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.
