Katrina is a senior @ Athens Area High – the same high school I graduated from in 1999!

Katrina was the first child my sister and I babysat alone – which makes me OLD!

I have watched her grow up into a beautiful young woman!

Katrina – I had a GREAT time! Thanks again!

Raelynne and I connected on FACEBOOK and scheduled a session a few weeks ago at her house – with her ADORABLE kiddos!

Raelynne – I had such a great time photographing your family – can’t wait till next time!

Stevie referred Tess to barden photography through our senior referral program! We had to reschedule our session and then again due to weather – but I had a last minute cancellation that Tess was able to take. It was a perfect day!

Tess – thanks so much! I love how your photos turned out!

I met Allison & Jeff through FACEBOOK. Allison wanted a family photo shoot before Jeff left to serve our country.

I ADORE THAT PICTURE!

Allison – thanks for contacting me! I will be praying for your as you your baby arrives and Jeff is serving our country!

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’ve been taking pictures of *E* for quite a while now!

He is such a serious little guy!

Thanks again Matt & Mandy for making the trip over to my parents!

Kayla needed some pictures for the school year. We met on a cold, rainy day at my parents house – but made it work!

Thanks Kayla for making the trip out! See you at our next session!

Rebecca probably has one of the cutest little girls I have ever met!

I spent the morning with them a few weeks ago and got some great shots!

That might be one of my favorite photos ever!

Thanks again *R* family for having me over!

Lucas and I went have known one another since middle school – we were drafting partners for 4 years in high school. His mom also works at the chiropractor’s office that I have been going to since I was 8!

Luke contacted me on FACEBOOK to set up an appointment for family photos at his parents home – which is only about a mile from my parents house!

It started out a chilly, rainy day – but ended up to be PERFECT for family photos!

Thanks again *H* family! Can’t wait till next time!

Emily is a God appointment. We met on FACEBOOK and she wanted to book a session for her baby girl – due October 11th – the same date that we were due. We wrote back and forth and I shared my struggles with her. We prayed (and still do pray) for one another. Her sweet baby *A* was born a few weeks early and we managed to schedule a session for October 16th.

I was looking forward to meeting Emily in person – and a little nervous about meeting this sweet baby that was due the day our sweet baby was.

Emily made me feel like such a friend from the moment I walked in her door. We talked and talked – about life and it’s fragility – about God and His promises – about love and peace and fear.

Emily – THANK YOU so much for being such a great friend – and for sharing your sweetness with me.

SHE IS SO SWEET!

Emily – thanks again for everything!
