weddings – and God gave me 24 weddings. I wanted to expand my senior portfolio – and EXPAND it did!<\/p>\n

I am so thankful to God for His blessings this past year!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year I am hoping.<\/p>\n

I am hoping for a much better 2010 – I am hoping that I don’t lose my hope.<\/p>\n

I asked God for specifics again with weddings and seniors and He has already gone beyond my furthest hopes.<\/p>\n

This year at the BRIDAL EXPO we booked 8 weddings – with 5 more in the works! I have 24 weddings for this year and KT has 9!<\/p>\n

We met with a bride and groom Tuesday night about their 2011 wedding in SAN ANTONIO! Our 1st destination wedding!<\/p>\n

I am hoping and praying for another year of 1st’s – the 1st year of more than 24 weddings – the 1st year of more than 30 seniors – the 1st year of diving into newborn photography – the 1st time we get to see our baby on an ultrasound – feel our child move inside me – hold our newborn baby in our arms.<\/p>\n

I am so thankful to God for His blessings in this coming year!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I HOPE that your year will be AMAZING – and that above all else you will know the love of Jesus and the healing that only He can give!
