Testimonials

Why did you choose me for your senior pictures?: Pictures have always been a HUGE love of mine. More like obsession. I can never have enough of them. When my daughter entered high school, I started following photographers all around and narrowing them down to my favorites over the next couple of years. You have this uniqueness about you. Your pictures I viewed were gorgeous, fun and just different. You have a real eye for creating jaw dropping images that I said “It HAS to be Barbara!!” How did you feel during the session? Was it fun or stressful?: There was NO stress involved. You made Mariah feel like a star. You were very laid back, patient, listened to our ideas and offered your own along the way. We laughed and had so much fun during the shoots. Watching you wade through the water or laying in the middle of tall weeds and not thinking a thing - just showed how much you love doing this. We looked forward to it each time. What do you think of your images?: OH. MY. GOSH! I look at them all the time. I show them all the time. I am simply in love. I have a big cheesy smile every time I see them. You gave us exactly what we’ve been wanting out of senior pictures. They are stunning! 3 words to describe your images / session: Breathtaking, Unique, Priceless What did you like about your ordering appointment? Can improve that process in any way? : I loved how you didn’t make us feel rushed or pressured into anything. We were able to take our time viewing them. You worked with us on how we could get the most for our money. Would you recommend my services to friends and family? Why/why not?: Yes, yes, yes!!! I have already recommended you numerous times. AND I have 2 more kids that will be a senior over the next few years and I can’t wait to do this again with you. I don’t even have to stalk photographers for them! Any other comments, suggestions, questions?: I am still jumping up and down with excitement over our images. You truly have given us a gift that will last our lifetime. I couldn’t be more happy. You make my heart smile! Shannon - Mariah’s mom

[ three words to describe your experience ] Fun, Memorable, Adventurous [ the session experience ] It was a lot of fun. Barbara is very relaxed which made it so easy. She was game for whatever ideas Ragan had. The entire session was an experience to remember! [ the images ] Top quality!!!! Professional! Barbara caught the inward and outward beauty of Ragan. [ the order ] It was simple. Barbara was well prepared, not pushy to purchase. The process and presentation was amazing. [ would you recommend BND? ] Most definitely! Your approach to being creative and also caring about what Ragan wanted was amazing! Marty - Ragan’s Mom

Mason had several friends that chose you and their photos were amazing! Graduating high school is a big accomplishment and I knew you would be able to capture Mason as his true self. [ The experience ] Before the first session Mason was extremely nervous and informed me he was only doing this for me. Very soon after the first session started, he looked at me and said this is kinda fun! You made all of us (including Lauren) laugh and feel totally comfortable. [ The images ] Beautiful. Authentic. Memorable. They are amazing and without a doubt capture Mason for who he is. [ The order ] You didn’t pressure us. All the photos sold themselves. But you are so open, we very much appreciate you! You didn’t shy away from anything we requested and we enjoyed all the sessions! We just want you to know how much these photos mean to us. You were so much fun and we look forward to another session in a few years. Thank you Barbara!!!! Tracy - Mason’s mom, 2019 MOD Squad

The first session I did was scary because getting my picture taking was so nerve racking for me. I was the kid at school who never got a good picture taken because I always looked just awkward. But these sessions were so much fun and all the awkwardness and fear I had felt completely melted away. I had never felt so comfortable in front of a camera before now, the whole time of my session was full of laughter and fun. I was looking forward to the rest of my sessions and I was really sad when I had reached my last one. I LOVE MY IMAGES. I couldn’t have wished for anything better because they are so amazing! Anytime I show them to anyone I always get told I could be a model and I get told how beautiful I am. I am absolutely in love with all my pictures! I can’t stop looking at them, and honestly, if I could I would make myself my phone wallpaper. I think they were done so wonderfully and I really got such amazing photos. These photos really mean a lot to me and I am very grateful for how lovely they turned out. I’ve bragged about you and my photos to anyone that would listen. You’re really willing to go the extra mile to get a good picture and I really value that (and your pictures are just really great). I’m just really glad that I signed up to be apart of your MOD Squad. I was so scared to apply for it, but I couldn’t be more thankful that I did. Sydney - 2018 MOD Squad

