Here are a couple from May 17-18th

Here are some pictures from this past weekend:

This is Harrison and he is 9 months old. I can't believe how much he has grown since he first came to me as a newborn!
This is Garrison..I had two little ones with rhyming names this weekend, how cute is that? He was a very happy baby and behaved very well for us the whole time! He is only 3 months old, can you believe it?

New Idea

From now on I am going to try to post 2-3 pictures from each weekend session by Monday. That will give everyone a little sneak peak at their pictures! Here are some of the recents sessions:

Baby Contest Winners

Hi everyone,

I wanted to announce the winners of the baby contest! Let me say that the contest was VERY close!! Meet the winners: Julia in the non sitting babies category and Mya in the sitting babies category. CONGRATS to both!





In other news, I have been extremely busy signing up first year program clients! I love to watch all the little ones grow. I am also in the process of completely redoing my website to look a little more fun. There will be a lot more information for everyone on there as well.

My New Plan

Hello! I know that I haven't posted any of the pictures that I promised, but I have been busy, busy, busy with editing the pictures from my recent sessions. I had 5 this past weekend, which is quite a lot. They were all children 4 years old and younger and after the weekend I have decided that I would like to focus more on babies and children. I really enjoy everything that comes with them. I love the props I can use, I love their little personalities and I even love doing all the funny things to try to get them to smile and laugh. I have especially enjoyed my First Year Program (I need a catchier name) because now that I seen some of those babies 2 and 3 times, they just get cuter with each session and they start to really develop their personalities.

I am still working on the baby contest. So far I have about 6 entrants with more people telling me that they were going to enter. Hopefully I will get a few more in there. I can't wait until that weekend. A whole weekend with babies to take pictures of!! I promise to get some recent pictures up soon! At least I am doing better on the writing part!

Cutest Baby Contest

Hello all,

I am trying to do really well in keeping up with my vow to write more so here I am again. I have been busy, busy, busy with little ones! In March I am going to have a Cutest Baby Contest. Details can be found at www.melissaannephotography.com\babycontest I am very excited about meeting all the new cuties and seeing some of my regulars between their normal sessions. This weekend I worked on a couple of Valentine's Day shoots and also did a cake smash with my sister's best friend's son (boy is that a mouthful). He was so cute but wasn't too intent on sitting still for any before pictures. Once we brough out the cupcake though he warmed up and then dove in. I am going to post some pictures from all the sessions soon! Be sure to check back. I will also post the pictures from the Cutest Baby Contest when that comes around so stay tuned!!

Too Long!!

It has been way too long since I have written. I think that I said that last time too, so sorry again. Things have been great and really busy! I was in Australia in August followed by a busy fall that has carried right over into the new year. I have several people signed up for my first year program now and it is quickly becoming my favorite program. I love to see the little ones grow up! Here are a couple from my most recent sessions:
This is Audrey and this is from her newborn shoot.


Here is my niece Ariyana:




This is little Madeline, isn't she cute. She is such a calm and relaxed baby! This is from her 3 month session:


Coming up next is the Cutest Baby Contest. I will have more details to come but it is going to be the first weekend in March! Thank you all for stopping by. I will definitely try to be better about this.

Babies Galore

Hello, and sorry I have been gone so long lately. Things have been really busy for me and I definitely have not posted as much as I should. One of my really good friends got married a week and a half ago and I was in the wedding which was so much fun!! That same weekend I took some pictures of two of the most adorable babies ever. I will post some of my favorites here.



Hard to believe that the little guy on his stomach is only 4 months old huh. He posed so well and had the most beautiful eyes! The other little guy makes some of the cutest faces you have ever seen and his mother loves to get shots of him that are faces that he makes all the time but she is not able to capture.

I am still working on my pictures from my trip with Craig to Yellowstsone. I started working on them a few weeks ago, but then I had a ton of pictures to edit for clients so the Yellowstone pictures have had to wait. I think that this weekend I will start to work on them again.

I have a client coming for their first shoot on Sunday of their first year program and I can't wait. I love to do this type of shoots because then I get to see the baby grow up right before my eyes!

In other news, I have started a MySpace page. It is not public yet because I am still working on it but I can't believe that I have finally joined the MySpace world :-)

I will try to write more often!! Thanks for stopping by!
