My brother and sister were in town after the first of the year – and we all spent time together at G and Pa’s!
I actually didn’t take many pictures – we were too busy hanging out and having fun!
Fitzy did NOT want his picture taken. Enoch was eyeing the pop tarts.
Jack wasn’t sure about the attention and that sweet Rowyn and Judah – were just along for the ride!
We spent the morning – not too early – opening Christmas gifts here at our house!
We LOVE playing GO FISH!
He was REALLY excited when he figured out that pa recorded the story!
I thought those were cereal bowls – turns out – they’re HUGE!
KYLO REN! I have a feeling it will be a STAR WARS Christmas for YEARS to come!
We spent the weekend of Christmas at my parents!
Enoch kept insisting that the big-bellied STAR WARS character was MOMMY!
It was a STAR WARS Christmas – AGAIN!
Thankfully – we have awesome families! It usually works out that we spend Christmas Eve day with Jared’s parents!
Warm temperatures and a quick walk next door!
That little pumpkin – he’s adorable!
We had a great Christmas! Relaxing and full of family!
The past THREE years of Christmas!
I’ve been photographing Vicky and her family for FIVE YEARS!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot!
Vicky – I LOVE capturing this season for your family!
Jenna & Dave were some of my first clients – and really got the word out about this little hobby called barden photography!
Such a BEAUTIFUL family!
Those sweet sweet moments!
Those two pictures – it’s quite an honor to be the momma of little boys. She’s got three!
Sweet momma kisses!
Jenna & Dave – it was SO great to see you! Let’s not make it SO long next time!
My friend Ashley had a FANTASTIC idea – have a Galentine’s Day get-together!
For those of you that don’t know – Galentines’s Day is from Parks & Recreation – and it’s a FANTASTIC notion!
The day before Valentine’s Day – getting together and celebrating your girlfriends – with breakfast and bacon – and little gifties!
On the show – Leslie says crazy wonderful things to her best friend Ann – so I made a personalized card for each gal!
Leslie makes mosaic portraits out of soda bottles for each of her friends – BUT I’m not THAT talented! But – I just might try next year!
I made portraits for each of my friends – and a ridiculously huge keychain!
Leslie writes a 5,000 word essay about each gal – I made a little booklet documenting what I admire about each woman!
Ashley wasn’t able to make it – friend duties came up and good friends listen to their heart!
I almost kept that tardis!
The cup of coffee turned out AWESOME!
My Aunt L – she loves to write – so hers was a blank piece of paper!
Mara – she loves music!
Becca – that is supposed to be a paint brush keychain!
Sarah wasn’t able to make it to our Galentine’s breakfast – which just meant MORE BREAKFAST DATES!
Shalane wasn’t able to make it either – but no worries – we made YET ANOTHER breakfast date – which I LOVE!
And she gave me a BEAUTIFUL bracelet – inscribed with – ovaries b4 brovaries!
I felt like the fans of Parks & Rec would REALLY appreciate the awesomeness of a Galentine’s Day!
It should really be a national holiday! It certainly WILL be an ANNUAL event!
And I also I sent some Galentine’s out to some of my gals!
LADIES CELEBRATING LADIES!
I’m planning on having a GALENTINE’S DAY breakfast every other month!
And NEXT year – GALENTINE’S day will be EPIC!
I’ve been photographing this family for several years now!
ADORABLE!
GORGEOUS!
Heather & Jillian – you guys are AWESOME! Can’t WAIT to see you again!!
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 watching little *A* grow and learn!
Isn’t she ADORABLE!!
OH MY WORD!
Nicole – you are such an inspiration!
