My sister is a ROCK STAR – she’s lost over 100 pounds in SEVEN MONTHS!

She was home over Thanksgiving and we took some pictures to show off her new bod!

Fitzy had to join in too!

OH MY HEART!

HANDSOME! OH SO HANDSOME!

Baby boy – you hold my heart!

Samm – I am SO proud of you!

And we can’t forget to add one of Fitzy and Gramma!

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS GONE! SO PROUD OF YOU! She’s got quite a bit more to lose to reach her goal! Pray for her with me! Encourage her! Uplift her! I’m afraid to say that she will probably be skinnier than me when she reaches her goal! I better step it up too!

On Saturday the 28th of May I held the mini-mini sessions to benefit Nicholas and his heart surgery!

We only had 4 families come – but considering that most of the town didn’t even have power yet – it was probably easily forgotten.

Thank you so much Sarah, Stephanie, Angie & Peggy for coming down and supporting Nicholas!

I had a few minutes before a senior session in July to take some photos at the park in Sayre.

Last year I offered coverage at sporting events for parents to capture their kids in action!

I will be doing the same again this spring – based on availability!

Contact me @ dcbarden@gmail.com for rates and details!

On Friday I went up to MU to get some fresh snow shots!

North Hall – a BEAUTIFUL building!

MY FAVORITE!!!

It is beautiful but i CANNOT wait for warmer weather!

barden photography is excited to announce a partnership with Think Pink Photography. Think Pink Photography was founded in October 2007 to support individuals and their families who have been touched by breast cancer. We are a charitable organization that serves two main purposes – celebrating life and supporting the cause.

Through our professional photographer network, we are helping breast cancer patients to celebrate life with charitable photography sessions. Individuals may choose to document their fight against the disease before or during treatment, or prefer to capture their victory by scheduling a session within 12 months after treatment is completed. Photographers world-wide are now available to donate time and talent to celebrate life and support the cause. There is no cost or obligation to the breast cancer patient. Clients participating in a Think Pink Session will receive a complimentary photo session, as well as a set of 10 small prints from the session. They will also receive a discount on any additional portraits they wish to purchase, although there is absolutely no purchase required at any time.

To support the cause, we have partnered with The Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation. All funds generated through donations and various fundraising efforts are paid directly to The Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation. As a 3-time breast cancer survivor, Danielle Beverly and her husband Eric joined together to form a foundation dedicated to promoting education, increasing awareness, and providing support and resources for families who have been touched by breast cancer.

Please subscribe to our blog (on the Think Pink website) and tell your friends and family about Think Pink Photography. Awareness is everything and we can’t be successful without you.

I encourage you to view our website, make a donation, or hire a photographer that supports Think Pink Photography!

If you hire me, mention Think Pink and I will make a personal donation to the organization. If you, or someone you know, would like to schedule a Think Pink session, please contact me for details.

I am very proud to be a network photographer with Think Pink Photography, and am anxious to get the word out about this amazing program. For more information, you can contact me, or you can visit the Think Pink Photography website at: http://www.thinkpinkphotography.org

New Covenant Academy makes the BEST peach shortcake around!

CHRISTMAS!

From now until November 15th I am offering a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!

I have been working on this idea for some time and am ready to introduce it to everyone!

Depending on the interest – I will set up some time for the sessions in 30 – 45 minute blocks on an evening or a Sunday.

I can also schedule as needed …

I am offering three different locations in Mansfield …

1. The Farmer in the Dell – even though it’s abandoned it makes for a great backdrop.

2. Mansfield University – the campus is BEAUTIFUL with lots of locations we can use.

3. Downtown Mansfield – mostly the alley behind Strohecker Vision.

It will be a 30 minute session per family – $70.

Each session will receive a disc of photos for reproduction.

Each 30 minute session will be for immediate family – mom, dad, and the kiddos.

We can add in grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins for an additional price of $25 per family and will have to extend the session somewhat.

You can add on CHRISTMAS CARDS – 50 – 4 x 8 cards for $50.

You can also order a book  of your session – we offer 3 different sizes –

Soft cover – 20 page – 7 x 9 book – $50

Hard cover – 20 page – 8 x 8 book – $75

Hard cover – 20 page – 12 x 12 book – $125

Email me @ dcbarden@gmail.com if you are interested!

Sunday night we had dinner with Johna and her family after the photo session and watched the fireworks!

I will have to take time next year to try out firework photography!

Mansfield held their 4th of July parade on Saturday – our church had a float again and Jared dressed up as Rovercomer!

I took some quick family photos at Ives Run before the fireworks!

I love those girls!
