Old friends and new life!!~ baby!!!


This was a real treat!!! I have not seen Stephanie almost since we graduated high school 10 years ago.......she has since been married to the man of her dreams and most recently had created a brand new life and welcomed their baby daughter, Madaline to the world with open arms and lots of love. Madeline is 10 weeks old and yesterday, Steph and I caught up on times, told stories of the last ten years in each others lives and I was fortunate enough to spend a little time with baby Madeline!!

Here are a couple of images from yesterday. Isn't she beautiful!!!!!!

Steph...I couldn't be more happy for you!! Madeline is more precious than any words I could ever say!! You are a beautiful mother and I wish you the absolute best!!!! and yes......more times to catch up on life is a must!! :)


...for the photog's out there.....I shot all of these with the Canon Mark III, and I used all prime lenses....the 85mm 1.2, the 100 2.8 macro and the 50mm 1.4. I shot everything between 1.2-2.8 ;)

.....the spiky hair.......wild child!!!! :)


I just love little fingers and hands..and bellies!!!!






with gratitude, Melissa

The TUTU project | DAY 1


WOW!!! The TUTU project is underway and things are going....as they go. WONDERFULLY!!! Kids will be kids and that's what I love about them..

Children are real. Their emotions are real. Their enjoyment is true.

I think we can all take lessons from the little people in our lives, open our hearts wider, and just breathe.

Here are just 3 shots from a couple of sessions today...more later! We have a very busy weekend...and more to blog!

wishing you a very lovely weekend, and remember to take time to open your heart this weekend and let it all in!!





with gratitude,
Melissa
