Loss

2008-11-01T21:00:00.006-05:00

Such a little word that has such a deep meaning.

(please note that a miscarriage is mentioned and if you feel that may be upsetting to you, please skip this post)

As you may have noticed, the blog has been neglected. And while, in part, that is due to this being one of the busiest times of the year- it has also taken a backseat for another reason. As many of you already know, in August I got the surprise and shock of a positive pregnancy test. As I made it through the extreme sickness and overwhelming exhaustion, I knew that I couldn’t keep up the pace I once had. So I had to prioritize, and the blog ended up at the bottom.

As time passed, that shock of our surprise turned to excitement. I began planning our future around this new little one. I dreamed about her (even saw a beautiful girl in those dreams), I had dreams for her, and I fell in love with her. This week, at 13+ weeks, we received the devastating news that our baby’s heart had stopped beating.

This is the week that I thought it would be “safe” to announce on here that a baby was in the works and instead, I’m doing this. I have been blessed with two healthy children and have never experienced a miscarriage. My heart always ached for those who had, but I never knew how deep that pain runs.

It’s so difficult to at one minute envision this beautiful child in your life and the next minute try to imagine your future without her. I could already smell that sweet newborn head, I had counted those 10 fingers and toes dozens of times, and I had visualized almost every pose and position I would lovingly convince that new baby in to so I could get that perfect picture.

It’s hard to let go of those dreams and to move forward, but with God’s help and the loving help of my family and friends I know that it is possible.

On Thursday I had a D&C. I couldn’t have asked for better care from all of the hospital staff, especially the ultrasound techs, the nurses, and the anesthesiologist. I already knew my doctor was the best from past experience- but she went above and beyond all that was required of her. One nurse, who is also a client of mine, was a huge comfort to me and my husband. And I’m so thankful she was there that day.

I’m usually not so personal on here but with so many of my clients already knowing the news of the pregnancy--I felt this would probably be the best place to start. Instead of having to explain the situation over and over, I wanted to put it some place that a lot of my clients already look.

I returned to work today--which was something I truly needed to do. It felt good to pour myself into my work. I have already returned many emails and phone calls but still have a list to get through. Please bear with me; I will be working on those next week.

My precious kiddos

Permanent Vacation

2008-09-30T20:31:00.002-05:00

I've received several emails asking for updates on the blog and the latest asked if I was on a permanent vacation.... okay, hint taken! :)

Sept. was super busy month and the blog just took a back seat. Vacation passed way too quickly (doesn't it always?) and the rest of the month has flown by!

Here is a sweet little family that has lots of energy! They definitely know how to make gorgeous kids!

vacation time!

2008-08-29T09:53:00.003-05:00

I'm off for a week to enjoy some time with my family and much needed rest before the huge fall/Christmas rush!
If you need me, email- I hope to have access.
Have a great holiday weekend and I'll return all emails and calls upon returning!
~M

Family

blue eyed cutie

2008-08-22T06:08:00.002-05:00

Gibson at almost 7 months. What a sweetheart! It was a pleasure meeting this little guy and his ultra sweet mom!

Aiden Ryan

2008-08-21T06:40:00.000-05:00

Sweet perfection....

Caden

2008-08-19T20:20:00.005-05:00

Sweet baby boy and his cute-as-a-button big sis!

Bailey Katherine

2008-08-12T17:04:00.006-05:00

Miss sweetness at 8 months!

Twins

2008-08-11T11:01:00.002-05:00

This is Cale and Owen... and yes, after looking at their sweet faces long enough, I can finally tell them apart! Aren't these the CUTEST little guys!! I'm so happy I got to meet these precious ones- and their mom and grandmother too-- very sweet ladies!

Cody and Cole

2008-08-07T22:19:00.001-05:00

I just adore these two brothers! We had a rocky start with big brother, Cody... poor little guy has some health issues and required a shot right as the session began..... (I would have been upset too! ). But, he quickly perked up and was nothing less than a perfect angel the rest of our session!

From the looks of it, little brother Cole had his own issues with ME to begin with. lol
Don't let him fool you, he was just playing hard to get.

As for the rest of the images.... I was able to capture a more serious side to these little guys as well but these happen to be some of my favorites.... and I think some of mom's too!

Not sure what I said that was SOO hilariously funny..... :)

Aiden

2008-08-06T21:00:00.002-05:00

It's such a blessing to watch these families grow! Aiden's big sis Aubrey was just a tiny little one herself when I first met this beautiful family. And recently, I had the honor of capturing the newest love of their lives.
Such an adorable little guy.... who is completely adored by his family!

