There is alot of NEW around here these days. New baby, new home, about to start new school, even our church is sorta new. My favorite photographer was here at the beginning of May and we did a Barna style photo shoot on a Sunday morning. What's Barna-style you ask? Thats when the mom has put NO pre-thought into what her family would wear, nor is she even showered when the shooting begins. Barna-style is when big brother sizes up little brothers outfit and decides its all wrong and then takes him back to his room to change his clothes, brush his teeth and brush down his hair. And I do mean that the big brother did all these things to the little brother. And then the big brother presents his creation and the moment is captured as one of our favorite portraits ever. Barna-style is for a little girl to. never. sit. still. Barna-style is to rarely pose for a picture because half of us, including me, barely have the attention span to do so. Barna-style is for the mom and dad to sit choked up over these beautiful portraits, seeing them for the first time.
My favorite photographer says that its her job to show us the beauty in our lives. You did sweet friend, you did. In the midst of all this beauty and newness we can feel like we are drowning, but oh, how beautiful it all is.

barna style works with my style... this choked me up my dear friend.
xo.
These are beautiful. Beautiful and true. (And it seems to me that that is what art is about.)
I'm so, so sad we didn't also book a session when Katie was here. (Like how I say that like I know her, too, even though we met and talked maybe once?) Maybe I can hope she'll be back before we're gone...
she'll be back kristen...
