It was 3am this morning as I stumbled down the hall to find my daughter sobbing from sore toes. Growing pains. I tucked her in, sat by her side, and rubbed each individual piggy toe until she went back to sleep. In the quiet hours of the morning, my mind wandered as I peered out...
The last couple weeks, I have had my head in a notebook and hands gripped and glued to a pen. My camera has been ignored and its feelings are hurt. I’ve been exhilarated as I’ve scribbled notes while planning for things that are going to rock my socks off. Seriously, I feel...
Hard for YOU???? Could’ve fooled me! These are beautiful!
P.S. And so is the mom!!!
Nuts, I thought I would be the first to comment. Thanks so much for sharing the lighting and camera settings. This really helped. Thanks Melissa!
Beautiful, sweet, tender, sweet, amazing! There are just too many adjectives to describe how simply precious the pics are of this adorable baby! Love it!
These are beautiful, and thank you SO much for putting the info by the pics. It helps so much to aspiring photogs like me, who don’t really know what they’re doing but want too 
So adorable. And seriously…I keep trying to love shooting newborns, really I do, but it’s just SOOOO stinking HARD!
You can do ANYTHING! Even though newborn shoots may seem hard to do, your pictures never show it! Now weddings to me seem hard.
I too know what it is like to be a dripping mess at the end of a newborn shoot, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Melissa, these are so beautiful. Newborns ARE hard! But it’s all so worth it when you end up with beautiful images like these. A gorgeous baby & mama always help too