When I contacted you, you were very quick to respond and during our initial conversation, I knew you would be great to work with and that your personality fit our family. When you asked if Syd would be interested in joining the MOD Squad, I honestly thought that she would say no because it would be too far out of her comfort zone. I’m so glad I was wrong. Not only has she completely enjoyed this experience, she had gained confidence from it. We are so thankful for you and what you captured in our Sydney. The images show her at her best, but they still look like my Sydney, which was very important to us. [ the session experience ] You made it so fun! Sydney felt so comfortable working with you and loved the entire process. Your laid back personality is perfect and your artistic eye is amazing. [ the images ] We love them all! You did an amazing job capturing Sydney’s true beauty in all the things she loves and values. We also appreciate that you were open to our ideas and made them even better than we envisioned. Just this week, I came across the screen shot of the image I showed you of the girl laying on top of all the sheet music. The images you captured are so much better than that initial idea. You truly have a gift! [ the order ] You captured so many beautiful images, but the process you used during the order session made it a lot easier to narrow down to our absolute favorites and must haves. Also I will never be able to listen to Taylor Swift’s Never Grow Up with remembering that moment and looking at all of those beautiful pictures of my first born. Syd continues to talk about how happy she is that you are her senior photographer. She’s not one to boast or brag too much, but she has told me several times, after seeing some of her friends pictures who went with different photographers, that she still likes hers the most. That is huge coming from someone who doesn’t look to be the center of the attention. The entire experience has really been great for her confidence. I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience. We are so happy to have found you and gotten to know you. We appreciate all the extra opportunities you offer such as the Traveling Dress Project. We look forward to continuing to work with you through those experiences. Thank you so much for giving us so many amazing images that we will forever treasure. Angie - Sydney’s mom

My daughter had seen your pictures on Instagram and really liked your work so she applied for the ModSquad. [ The experience ] You made it comfortable, fun, and very easy for Avery to be herself. We loved the way you showed us pictures during the shoot so we could see what they were looking like. [ The images ] Amazing, Artistic, Fun Amazing! We LOVE them! [ The order ] We loved the video and how patient you were with our decision making. There were so many good pictures it was extremely hard to pick! Also loved the way you worked with me after the appointment when I decided we needed more! It was an amazing experience all around! Angela - Avery’s mom, 2019 MOD Squad

BND: Why did you choose me for your senior pictures? HH: Because your pictures are unique and help bring out who the person you are photographing’s, personality. That’s what I believe makes you 10x better than the rest. BND: How did you feel during the session? Was it fun or stressful? HH: SUPER FUN. You made every session so much fun. I never wanted to quit shooting, no matter how hungry I was. BND: What do you think of your images? HH: I love how they all bring out exactly who I am. I couldn’t be more happy with them. BND: Would you recommend my services to friends and family? HH: Most definitely. You make everything fun, and help accomplish all the pictures that I envisioned and wanted. You don’t disappoint. BND: Any other comments, suggestions, questions?: HH: I love everything that you did I can’t thank you enough!!” Hallie 2018 MOD Squad

I wanted a senior experience for Katie and not just the same pictures I could go out and get at any other time from any other photographer. I saw other pictures you had taken on Facebook and loved them! They were individualized and unique, like the seniors they represented. I felt you would be the perfect choice to capture beautiful and yet edgy images that represent Katie...and you did just that! I never felt stressed about any session. The most stress was deciding which clothes to wear! You were great & had it all figured out & yet still listened when I had suggestions or comments. Words cannot adequately express how I feel about these images! I knew they would be good, but these go beyond every expectation that I had! I’ve said this before, anyone can take a picture, many have the ability to take good pictures, but it truly takes someone special to do what you have done over & over again! I absolutely would recommend you to all my family and friends. The sessions were fun, the artistry is out of this world, and the quality is second to none. Lori - Katie’s Mom, 2018 MOD Squad

[ the session experience ] The sessions were so much fun! I was nervous at first that I would be unsure of what to do and my pictures would not turn out how I would like them. After my first session I was so relieved. You were so helpful and so fun that it made taking pictures feel so natural and easy! Each session was so different from the last and I loved every minute! [ the images ] Each image is so unique and I know I will look back on these pictures for years to come and fall in love every time. You create images to fit everyone’s own personal style and help your clients every step of the way. [ the order ] It relieved a lot of the stress of ordering by having your help and input on what to choose. I would definitely recommend Barb to everyone! Barb gets to know you which helps her create images unique to your style. She is so fun and is never afraid to try something new. I wanted a photographer to capture my personality and Barb did exactly that! She listened to what I liked and based her images around this. Emily 2018 MOD Squad