Ella Katherine

2008-08-05T22:30:00.000-05:00

Miss Ella was ACTIVE this time around. I suspect she'll be walking (or running) at her one year session.

She has the cutest little pouty face!

Baby Ethan

2008-08-04T21:40:00.004-05:00

Such a sweet baby boy who is completely adored by his mommy and daddy!

Cool Man Luke

2008-08-01T07:06:00.001-05:00

Always a cutie!

Luke was 9 months at his most recent session. This is certainly one of my favorite ages to capture- when they are sitting, happy, and not yet walking (usually!). After this- the chase is on! lol

Jet turns two!

2008-07-31T06:51:00.000-05:00

Seriously, TWO already??? He's such a big boy now..... and too cute for words!

The Beautiful....

2008-07-30T07:34:00.000-05:00

Ella Kate

Reid at 2 years!

2008-07-29T07:55:00.003-05:00

This handsome little guy has been coming to me since about the time he first learned to sit up. Oh my, how he has grown and changed!
He has the sweetest disposition (even at TWO :) ) and those soulful eyes take my breath away.

Weston

2008-07-28T06:32:00.001-05:00

What an adorable little guy he is!!

The beautiful Miss Sara Beth

2008-07-17T16:41:00.002-05:00

A sweet little angel!

I love that she's so relaxed in mommy's hands!

Sydney and Reid

2008-07-16T15:44:00.000-05:00

I had a blast with these kids- smart, funny.... FUN..... and not to mention- gorgeous!

Makaylan Elise

2008-07-15T09:04:00.000-05:00

A beautiful name for a beautiful girl! Less than 2 weeks of age and she was so alert! I just LOVE that smile for mommy.... who says newborns can't smile?

Any wonder why I adore newborns? sigh....

The Wedding

2008-07-11T10:16:00.000-05:00

I've had lots of people asking to see these so here they are.... the one and ONLY wedding. LOL

A beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!

Avery Lauren

2008-07-09T22:12:00.005-05:00

Pretty Miss Avery turned one!

family of six....

2008-07-08T21:18:00.006-05:00

I have to say, when this mom contacted me and said she wanted a family session which included four children who were ages 10, 9, 8, and 6.... well, I was a bit leery. I mean, a session with FOUR children + family.... that could easily border on chaos. :)

But alas, no chaotic session here- just 4 kids who were a little too easy! A seriously great family and kids that knew how to have fun together!

And just one of the princess...

Brayden

2008-07-07T10:15:00.003-05:00

This little cutie returned for his ONE year session!

Sadie at 8 months

2008-07-03T21:05:00.002-05:00

Sweet little Sadie.... too precious for words!

Have a wonderful and safe 4th! I'll be back in the studio on Monday.

Email

2008-07-02T22:22:00.002-05:00

Once again, it seems that I'm having email issues.... I'm not receiving all my emails and some emails that I'm sending aren't going through. I always try to answer emails in a timely manner (usually within 24 hours) so if you've emailed me and didn't receive a response- please try again or call.
And on the subject of emails... I have a mass of emails that I'll be returning first thing tomorrow morning but for now I'm heading to bed.... a full day of sessions and I'm tired! :)
~M

Aubrey turns two

2008-07-02T16:06:00.004-05:00

She's growing up and is a big sister now! I'll be sharing her baby brother (who is just as adorable as she is!) soon but for now it's Miss Aubrey and her session that took place just before Baby arrived.

Audrey

2008-07-01T15:46:00.000-05:00

What a little sweet pea she was!! I loved that her "baby" had a matching dress. TOO cute!

Love me some lashes! :)

Audrey Katherine

2008-06-28T17:55:00.000-05:00

Such a sweet little angel!!

And I couldn't leave Big Brother Cole out... he insisted I take his picture. Really.

Brothers

2008-06-27T15:10:00.003-05:00

Meet the blue eyed cuties, Zachary and Eli....very much 'on the go' and such handsome little guys!

Kynli Jo at 4 months

2008-06-26T06:50:00.002-05:00

Jack turns one!

2008-06-25T07:22:00.000-05:00

Senior

2008-06-24T17:46:00.002-05:00

Gorgeous, smart, and off to college.... good luck!
**side note: these are a bit late on MY part- she had them done in time for graduation! :) **

Really....

2008-06-23T09:12:00.000-05:00

2 weeks without blogging??? Oops... just a super busy time around here!

Here is Miss Carter at 2 years. This little cutie rocks my world! It's always a blast to capture her sweet personality!

