THE BEAUTIFUL WINNERS from 2016!
Angie and her little girl – a story of love and redemption!
Love – is different than you’d think – it’s never in a song – or on a TV screen. And love – is harder than a word – said at the right time – and everything’s alright. Love is different than you’d think. – that’s from a Caedmon’s Call song – but OH SO FITTING!
OH MY HEART!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!
Sherry – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to come back year after year! I’ll see you in a couple months!
OH MY HEART! LOOK AT HER SMILE!
Cindy – I just LOVE your family! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
This sweet little girl – OH MY WORD! Usually – as soon as she sees me – she just smiles ear-to-ear!
Rachel – thank you SO MUCH for trusting my vision and asking me to record these moments for your family!
And because I’m just now catching up on blogging – you’ll be seeing this sweet face again for her SECOND birthday!
LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FACE!
JACK JACK – I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Your momma and daddy aren’t too bad either!
I first met Arica when she was pregnant with this little guy!
Arica – I cannot believe that our babies are 5! Well – at this point – closer to 6!
So – if you didn’t know this – I LOVE PIZZA! It’s my favorite food and has been for as long as I can remember!
We especially LOVE the pizza right down the road from us – PAPA V’S!! Ashley’s dad owns the restaurant and since we are regulars – we’ve gotten quite comfortable with the family! I’ve taken their pictures for the last few years – and was SO excited to meet up with Ashley for her senior session!
GORGEOUS!
LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!
FIERCE!
Some of my FAVORITE shots! EVER!
ASHLEY – you are AWESOME! Thanks so much for indulging my artistic side and letting me experiment with some shots!
Whatever you do – DO IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART!
Aren’t they ADORABLE!
Lyndsay – I love photographing your family! Thank you so much for asking me to capture your first year as a family of FIVE!
*C* was only 3 months here – but next month I’ll be taking her YEAR photos!
TAKE TWO with little *L* – it didn’t seem like it was starting out great –
I mean – ADORABLE! BUT – how many shots can I take in the back of the car?
Quite a few – it turns out!
She warmed up quicker this time!
SERIOUSLY!
So – about 20 – it turns out! However – they worked and are SO SWEET!
I don’t know if you know this about me – but the pictures I blog and put on FACEBOOK are my favorites from the session – you get LOTS more when you get the full session back!
*L* – you are such a DOLL!!!
Arica – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to give you these memories! YOU ARE AWESOME!
It’s time for BEAUTIFUL again! This is the 8th year I’ve ran this contest – and I LOVE IT!
I will be awarding 1 family a photo session!
Email me @ dcbarden@gmail.com – write a paragraph or two about a family you know that deserves a FREE photo session.
I will be choosing 1 family from the entries and announce the winner on March 1st. The deadline for the submissions will be February 28th. I need to hear from 10 people to make this contest work!!
Make sure to tell me WHAT MAKES THEIR FAMILY BEAUTIFUL.
YOU CANNOT SUBMIT YOUR OWN FAMILY – but you CAN submit a family that you’ve submitted in the past – as long as they were NOT the winners!
If you were a previous beautiful winner – you can’t win again – sorry bout that!
Also – you MUST use the photo session within 2017!
THIS YEAR – something a little EXTRA will be thrown into the mix!
My sister – Samantha Caamano – has started selling LuLaRoe!!
Make sure to check out her page on FACEBOOK and browse her inventory! You won’t be disappointed!
Every person that submits a family will be entered into a drawing for a FREE pair of leggings!
You can submit as many families as you want!
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!
I challenge you to think about a BIG act of kindness you could participate in this month! AND THEN DO IT!
