Baby Berkley | leith newborn sneak peek

Aug 26th 2010 | Categories - Families and Newborns and Sneak Peeks | 1 Comment »

I have said this before but I’ll gladly say it again… I have been taking photos of newborns with the GREATEST names!

INTRODUCING BERKLEY MADYSON!

Isn’t she a doll? She looks a lot like her daddy right now! I imagine at some point she will resemble her beautiful mother.  And isn’t her room ADORABLE?!?!?!  Of course she wasn’t prepared to see her room until 5 days after her due date but the wait is always worth it. :-D

Congratulations Leith family! I’m so happy for you! Thank you for being so sweet and feeding me yummy snacks! haha  Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Pierce Charles | mccarty family sneak peek

It seems as though I have been taking photos of newborns with the GREATEST names! I LOVE the name Pierce for a baby, child and man. Great choice McCarty family!

This little man did such a fabulous job of snuggling! Which is just what we want newborns to do for shoots. After an hour of snoozing away for sleeping shots, he decided to be bright eyed and bushy-tailed for some adorable hat shots! CUTE!

Congratulations Andrew and Lindsey on such a beautiful and healthy baby boy! You can tell in the photos just how in love you are. :-D

Enjoy!

Lily & Leighton | schelle sneak peek

Jul 24th 2010 | Categories - Newborns and Sneak Peeks | No Comments »

It’s double the giggles and double the grins, and double the trouble if you’re blessed with twins.

~Author Unknown

I had the best time photographing these 5 day old twins, Lily and Leighton. They are absolutely perfect & VERY loved by their big sisters Abby and Ella. Beth (momma to the 4 beautiful girls) posted some pictures on Facebook after the girls arrived and they looked like they were a pretty good size but seeing them in person they are TEENY TINY!!! :-D I could have snuggled them all day!

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek Schelle Family! Congratulations on two healthy and beautiful baby girls! In a few years, when you have 4 tween/teen girls running around and you need some advice on how to survive, I’m sure my parents will be happy to offer some. However, I’m pretty sure we NEVER fought and we were ALWAYS angels! *wink*

Just the beginning | johnson family sneak peek

Jul 11th 2010 | Categories - Families and Newborns and Sneak Peeks | No Comments »

I have to start off with the fact that I had a hard time writing Johnson on this post. Numerous times I began with DeJaegher. haha Sorry Mike - I think Amber will always be Amber DeJaegher to me!

Mike and Amber had a BEAUTIFUL wedding celebration on July 3rd! They set-up, the food, the guest and the weather was PERFECT! They were such great sports about leaving right after the ceremony to go take some family pictures. I promised I would get that back in a decent amount of time so that they could actually enjoy their party.

Thank you for thinking of me to capture such a GREAT day for your now family of three!!!! You two are extremely lucky and I couldn’t be more happier for the three of you!

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Introducing Ethan McCoy Draper | aaron & mindi sneak peek

Apr 18th 2010 | Categories - Families and Kiddos and Newborns and Sneak Peeks | 3 Comments »

I am so excited about these images! This lil boy took his sweet time arriving, making his parents and siblings VERY anxious to meet him! And now that he is here he is for sure the center of attention 24/7! His older siblings Ryanne, Adrian and Gavin are IN LOVE!!!! It was adorable and so heartwarming to see how much they adore him. I’m sure it came thru in the pictures though. :-D

Thank you Mindi and Aaron for asking me to capture such a wonderful moment for you. He is absolutely beautiful and very blessed to have such proud parents and siblings.

ENJOY!

xoxo Melinda Ann

SHE’S HERE!!!! | delaney’s sneak peek

Mar 7th 2010 | Categories - Newborns and Sneak Peeks | 7 Comments »

hip hip hooray! She is here! :-D Remember this adorable couple? It was just a little over a month ago that I was at their house for a maternity shoot. I know that Melissa would probably disagree with me when I say “the past few weeks FLEW by!” but they did! Miss Delaney Grace (adorable, right?) had to come a few weeks early but she is happy, healthy and L.O.V.E.D like crazy!!!!

She was such an easy model to work with! She didn’t give us any attitude or mean looks when we asked her to stay in a certain pose. *wink* She did however, give me baby fever like crazy! I mean I’ve had it for a while but being around a sweet little peanut for a few hours just makes my heart flutter. I made a joke that I’m going to start bringing my husband to newborn shoots, in hopes that a babies magic works on him too. haha

Thank you again Waylon, Melissa, and Delaney for inviting me into your home so soon after she made her appearance. :-D Treasure each moment with her because this year will fly by and before you know it, she is walking and talking. :*)

xoxo Melinda ann

sp-2*Melissa made that hat for Delaney. She can just sit there for 2 hours and make somthing like this. I’m in awe of this Melissa and Melissa from NuxieMade. you two have a gift!

untitled-1FROM MELISSA: This is the story of lucky… We went through almost three years of fertility treatments to get pregnant with Delaney. A good friend of ours that had experienced some fertility issues when she tried to get pregnant gave us a four leaf clover (”lucky”). With Lucky she had written a note of numerous women’s stories (including her own) of their struggle to conceive and how lucky had brought them luck and they became pregnant. In the note it said to believe in lucky and you it will bring you luck and you will become pregnant. When we went through our IVF cycle we took lucky with us everywhere. I was never without him. He came to ultrasounds, Waylon would put it in my hand after surgeries, and I carried it in my purse always. With that IVF cycle we became pregnant with Delaney. Might be a little superstitious but we are believers and are greatful for Lucky’s help. Lucky brought us hope which we needed at that time. We own Lisa a ton of thanks for bringing Lucky to us!!

Twinny Twin / morgan sneak peek

Jan 30th 2010 | Categories - Newborns | 3 Comments »

There really are no words to explain the love I have for these babies, well and the parents too!  Tara and I have been best friends since the beginning of time aka Kindergarten. Back in the days of wearing Rainbow Bright and sporting spandex pants….wait those are called leggings now. :-D

These two are monoamniotic twins (meaning IDENTICAL in EVERY way!) so right from the start they have been pretty darn special. :-D We had to mark diapers so that we didn’t mix them up and although I thought I would have a hard time remembering which twin was which, surprisingly I didn’t. :-D

I’m so proud of Tara and Rob for doing a phenomenal job through out the crazy pregnancy! You did such a wonderful job bringing these two peanuts into the world at such an early time (32 weeks). I’m so proud of you and I can’t wait to watch these two grow into crazy toddlers, sassy teens, and beautiful confident women. :-D They are so lucky to have parents like you!

Love you all and hope you enjoy you sneak peek!

xoxo Melinda Ann
