Welcome to the world, little baby Lauren.  Your wonderful family has been waiting for you!

Thank you for trusting me with your special family moments, Stephanie and Kyle.  Lauren is just beautiful!

This sweet little man was so anxious to meet his wonderful parents that he entered the world quite early.  By the time he was able to come for his session, he was big and strong and gaining weight like a champ.   So handsome!

Angela Walden: Love the pics of my second cousin

Tracie: I am proud to say that these three beautiful people are my neighbors and my friends. I love you guys. Such sweet pictures!

Allison Rumble: So beautiful! You can see the love.

Her name means of life and love.   A perfect name for such a little miracle.  This world is so blessed to have her in it.

How lucky I am to be able to capture these for you, my friends.  She is so beautiful. Love to you all. xoxo ~ M

Allison Rumble: Gorgeous!!

Oh sweet boy. So tiny, so new. Welcome to the world, little man.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

I have no doubt that you will blaze a trail no matter what you choose to do in life, Miss Aly.  You have got it all together!  You were so much fun  to photograph!  Have a wonderful senior year.  xo ~ M.C.

Dana Chrysler: Beautiful work, Melissa. I've been one of your Facebook fans for awhile and finally decided to come out of lurking mode. I'm just getting started in photography (this last year), and you inspire me!

Kylie, it was such a treat to get to photograph you!   You were one of my sweetest first grade students and I can see that have grown into a wonderful young woman.  I hope you have a fabulous senior year and I wish you all the best in whatever you choose to do in the future! Much love to you! xoxo ~ M.C.

Allison Rumble: Wow, such a gorgeous session! Love the light and processing.
