I met Mary on FACEBOOK last year. She had been praying for a second baby – and praying and praying – so I prayed with her.

She lives in NJ but wanted me to take photos of her family when she found out little *H* was on her way!

We met in Binghamton on a beautiful Sunday morning and found a great spot!

OH MY WORD! This little girl was so chatty and so sweet!

LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS! She is so precious!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Mary – thank you SO much for coming all this way to meet me! I am looking forward to watching your little girls grow this year!

I can’t believe that I’ve been taking photos of Lucas since before he was even here!

I love my . babies . babies . babies . clients – but the year just FLIES by!

He reminds me SO much of Fitzy!

FOUR GENERATIONS!

SUCH A CUTIE!

It’s been an AWESOME year with your guys! I can’t wait to see you again in November!

I’ve known Karen for a long time – they used to live down the road from my parents!

Her mom got her a family session for Christmas and we couldn’t have asked for a better day!

The last time I saw these kids they were tiny!

Karen – thank you so much for opening your home to me! It was so nice to see you guys!

I posted earlier about my friend Jen – from college. It’s so exciting to reconnect with old friends!

We got together a while ago – after their session – and I had to snap just a few more of her sweet family!

SWEETEST!

I LOVE that last shot of you guys!

I can’t wait for the next time we get together!

Hannah is such a sweet girl! I loved getting to know her at our session!

She is very interested in gardening and landscaping! Thankfully – my in-laws are too!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

That last shot is one of my favorites!

Hannah – thank you so much for asking me to take your senior photos! Good luck in college!

I met Rachel when little *S* was still inside her tummy! She is one of my favorite kiddos to photograph – she has SO much expression in her little face!

I love love LOVE those shots – and I couldn’t decide on color or black and white – so you get both!

OH MY HEART!

If I didn’t already have a wall covered in canvas – I would be getting that image on the right – in a 20 x 30! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Rachel – thank you so much for welcoming me into your lives over the past two years – I look forward to our next session!

This might be my favorite senior session. Ever.

The best part is – I boosted the color a little – lightened them up a little – and BAM!

PERFECTION!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

BOOST – LIGHTEN – that is all natural! Such a GREAT location!

Zoe – thank you SO much for asking me to take your senior photos! I had a GREAT time!

I met Heather either on FACEBOOK or at one the of ARNOT MALL BRIDAL EXPOS – I’m not sure now!

They’ve been married 3 years and are expecting a sweet baby boy!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

Heather & Melvin – I had a GREAT time with you guys! I cannot wait to see that handsome little miracle of yours!

I love love LOVE senior sessions – I don’t have many scheduled for this year and that makes me a little sad!

Cheyenne won my free senior session at the career day drawing a few years ago!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Cheyenne – thanks again for having me! I had a GREAT time! Good luck this year and with your future adventures!

I met Katie through her cousin Ashley – who I met on FACEBOOK! I’ve been looking forward to this wedding ALL YEAR!

Adam Murtland was my AWESOME second shooter! He spent the day with the guys while I hung out with the girls! I HIGHLY recommend hiring a second shooter at your wedding! Once you see the photos – you’ll know why!

Any photos with the barden photography text on them WITHOUT my db logo – are ones that Adam shot and I edited. The rest are all mine.

This post is gonna be a long one – so sit tight!

LOVE those shots of the guys!

Some of my FAVORITE ring shots!

Special moments …

OH MY WORD! I LOVE these photos!

Right before the ceremony started – a feather drifted to the ground in the aisle!

I love that last shot Adam caught!

AMAZING!

GORGEOUS!

LOVE THAT SHOT!

SERIOUSLY!

Chris & Katie – thank you SO much for asking me to spend the day with you!

Adam – thank you SO much for being the best second shooter a girl could ask for!
