The Last Days of Three...

This Mama and I go WAY back! We worked together at my very first job right out of high school when I was the ripe old age of 18!! These days we happen to share a best friend and I’m so happy that her sweet family is still in my life 15 years later! ;) We went out to document their family as it is now because it will be changing in just a short few months and let me tell you, Miss R was a BLAST! She was a posing fool for me and I was absolutely in heaven! Thank you so much for picking me to forever freeze your family at this time in photographs! I am honored!

The P family

The P family is new to Melibelle and oh my goodness, did we have a blast! Miss E and I hit it off right off the bat!! Around halfway through she was so gracious to share her accessories with me and I was rockin’ her bracelet and necklace! Mom was also so kind to let me take her brand spanking new love outside and brave it in the sticker burrs...let me tell you, it was so worth it! These are some of my all time favorite newborn portraits EVER! You have probably guessed that I loved my time with the P family..thank you for allowing me to document this special time for your family!

Tea parties, tutu's & cowboy boots... what more is there in life?

This particular session got changed at the very LAST MINUTE... as in the night before! We came up with this new plan and BOY OH BOY am I EVER glad we did! Miss M and I go back a long way, so I'm always SOOOO happy to photograph her and all her beauty! Let me tell you, I had no clue how this crazy tea party idea I concocted was going to turn out! I just knew that with this beauty and some good ole' imagination, it had to turn out amazing...and did it ever! I adore and I mean ADORE every single portrait that I took this day! Mom and I worked hard and it was HOOOOT, but so worth it! :) Thanks again Kerri for allowing me to document your little angel in every stage of life!

my favorite from the day!!

How do I get so lucky?

Is there any way that I could be more blessed than having this amazing career with these wonderful clients? I think not! I have been so fortunate as to photograph this sweet family twice!! You can see their last year's session blogged about here. I must say that nothing pleases me more than when families choose me to capture their life again and again! There is no bigger compliment! As always, I was honored to be a part of your fun family, Kristin! Although we had to work a little harder this year, I think it was completely worth it!!! Your beautiful babies were captured in their true sweet selves and I adore each photograph!!! :)

A picture is worth a thousand words right?

If that is truly the case, these make up pictures should add up to a billion words! I'm so sorry that I have been out of the blog loop for awhile, but I hope you follow the Melibelle Facebook... I'm always uploading sneak peeks over there! :) Enjoy this little catch up! :)

First up my Niece!

And back to yet ANOTHER Sr!!! :) and her sister and daddy!

i LOVE that she rocked her converse in this photograph... my kinda girl! :)


Some more newborn lovies!



Swift family are new friends to Melibelle and they were a blast!!



This e-session was a blast! IT's my cousin and her man... can't wait until the wedding. I won't be the photographer b/c I'm in it... and it's going to be a blast! :)



My amazingly talented step-daughters dance portraits for 2010!




And this sweet little man I've had the pleasure of photographing twice before... once in his mommy's belly and when he was a newborn! Now he's about to turn one!

flowers and sweet sweet toddlers

This sweet girl came to Melibelle through a referral from one of my favorite little men, which is the HIGHEST compliment I can get from my clients & friends! Needless to say, I was honored to take Miss K's photos one sunny beautiful day at the arboretum. She was the bell of the ball so to speak... everyone that walked by had to stop and interact with her and gush about how sweet and cute she was. She was the most well behaved toddler going as far as Momma telling her to stand here and smile and she actually would!! She's under 2... it was crazy awesome!! :) And lucky for me, they asked me to take little bro's newborn pics, so I got to play with them again a few weeks after these photos where taken! :) I love my job! :)
