YOU MAY KISS YOUR BRIDE!!

That newly married smile might be the one of the best there is!!

I LOVE that shot from Mara!!

There are SO MANY reasons you should have 2 photographers at your wedding!!

Last March – right before the world turned completely upside-down – I met Carrie at a BRIDAL EXPO at Logan Ridge!!

She said – I just set my date – October 17th! Are you available!?

Sadly – I was not. But then everything changed. My bride for October 17th changed her wedding to October 16th of 2021.

I reached out to Carrie – but she had also changed her date to October 16th of 2021.

Then – I got a message at the end of September from Carrie! She asked if I was available on October 17th of this year after all!

They decided to have a small ceremony at her favorite place – Lodi Point (which also happens to be MY favorite place)!!

I changed my schedule around a little bit and was able to make it work!!

Do you remember when Mara used to come with me to weddings and take some shots!? She came with me to Carrie’s wedding and grabbed this shot – along with many other great ones!

Any photos you see without the db next to barden photography are shots Mara took!!

I very rarely get the chance to be so up close & personal during a ceremony – it was AMAZING!!

I LOVE THESE SHOTS!!!

Heather – thank you SO MUCH for waiting and hanging out with me!! I can’t WAIT to see you guys next time!!

Heather messaged me asking about scheduling a fall session! I was booked – completely and utterly booked. Several sessions a day. Sunrise sessions & evening sessions. Every single night was taken.

I told her who I recommended – but she said – WE WANT TO WAIT FOR YOU!!

I had a last minute cancellation and asked her if she wanted it – she did!!

I met Heather at the pool a few summers ago and we know lots of the same people. I was SO excited to get them in front of my lens!!

I LOVE THESE PHOTOS!!!

BUT – I had a last minute cancellation and asked her if she

Everything about this session!! The colors – the hugs – the baby belly – the love! EVERYTHING!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

I love those!! I am always absolutely AMAZED that we get to carry new life!!

PERFECTION!!!

Jessica & Chris have since welcomed their 2nd daughter into this world!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to photograph these amazing moments in your lives!!

I’ve been photographing Jessica & Chris since their engagement! I can’t explain the joy in photographing ALL the moments in your lives!!

I even grabbed a few shots of *R* reading with her grandma!!

Silhouette shots are some of my FAVORITE shots! I adore those ones of her looking up at her momma!

I love that series of photos – so sweet and genuine.

I can’t believe that she’s as big as she is! I feel like I was JUST taking pictures of HER in her momma’s belly!

Our house is GORGEOUS in the fresh snow!!

Isn’t it!?

Cait & Corey – thank you SO much for spending the afternoon with me! I can’t WAIT to see you again!!

He didn’t know how to feel about my sudden presence!

You might recognize these two!! I photographed their wedding in September!!

Cait & Corey got his parents a gift certificate for THIS session last Christmas!! I’m telling you – it’s one of the BEST gifts you can give!!
