Here you will see images of my wonderful clients and a bit of personal stuff too! I love photography, sweets and Dr. Pepper. My specialities are Maternity and Newborn portraits, but I love babies, families and weddings too. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you come back soon.
Mr Mason is back for his 6 mo session. We met at the Dallas Arboretum for a fall mini session. It was packed, but we found a few spots with less people. Mason did great, full of smiles and cute expressions. I couldn’t take my red car in, but we found a cool spot by the parking lot. He looked so cute in the car and seemed to love it. I can’t wait to see him again soon.
It’s finally starting to feel alittle like fall. This year I’m doing mini sessions for all of Oct. and Nov. These sessions are great for just about anything and a great way to get a few holiday pictures for cards or gifts. $150 includes a 45min. session and 10-12 images on CD. They can be booked anytime in Oct. and Nov. and can be at my studio or on-location. And the awesome red pedal car will be available for sessions in Oct. and maybe Nov. too. I’m borrowing it from my sister’s father in law. My boys loved it and it looks great in photos. Email me at melissa@melissadphotos.com for more info and to book.
Meet Brandon, his cute big brother and his gorgeous parents. He did great for his session. Slept almost the whole time and let us move him from prop to prop and mold and pose him perfectly. I got to try out a few new poses and I loved the way they turned out. I could see them huge hanging on the wall. Definitely a piece of art. I have alot of favs to share and I can’t wait to see everyone again soon.
Mr. Trenton came to me to celebrate turning one. He was very shy and took awhile to warm up. But Dad was able to get some smiles until he warmed up to me. By the end he was acting like his normal, cute, rowdy self. We got a good combo of outside, studio and ended with a cake smash. He didn’t really eat his cake, but did play in it some before he was done. We got some really cute images and hopefully next time he won’t be as shy.
Meet Carolyn, Michael, Sam and the new baby surprise inside that cute little belly. Carolyn booked me for a newborn session then her hubby suggested she get a maternity session too. I’m glad she did and I’m sure she’ll be glad too. Unfortunatly Sam didn’t like the studio light, but did great outside. And atleast if that happens again it’s warm enough to shoot a newborn outside. I think it takes the right kind of person to keep the gender a surprise. I could never do it, but think it’s really cool for the couples who do. I can’t wait to find out, but I know either one will be adorable!
Kirsten, Jeff and Blake came to me to document Blake recently turning one. We started outside, but decided pretty quickly we were done with the heat and bugs. So we finished up inside my very cool studio. Blake did great. He really loved to knock his cowboy hat off, so we got a few great smiles doing it over and over. And we ended the session with a few of just mom and dad, because Blake is soon to be a big brother. I can’t wait to meet their new little guy soon.
Meet McCartney, Sam and Jason. I met them at their apartment in Deep Ellum for a lifestyle session. McCartney is about 7mo old, a great age for portraits. Sitting up really good, but not quite crawling yet. She did awesome. So happy and full of smiles. The original plan was to explore Deep Ellum a bit, but it was just way too hot. So we took some outside in their courtyard and then quickly went back inside where it’s was cool. I had a great time and hope to see you guys again soon.
Meet Lyssa, her hubby, and their adorable boys Trip and Cooper. This was a session to celebrate family and being together. To cherish every moment they have together. Cooper has Hydrocephalus and Cerebral Palsy and will need brain surgery to help relieve the fluid and pressure off of his brain. Lyssa contacted me to get a family session asap and after hearing about Cooper I knew just how important this session was and decided to gift her the session and images. She’s one strong Mama and definately deserved it. So we met at the Botanic Gardens in Ft. Worth and had alot of fun. Her boys did great, even though they were alittle sleepy. I know she can’t wait to see these pictures and I can’t wait to show her the rest.
It’s spring. Or atleast the little amount of spring we actually get here in Texas. So I’ve decided to offer mini sessions again. But this time they will last alittle longer and have a few more images included. $150 includes a 45min session with 12 images on CD. Great for a variety of sessions, babies, families, toddlers, maternity, ect. Sessions can be in my studio or on-location. Book anytime in May. Email for more info. melissa@melissadphotos.com
