Emily | Class of 2009

I had the pleasure of working with Emily yesterday.  She is super sweet and it was great to talk with her and get to know her better.  She is so excited about her Senior year and starting a new chapter in college next fall! 

She is also one of my Senior Spokesmodels, so you will be seeing more of her SOON!  Ü  If you go to JCS, be sure to ask Emily about how to get in touch with me.  She will have some special savings cards to give out SOON! DSC_3018_email

Kayla H. | sneak Peak

Two Kayla’s in one day!  This Kayla happens to hold a special place in my heart.  She is good friends with my oldest and I just love her to pieces!

Collin | sneak peak

Collin is one of the funniest boys I think I have ever photographed.  He is all him, all the time!  I knew he would want to see one of these… (BTW, I LOVE this shot and think the added texture really fits the image well)!

Kayla | sneak peak

It was soooooo hard to just pick two images to show from this session.  I could show you A LOT more, but this is it for now.  ;-)  I had soooo much fun photographing Kayla.  She is such a natural in front of the camera.  I can’t wait to do more of her in the future!

Brooke is one of my FAVORITE clients.  I have had the pleasure of photographing her before and just LOVE her to pieces!  She totally ROCKED this session.  I will have more to share SOON on the new site when it launches in a week or so.

I have been SWAMPED with sessions lately, but am trying to hold off on sharing until the new site launches.  Please bear with me.  It will be worth the wait!  Ü

Laura + Jimmie | coffee table book

I have decided that I need to post some complete wedding album designs to this blog.  I know clients love to see them.  We custom design each album to fit the couple’s personalities and wedding.  Some are more colorful and contemporary, where others are more formal and traditional.  We work closely with the couple to determine what style and feel they want for their album. 

Here is Jimmie and Laura’s.  Their wedding was just sooo full of color that I wanted the design to have a splash of color also!  LOVE this couple!!!

To view their whole album design, click here… http://www.sharibarnes.com/blog/?page_id=527

A side note… be sure to check out Jimmie’s band at www.spur58.com!  They are suppose to be sending me an autographed CD, I can’t wait to get it!!   "Ready To Love" is one of my favorite songs!  I listen to it a lot while I am editing!

I love my clients…

One of the little perks I get in my business is meeting lots of wonderful couples!  I love how so many of my friends are previous clients of mine.  If you have followed my blog very long, or gotten to know me, you would know that I LOVE note cards.  Any kind too.  I have recently gotten some SWEET packages from a few of my couples just as a "thank you" gift for shooting their wedding.  How sweet is that!!!

Michelle and Chris sent me these… LOVE the black and white!  I am SUCH a big fan of anything black and white!
