I have not seen this little guys parents in about 4 years! My husband worked with Jerry years ago in the mortgage industry. When I heard that they were having a baby I was super excited for them! It was so great to see them as parents and how they interacted with Taylor at the session. Isn’t he a doll?? Taylor was the most alert baby I’ve ever seen! And the most calm. Karen must have taken yoga through out her entire pregnancy, because he was just so zen!

Karen & Jerry: I am SO happy for you both! Taylor is so beautiful! Thank you for choosing me to capture such a special time in your lives! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! xoxo

This session was a long time coming! So glad the weather was finally good and that I could finally meet little Sophia! She was full of spunk and to be honest, gave me a bit of worry that we were not going to get any photos of her. But she eventually warmed up to me and we got some adorable shots of her. Take a look…..

I LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch my client’s families grow! I met this amazing couple when I photographed their wedding a few years back. We totally clicked. Jen loves photos almost as much as I do! Then I got had the pleasure of photographing her maternity and newborn portraits of their first baby, Conner. Now, 3 years later, I get to document those special moments again for their second son, Chase. It’s amazing how much Chase and Conner look so much the same as newborns!

J & N: Congratulations on another adorable little boy! I’m thrilled that I was able to capture these special moments again for you and to watch your family grow! Chase & Conner are too cute for words! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! xoxo

OH how I LOVE this large shot below! Sweet little Hunter had the biggest smile on his face! Adorable! He was a little rock star let me tell you! When I arrived, he was due to eat, but he was sleeping away, so I just went for it. We made it through outfit changes and different prop set ups and he peacefully slept thru it all! He only woke up towards the end.

K & N: What a pleasure it was to photograph little Hunter! Love the name and he’s adorable! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! xoxo

check out this adorable little one I got to hang out with this weekend! She was the first of many babies born this week that I got to capture their first moments! Lucky me! She was so beautiful and sweet!

A & B: I really enjoyed meeting you and sweet little Avery this weekend. She is beautiful and you are blessed to have her as your own. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture your first moments together as a family. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek! xoxo

I am SO SO SO excited to introduce my new Studio Manager, Stephanie! Some of you may have met her already at your recent session with me. The rest of you will get to know her soon enough. Stephanie has been a dear friend of mine for a long time and she’s super passionate about photography-and I LOVE that! She’s been tagging along to almost all of my sessions recently and has been a HUGE help! Especially at my newborn sessions! Now I don’t know what I’d do without her!
In addition to assisting, Stephanie will be taking over my emails now handling all of the new inquiries. With her help we can now respond much quicker to everyone’s emails. I get so bogged down every day in just emails alone that now I can focus more on editing and designing! I’ve been a one woman team for so many years now doing all of this on my own, so this is a huge step for me and I’m thrilled to have Stephanie on board!

Lastly, I am still needing a few more testimonials for a new project I’m working on (more on that later!) So if any of my fabulous clients would like to write one for me to include, please email it to: info@melissaylnphotography.com I’d be so gracious!! Thank you!

Isn’t she sweet?!!? At first, I was a little worried about how this session was going to go since she would just not settle down, but finally she did and she was a perfect angel! She slept thru so many different “set up” changes and rocked it!

G & A: Camille is simply adorable! THANK you for choosing me to capture such a special time in your lives! I’m truly honored! xoxo

I was so excited to photograph one of my favorite families last weekend! I was lucky to be able to document her first pregnancy and newborn portraits of their ADORABLE little boy Kaden. Now she’s about to have a baby girl and I couldn’t be happier for them!

G & R: THANK YOU for letting me run and play with you and your family at the beach last weekend! You are stunningly beautiful! I can’t wait until baby T arrives! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!! xoxo

This little beauty arrived on her parents bathroom floor! Big props to her mommy! I just LOVE the simplicity of these images.

M & E: What a beautiful little family you have! Suzanna is absolutely beautiful! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!! xoxo
