*J* contacted me about a month ago after seeing the pictures I took of *C* and her girls that she has displayed at her hair salon. *J* has two daughters and 3 grandsons and wanted a family picture around Thanksgiving – Friday worked out perfectly since I had the day off at the clinic.

The *B* family was so nice to welcome me into their home and their lives – I look forward to seeing them in the spring for their next shoot.

What a great family! Thanks again guys – I had a great time with your family.

I posted the new clothing I have for barden photography – I also got a banner for the BRIDAL EXPO – I got all the products from a local shop – Mansfield Embroidery. I wish they had a website so I could link them – anyway – I highly recommend their services. When I was shopping around for a banner and shirts – I walked into ME and the owner asked me what I needed on the banner – once I told her barden photography – she asked if I would be available to photograph her son that Saturday for his senior pictures – she had never seen my work – didn’t know my prices – but hired me nonetheless. I hadn’t even anticipated to get anywhere with a banner or shirts – let along get a senior picture session out of the inquiry. I was so excited that I ordered with her without shopping around – small businesses have to help each other out right?

Today I thought I would take a chance and see if the shop owner would display my work. I have a 20 x 30 collage of 4 senior girls that looks AMAZING – that I really wanted to display somewhere – but I couldn’t think of where.

Most of the school’s business runs through ME – so I thought what better place? I also ordered a 16 x 20 collage of her son’s senior pictures to put in the shop – if she would let me. I emailed her this morning and she quickly responded – YES of course. I ran home at lunch and dropped off the print of the girls and some business cards – she said her hubbie would be in later to hang it up!

Thank you *S* – I appreciate your kindness and willingness to help me make this dream come true!

My dear friend KT and her boyfriend were in need of some fun pictures and single head shots – we thought the weather would be MUCH nicer – but they stuck it out in the wind and cold to get some awesome shots.

Oh green abandoned car – how I love you.

KT and *C* – you guys were awesome – you guys stuck it out in the cold and wind!

*T* contacted me after seeing my ad in the Pennysaver – YAY! – we had to cancel this session twice ‘cus of the wintery weather – but we finally got it in.

Little *T* is cute and SO active – he pointed out every truck that drove by. *T* and *K* – I had a great time – thanks so much.

Don’t forget to check out their album at http://bardenphotography.shutterfly.com under *D*.

Right after *A* finished with her senior session she wanted some photos with her son and her sister – his godmother.

They are gorgeous girls …

Little *C* is so cute.

*A* – I had such a great time with you and your son and sister. You are a beautiful girl – inside and out. I can’t wait to see your sister for her senior pictures in a few years.

I blogged about our weekend with *M* and *T* – here are a few of my favorite pictures.

Can’t wait to see which one you guys pick for your cards!

The *D* family had me take their pictures a few weeks ago – so they might look familiar. Their daughter couldn’t get off work for the shoot but when they got the pictures back they decided they had to make a time to do them with her. I went up last week to shoot them all over again.

I have so MANY from this shoot that I would like to post – but visit http://bardenphotography.shutterfly.com and look at the *D* family book and *D* animals book.

Thanks again *D* family – see you next summer for senior pictures!

Little *E* turned 1 this week.

Such a sweet little guy.

The *D* family and their respective “pets” …

Last Sunday I took some pictures of *C* and her family and horse Jackson – which I posted earlier. *C* keeps her horse at the *D* family’s house with their horses – so *R* had asked that I do a family photo shoot while I was there. *R* and her hubby have three sons and a daughter – their daughter wasn’t able to make it to the shoot so we are taking some more pictures tomorrow night – depending on the weather. Here are my favorites from last week –

Thanks *D* family – I had a GREAT time.
