Baby Braxton - ADORABLE

2009-08-18T10:04:00.000-07:00

This little man was such a joy to photograph. I had a wonderful time with this new family during our shoot. Braxton slept the entire time! Amazing. I am usually a color photographer, but I fell in love with most of the black and whites from this session.

Hope you guys love your sneak peek! Enjoy!

Can't decide which of these two I like better...color or black and white?

Ross and Elizabeth - Thank you for letting me be your photographer. I had so much fun with y'all, and I can't wait to meet little Braxton. He is one lucky little man! I hope you LOVE your sneak peek!

Thought I would throw in a black and white for Ross! ;-)

ABOUT MELANIE

2006-04-08T16:17:00.001-07:00

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I am guessing that since you are reading this little section "about me" that you are wondering who I am. So, here is a little background information about me.

I am a wife to the most amazing man and the love of my life. I am mom to 3 amazing children who are all under the age of 5, and I serve the LORD who makes my joy complete! I am blessed beyond comprehension. I get to be at home with my kids and pursue photography.

I love people. I enjoy getting to know you as a family when I take your pictures. I love getting to capture the sweet expressions, mischief, and curiosity on a child's face. I love weddings and commitment. It's such a privilege to watch and capture two people committing themselves to each other. Taking a great portrait is capturing the in between moments that show personality and style. In my pictures, I hope that you see personality more than you see posed subjects. Photography is my passion. I love my job!

I hope that you learned a little about me. Please feel free to email me with any questions. I am pretty flexible, so if you have questions about fees, packages, etc. let me know. I am always willing to work with you! Here is my email address: selahportraits@live.com