K is for....

2008-06-06T08:37:00.002-05:00

Kate Davis
This is what I found on a tree outside the studio, after our session. Miss Kate Davis wanted me to remember her.... how cute is that?? How could I forget this adorable face?

Bradley Garrison

2008-06-04T20:25:00.000-05:00

I can't get enough of these little newborns....

Can't you just feel the love...

Baby Sticher

2008-05-31T14:08:00.001-05:00

Such a sweet little guy....

Cooper the cutie...

2008-05-30T08:01:00.000-05:00

returned for his ONE year old session. He's one fast little guy these days but I was able to capture a few fleeting seconds of STILLNESS. :)

Noah at 9 months

2008-05-28T17:57:00.001-05:00

Ahhh, those chubby little thighs-- too stinking cute!

The unofficial start of summer

2008-05-24T14:09:00.001-05:00

I love this time of year! It's the beginning of all things summer and I personally can't wait! Summer sessions are filling quickly. There are very few sessions left for June- and July is almost full. I am leaving some slots open for all the newborns that are on the calendar (a definite baby boom going on around here!!).

For June, all outdoor sessions are full and all that remain are studio sessions. Outdoor sessions are limited in July with very few evenings available. There are still a few morning outdoor sessions available for July.
I plan on ringing in the summer with some family time and of course, taking time to remember those who gave their life so we can enjoy our many freedoms.
Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Of course, I can't post this without a cute face to go with it. Here's Jack at 4 months!

John Mark turned one!

2008-05-22T20:42:00.000-05:00

And this happy little guy was on the move! LOVE his sweet smile!

Alaina

2008-05-21T21:07:00.001-05:00

A little angel!
I love how she's holding on to Daddy's thumb in the last one-- precious!

Well...

2008-05-19T22:16:00.000-05:00

it's that time of the year.... crazy, I tell ya! And, it seems that we are having a baby boom around here. Newborns everywhere! I love it!
Just a reminder to expectant moms, call BEFORE baby arrives to ensure a slot for your new baby! I love capturing those babies in the first couple of weeks and try my best to fit them in but with summer filling quickly, I can't make any promises unless I have you on the calendar. And it's never too early to get on there- I have babies due in November already on the calendar!

Okay, now on to Miss Sadie, who returned for her 8 month session. All smiles- and nothing could be cuter!

Baby Brooks

2008-05-08T19:37:00.002-05:00

What a sweet little guy... and look at that sweet little smile!

Kamden

2008-05-02T14:35:00.000-05:00

Mr. Gorgeous Big Eyes returned for his 6 month session. He's one of those easy going, happy all of the time babies... LOVE it!

Mom wore this hat when she was a baby so of course, we had to get a few of Kam wearing it!

Jordan turned ONE

2008-04-30T22:46:00.000-05:00

Jordan grew up literally before my eyes! I had the pleasure of photographing her mom's maternity and then Miss Jordan as a newborn all the way through to one year!
I got the sweetest email from mom the other day and I just want to share it.

"...Jordan's pictures are beautiful! The slideshow doesn’t do them justice! I especially love the 11x14 of her standing, she looks like a doll! Thanks for capturing my daughter in such a lovely, adorable way! I will cherish these pictures forever! Each time I walk down my hall, I see all of the beautiful pictures you have taken of my little girl from day one and it makes me smile and have happy tears. Thanks, Melanie, for all the beautiful, pure pictures that I hold dear to my heart!..."

Yes, mom is right-- she does look like a doll!

Sarah Katherine

2008-04-29T11:22:00.000-05:00

Sweet Baby Girl....

Knox

2008-04-28T07:45:00.001-05:00

Such a sweet little guy....
He also brought along his big sisters for a few shots- I'll have to share a few of those later! Check out those baby blues!

Giving Back Session

2008-04-27T16:58:00.002-05:00

Thanks for all the heartfelt entries so far- I have truly been touched! I wanted to clarify that none of the entries will be published on the blog and the "winner" will not be identified as such on the blog. I would never want to embarrass anyone and I've had several emails asking so I wanted to clear that up incase it was keeping anyone from entering. In fact, since I will be choosing an outside source to help pick a winner- no names will be included for anyone other than me to see.
Back to my weekend.... :)
~M

some more cuties...

2008-04-26T23:03:00.003-05:00

Little Kendall and doting big brother Noah...

Ashton

2008-04-25T23:01:00.002-05:00

She had that pouty look down! :)
What a cutie!!!

