That sweet little girl!

They wanted to recreate a photo from their childhood!!

Desiree – thank you so much for asking me to photograph your family! I hope to see you all again SOON!

Desiree emailed me asking about extended family photos because it had been WAY too long!!

A mom with her 2 boys. I needed to get a picture of that – because I really hope my boys will indulge me and get a picture with me when they’re grown!

Heather – THANK YOU so much for asking me into your lives each year! It means more than you’ll ever know!

I’ve been taking photos for Stephanie & her family for over 10 years!!

Those sweet faces!!

Those sweet moments with her littlest. The baby.

Enoch graduated KINDERGARTEN this year!

At first we thought that only Jared & I would be able to attend but then we found out that he could bring 10 guests!!

He read a story about a wet goat!

He counted to 100 by 5’s!

He did a report on bees & where they live & how they sleep & what they eat!

He told his teacher a secret – but he doesn’t whisper very well!!

Mom-mom & Bacca came!! Pa & GG came!!

His teachers – they ARE amazing women! And Mara came too!

BARDEN BROTHERS!!

Enoch. Your name means dedicated. And you are VERY dedicated. You are a ball of energy. You ask ALL the questions. You help. You feel all the feelings.

I’ve loved watching you grow and change this year!!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
