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!

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

families | prairie grove, ar family photographer | battlefield park family session!

Today I'm delivering Justina's disc, so I thought it would be a great time to share their awesome Battlefield Park session, full of smiles and flying children (literally!) in Prairie Grove, AR. I originally met the Broughtons a couple months ago, for baby Linc's newborn session. Such a sweet little boy! This photo of Linc is one of my top fav newborn portraits:

Isn't he presh?

Look how much he's changed in 3 months! So handsome! I love these portraits of him and dad together.

Linc also has some cute big brothers. These boys are so much fun! Tons of smiles and laughter.

When I asked Justina and Jeremy to take some shots without the boys, they looked kind of surprised! I always try to get portraits of mom and dad alone, since most haven't had any taken since pre-children days. I love these shots of Justina and Jeremy together, and am so happy we took a second out to get them. Just gorgeous.

Justina, you are beautiful! Ladies, prepare to have a case of major hair envy. Wowza! Momma and her boys:

 Bare toesies!

Towards the end of our session, I asked Jeremy if they'd be interested in tossing the boys in the air a little bit. Whoa! They didn't mention until after the boys came back down from the clouds that they both used to cheer. These boys got lift!!

Who would of thought one could find a pile of leaves to play in in the middle of summer? This location was perfect!

Look at those longggg eyelashes! This was one tuckered out boy. So sweet.

Thank you Justina and Jeremy for choosing me to take your family photos, I loved meeting the rest of your family and catching up with Lincoln. He's grown so much and is such a precious little guy. Next shoot: superman cape for Koa required.


Happy thursday!