Giving Back

2008-04-23T10:14:00.002-05:00

I feel very blessed to do something I am so passionate about and that I’m able to live my dream. One of my favorite quotes of all time is by Robert Brault “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” That’s what motivates me …. capturing those little moments.
I think one of the greatest compliments I get from clients is when they tell me that they have saved for months in order to have a session with me. And while I know every mom and dad would love to have those precious moments captured of their own children, there isn’t always room in the budget for it. So in the spirit of giving back, I would like to give a session to a deserving family that for whatever reason, may not be able to afford a custom photo session. If you (or someone you know) thinks this describes your situation and would love beautiful images of your children- keep reading…
This offer is for a family with young children- or just the little
one(s) from the family.
The session will be limited to the immediate family only (no cousins, grandparents, etc.).
The session date and location will be determined by me and will be held within the next six weeks.

So… what does ‘the session’ include? The chosen recipient will receive a session (remember- I will choose the location) and a $400 print credit to be used on prints from the session.
The chosen family will need to be available on a weekday in June- I will have a couple of different dates to choose from.

And what do you need to do?
Email me at Melanie@expressionsbymelanie.com if you or someone you know would like to be considered for this opportunity. Put “Giving Back” in the subject line and then let me know why you think you (or the person) deserves this ‘giving back’ session. I don’t need a lot of details but provide any information you feel would be pertinent to my decision. A photo isn’t necessary but feel free to include one. Please also include all children’s names and ages along with a telephone number (and email address if available) of the person who desires the session. And lastly, please make sure if you are submitting another person for this, that they are truly interested in a session.

All entries must be received by midnight on May 2nd. Depending on how many entries are received, I may enlist a second party to help choose a winner. The winner will be notified by phone or email and we will set up a date and location at that time.
~M

Addie

2008-04-21T22:12:00.003-05:00

The beautiful Miss Addie turned one back in Feb.... yes, I'm a bit behind on the blog! I've had the pleasure of capturing this little doll throughout her first year- and what an honor it has been! I just adore this little pout....
And just to prove she smiled almost the entire session...

That girl knows how to enjoy her some cake!

Back!

2008-04-15T22:05:00.000-05:00

I didn't announce it and unless you've spoken to me recently you probably didn't even realize I was MIA (aside from not returning your calls/emails).... but I'm back and ready to return those emails and calls!

As most of you know, I don't offer weddings. My love lies with photographing newborns, little ones, bigger ones, and their families. My schedule stays full so I can't even imagine adding wedding photography to that already hectic schedule. But, I can't say that I haven't been curious and I've always had a desire to photograph a wedding. Well, this weekend I had an opportunity to do so. I was honored when a very special couple asked me to photograph their beach wedding and after careful consideration- I accepted. And as a little reward, my family and I spent a few extra days enjoying the beach before heading home.

The wedding itself was gorgeous but I have to say, I was TIRED. After 11 hours of shooting, I left the wedding site thrilled with the opportunity to capture the day for the beautiful couple.... and with a happy heart decided that I'll stick with my little ones! Maybe one day I'll move on and shoot the weddings of these little ones but for now, give me a baby or a two year old to chase and I'm completely content!

As I said, I'll be returning calls/emails tomorrow. I haven't counted but I know I have a long list so if I don't get to everyone tomorrow please know that I'm working on it. If by Thurs. afternoon you haven't heard from me, please try again- as I may not have received your message.

If you have requested a session, they will be booked in the order I received the request.

While I'm on the subject of sessions.... the spring schedule is almost full and summer is getting there as well.

I will be limiting my summer schedule to certain days of the week so that I can spend some extra time with my children while they are off for the summer. Location sessions will be limited so book soon if you desire a location session.

And what is a blog post without a cutie to go with it.....

This is Savannah Grace-- and what a doll she is!

Griffin

2008-04-09T23:29:00.000-05:00

Sweet little Griffin.... same song, different session-- he's always on the move and this session was no exception. He's growing up SO fast and is one smart cookie!

Bailey Katherine

2008-04-08T18:05:00.000-05:00

Jaxson at 4 months

2008-03-28T22:47:00.004-05:00

So he has grown a bit since his newborn session.... I've said it many times but it's such a pleasure seeing these little ones grow!
At our next session I'm sure Jaxson will be sitting and possibly crawling but for now, he had to have a little help from Mom. I love the capturing the baby/mom connection during this time!

I smile every time I see this little happy face...

