maternity | laci & cason | siloam springs, ar maternity photographer

Happy Friday! New on the blog today: insanely hot maternity photos.

See what I mean? Aren't they just gorg??

 We shot this session at Billups Classic Cars & Auto Body shop in West Siloam. Not only does it have phenomenal light, but it also has some pretty awesome gutted cars in the back. Score!

So sweet.

Rawr.

If halfway attired hot people offend you, please click away now - you're missing out if you do though! Thank you Laci for letting me share these portraits, you guys are stunning! I've known Laci for awhile, but this was my first time meeting Cason - I think this portrait sums up their personalities nicely!

There was a very busy 412 about 50 feet <-- that way. Laci, you're a champ! Love it.

Ohemgee. So gorgeous you guys are.

And yes, we did the beer and belly shot from pinterest. Doesn't it go great with Cason's awesome tats though?

Laci & Cason, thanks for letting me share these - I can't wait to take Charleigh's newborn pictures soon! Ladies, Laci's hair and makeup is awesome right? Check her out at Sundaze Salon in West Siloam! 

Have a great weekend!

newborns | baby abilene is here! | westville, ok newborn phtographer

Hey guys! I've got a super presh newborn session to share with you today. Meet baby Abilene, daughter of Sheri and Derek; sister of Roman, Evan, and angel Lainee (more about their story here). I've been waiting awhile to share these, so lets get started! Isn't she as cute as a button?

Just perfect.

Love this little headband!!

Sheri actually made her little outfit (like cows, sewing is another thing that both fascinates and scares me). Super cute! And have you ever seen such big beautiful eyes?

Peacock feathers and lime green. Yes please.

Abilene was the first baby to try out this new bucket, I think she did it justice. No photoshop here folks - she really was holding her head up like that! I'll bet she'll be walking by 3 months at this rate...any takers??

Aren't these binky's just the best? 

What a sleep fighter she was on this day! But alas, the bucket (and the trusty paci) won (again). 

This photo is my favorite photo from her session. I love Lainee's angel wings next to Abilene like this - just perfect.

Daddys girl!

This girl actually has the bladder capacity of a large child. If I'm not mistaken, the picture on the right is about the time Abilene peed all over her mom. It just wouldn't stop! Funniest.Thing. Ever.

Ending on a sweet note, I'll leave you with a little smile. Love it!

Happy Friday!

hot deals | fall mini sessions | siloam springs, ar photographer

Did all the rain yesterday make you think of fall? I sure did! Do you know what fall also makes me think of? FALL MINI SESSIONS BABY!! And egg nog. Yum. Anyways, who's ready for mini sessions?

I will be holding fall mini sessions October 26th - October 28th in downtown Siloam Springs, AR, in and around the park. Portraits make great gifts - this is a great way to knock out most of your Christmas shopping in one stop! Details:

• up to a 25 minute fun filled session
• 10 full res fully edited images of your choice on disc, with a non-commercial print release
• 1 8x10 gift print of your favorite image
• and HUGE savings on great gift a la carte items! You can view a list of a la carte items available for this promotion here.

Mini sessions will be available in the following time slots: 4:00PM, 4:30PM, 5:00PM, 5:30PM, and 6:00PM (best slot of the day!!); on October 26th, 27th, and 28th. In case of inclement weather (eg: rain and/or heavy wind), your mini session will be rescheduled during the following week at your convenience. Session times may be slightly adjusted due to cloud cover, or if by odd chance the sunset calculator is off. For questions and to book, email me at melissa@melissawalkerphotography.net.

The fine print: Payment is due in full on the day of your session. For new clients, I will be charging a $20 retainer fee to reserve your spot, which is non refundable if you cancel. I only have 15 mini-session spots available, so I need to make sure everyone will be there! The remaining $80 is then due on your shooting date. Mini session spots are scheduled in the order I receive booking confirmation or your retainer fee if it applies, so act fast!

 And just because I can't post without leaving an awesome foot shot (a fall one even!!) in my wake:

 Happy Thursday!! Best wishes to you and yours,

Mel

newborns | siloam springs, ar newborn photographer | baby makenzie is here!

Goooood morning internet! Since hurricane Issac is coming through, and we're all stuck inside because of the (much needed!) rain, I thought I would share another session with you guys! Today we have Miss Makenzie. I actually photographed Makenzies newborn session at the end of July, but it's never too late to share. Right? Right?

Look at this cute little face!

Makenzie did great for her session, and slept like a log for most of it. So precious!

 Have you ever seen a cuter little outfit? I am in love with this little girls wardrobe!

 Loving this shot of momma and baby!

 Now at this point, due to an erm...accident (and lots of giggles!), Miss Makenzie was fully awake. Time for cute little portraits with her eyes open! Melissa, she is beautiful!

Big yawwwwn!!

Makenzie's parents are devout Jayhawk fans, so naturally we had to get some shots of her decked out with her Jayhawk bow! At this time, I did try to tell Makenzie's parents how cute she would look in OU colors as well, but alas, they were having none of it. Ah well, can't win them all!

So sweet! I love baby hands.

Thank you Melissa for choosing me to photograph Makenzie's newborn portraits! I am truly honored, and can't wait to catch up with her this fall!


Til next time,

(the other) Melissa
