Please take a moment to view this gallery.  I know it will make you smile!  Also, if you are thinking of booking a session and need clothing ideas this family is a perfect example of “what to wear”.  They chose bright colors (even though I normally suggest neutrals).  However, the coordination and use of solids and a touch of simple pattern was perfection.  I love that Mom chose a dress too.  It’s just so feminine.   Mom actually sent me pictures of the outfits she had in mind so that I could help her decide.  Remember, I am always here to help!

I am currently booking outdoor family sessions for spring and beyond.  If you are interested in booking a session, contact me soon for more details.  Also, just a few mini sessions left for maternity and baby sessions in March!  See details below.

Thanks for stopping by.   Have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much, Terah and Cedar for asking me to document this special time for you. It was so nice to finally meet you too.  I can’t wait to see your little one soon!

Know you what it is to be a child?…
It is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief;
it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear,
it is to turn pumpkins into coaches,
and mice into horses,
lowness into loftiness,
and nothing into everything,
for each child has its fairy godmother in its soul.

– Francis Thompson

I schedule newborns at anytime throughout the year. Please email me at melissa@melissacorcoranphoto.com or use the contact form on my main website if you are interested in booking a session.

Please remember that I only take a limited number of sessions each month so I tend to book 2-3 months in advance.  I will book on a first come, first serve basis. My summer sessions will begin booking in May.   Oh summer….  I can hardly wait. It truly is my favorite time for photography sessions. That warm evening light is magical!

And if you haven’t visited the main website lately, you will notice a different look and updated photos! I am still trying to update it completely from last year’s sessions. I’m getting there… slowly but surely. All the big plans I had for the holiday “break” got a bit sidelined with other fun, family stuff. But I’m getting back to it now. So, go check it out if you have a free moment. And feel free to comment here to tell me what you think. I ♥ me some comments!

As you move into 2010, remember to pick up your camera and snap everyday moments of your kids while they are young. Nothing moves me more than sitting and looking through old photographs and albums from when I was growing up.   I love the silly things like hairstyles, clothing,  the cars my parents drove. But mostly, I love seeing who we were – who our family was and the moments we spent together.    Many things have changed as the years have come and gone, but the love of family has always been there.

Just looking at the pictures of my babies from the past 12 months makes me all too weepy.     I wanted to share a few (ok…a lot) with you here tonight.  Some of these are ones you may have seen  before but they are some of my favorites.

What a wonderful year! Thank you to all of my wonderful clients and blog followers.  2009 has been an incredible year  and here’s to an even more beautiful 2010.

Love,

I asked them if I could post their parent profile on my blog.  You just never know who might be reading this or who may know someone.  If you have a chance,  I would love for you to read about my sweet friends and their hope for a baby here.

I sat down last night and read their words. I have so much hope, knowing that somewhere there is a baby for them… a little miracle who is going to be so lucky to have such amazing parents. Curtis and Mary, I can’t wait for you both to hear that pitter-patter.

I hope that as my children grow up, they will be surrounded by the love of family.    We are so lucky to be together, to be loved by each other  – every minute a blessing.

And through the chaos and the noise of life, I actually was lucky to catch them together with my camera the other day. My sweet babies – healthy and happy, loving on each other.  Does it get any better than that?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I am fortunate to have many newborns coming up in the next few months.  So be prepared for an overload of newborn cuteness in my coming blog posts.   And because no post is complete without a photo, here are a few of Miss Maddy from just last week.

Thanks everyone!