LOVED this newborn session

2008-03-26T21:50:00.000-05:00

I can't believe I haven't shared this session!!! I am going to make up for it by sharing a ton from it :).
This little cutie was PERFECT! I have too many favs so here goes....
Meet Mr. Will- the 3rd little boy for this family!

Grace is growing up!

2008-03-06T21:36:00.000-06:00

2008-01-12T09:29:00.000-06:00

Fall got so crazy that I couldn't keep up with posting sessions to the blog... so I'm working a bit backward... :)
Jackson is another cutie who I had the privilege of watching grow throughout his first year. At this session Mr. J was just about to celebrate his first birthday.

Chance turns ONE

2008-01-11T08:34:00.000-06:00

Another birthday boy...
It seems like it was just yesterday that I shot his newborn session. Seriously, where does time go? It has been a blast seeing this little guy's personality emerge and watching him grow.
Happy Birthday!!

The "something new" is here! FINALLY.... my website. It has been in the works since June, yes JUNE! I started on it waaayyy back in June and then life and the business got so crazy that it got pushed to the side-- but I'm happy to say that it's done and finally up and running. So be sure to check it out!

Congrats to Angie G! She's the first one to comment on the website!

Welcome 2008

It's a new year and there are some new things in the works for Expressions Photography. In the next couple of days watch for the new things to be unveiled....
And just for fun... once you figure out what's new, the first person who emails me with a COMMENT on this 'new thing' will receive a $50 print credit good to use toward prints purchased in 2008.
Keep watching.... it should be here soon! :)
Happy New Year!

Thanks to ALL my wonderful clients.... what an amazing year this has been!
Happy Holidays and can't wait to see you in the New Year!

Some recent cuties

2007-12-16T16:02:00.000-06:00

Beautiful Miss Natalie.... who has grown a bit from her last session. Love how her personality comes out in these!

And Jordan at her 8 month session- one of my sweet newborns who's growing up before my eyes!

And last but definitely not least.... Carter. She's so full of personality and spunk... and she makes me work but I adore this kid! It's always fun and NEVER boring to have her in front of the camera. :)

Stunning

Really, the title sums it up. These sisters are the perfect contrast.... the camera loved them (and so did I, precious girls!!)

This is a precious family of three that I recently had the pleasure of meeting. You could just feel the love these new parents have for their sweet girl. She was an absolute doll and just amazing to photograph.
This sweet family (and esp. Emma Kate) could use everyone's prayers tonight. As I was sitting here placing their order and trying to choose which images to share on the blog, I checked my voice mail. I had a message from Emma Kate's daddy telling me that she had been admitted to the hospital with a high temperature. I know they are worried sick and would appreciate prayers on her behalf. As any parent knows, it's such a helpless feeling when your child is sick and to have one so tiny be so sick.... well, I can only imagine how worried they are.

Beautiful baby girl....

Brothers

2007-11-29T22:57:00.000-06:00

Such great kids!
I just love the last image of little brother looking up to big brother!

more cute boys

Hagan, who is sporting his Christmas pj's....

And sweet baby Tyler, who returned for his 6 month session...

Kendall

2007-11-27T22:06:00.000-06:00

Gorgeous baby girl....

Baby Nolan

2007-11-25T23:29:00.000-06:00

This little guy is adored by an older brother and sister... and just has to be one of the most easygoing newborns ever (I saw first hand as he was kissed, rubbed, bounced, and LOVED... and he never made a peep :) )! Last fall the big kids were the focus during a session with me and this year, Mr. Nolan made his appearance! It's always a pleasure to see this family and even more so now that they've added another one!

playing catch up on the blog...

2007-11-24T21:08:00.000-06:00

I know there's no way to feature ALL of the sweet kiddos that I have the pleasure of photographing but I'll do my best to get as many as possible on here-- and maybe save a few for the website update!

This cutie is Destin (who I've had the pleasure of capturing since birth)...

And this is Tatum who came back for his 9 month session...

Thanksgiving

2007-11-21T23:50:00.001-06:00

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving. I know I personally have so much to be thankful for!
Enjoy the day!

Addison

She's a cutie for sure.... but I'll let you in on a secret.... she's fast! :)

The beautiful Bailey Katherine

2007-11-20T21:52:00.000-06:00

Another precious newborn.... perfect in every way and so tiny! Look how she just fit perfectly into mom's hands!
What a great little model she was!

Sweet Sadie

2007-11-16T15:50:00.000-06:00

Little Sadie's mom just wants to freeze time... can you blame her? This beautiful sweetie is the youngest of 3, so mom knows how quickly time flies by!!!
I can't wait to see what she's doing next month at her 6 month session!
