Such a perfect shoot! I loved everything about it. This beautiful family was so much fun to photograph and I was happy to capture so many tender moments. Thanks again Ashley. Hope you love your pictures as much as I do.
I hate to admit that I have SO many shoots that are never posted! I wish I had all the time in the world, but I just don’t. These were taken in the spring and are still some of my favorites! I guess it’s never too late right?
Danica Nelson: Love love love every. single. one!! Especially those last four.
Nothing makes me happier than to be able to capture a mother with her children! Especially when she tells me how few pictures she is actually in with them! I just fell in love with this shot when I saw it! I hope this encourages all of you mothers, including myself, to make it a point to hand your camera over to your husband and BE IN MORE PICTURES with your kids! Sometimes we need a little reminder…well at least I know I do!
Melonie: It's soo true! Out of the thousands of pictures I have on my computer I'll bet only a handful have me in them. Curse of the mom.
Danica Nelson: Love it! And yes it IS so true!!!
Jen and I have been friends for several years now. We met at a support group for parents who had lost a child and became instant friends as our daughters were about a month apart. It was so fun to reconnect this last month and attend the Walk to Remember for families who have lost a baby. It was such a neat experience and I am so happy we were able to go together. We both feel that our little girls are the best of friends and I wouldn’t doubt one bit that when we see our sweet Madelyn again, Shaylee will be close by. Thanks for letting me photograph your beautiful family. The location was perfect once again!
Jen: Love them! You take just great pictures!!! can't wait to see more. Thank you!!
Brittany H.: Oh man, I die for these pictures. It is just a testament of your talent to have it appear that EVERYone you photograph is the most photogenic person ever.
Danica Nelson: Love the siblings on the dock pics!!!
I always feel so honored to photograph my dear friends and their families. I grew up with this beautiful mama and we were roommates in college so we have quite a history. I LOVE her to death! Thanks again Em. You have such a beautiful family and I am so happy we got to spend time with you while we were in Utah.
Danica Nelson: Love them! Especially the blanket mama snuggling shot and the siblings shot!
I know I have not updated in a while as I have been swamped with photoshoots. Just so everyone is aware, as of October 1st I have updated my pricing. Please see my pricing page if you have any questions. Those who currently have a scheduled photoshoot will receive my old prices.
Also I am completely BOOKED until Christmas! I wish I could fit everyone in and thank you for all the emails. I am now beginning to schedule shoots for January.
YES it has been forever since I have posted and YES we have had the busiest summer ever, but I cannot complain one bit! We have been out of town for over 2 months and it has been wonderful to be with family and to be able to enjoy the summer in ways we would not be able to here in Vegas. We played and played and played and have loved every minute of it.
This picture pretty much sums up our summer! Need I say more. . .
Danica Nelson: So cute! Love her curls so much. And love that you're back and posting! YAYAY!
Nani & Papa: So fun! So glad we got to see that adorable smile, hear her laugh and read her stories!! And see her daddy & mommy too! :)
Shannon: THAT is an AWESOME picture!
Whitney: Those curls!!! I love em!!! She is such a cutie! Glad you are back!
emily: Gorgeous shot of a gorgeous girl!
Finally got “the” shot I have been dreaming of! I am in love.
More to come…
Danica Nelson: Awwww, I LOVE it!! You have just mastered outdoors and light.
Jessica Allen: Wow! You are my inspiration! I love this picture. Your daughter is adorable - and growing up!
Nani & Papa: Absolutely precious!! Those adorable little curls, and you even got baby Tessa to smile!
emily kate: Love this, Mel! She looks so darling with her baby. And the lighting is gorgeous!
Brittany H.: Amazing. Your patience has been rewarded!
Melonie: Beautiful! She is just perfect!
I am headed to Utah in a few minutes and thought I should probably post a few pictures before I go. These two little girls are the cutest things ever! So much fun to photograph and aren’t they just so precious?
Danica Nelson: Beyond precious! Love the triptych and I so love that chair. Darling...great job! Have fun in UT!
Nani & Papa: So darling! Does the tutu come in plus sizes?? I really want on :) And I would need the cowboy boots to complete my look!
Brittany H.: I love the giant lollipop idea. So cute!
I am not a wedding or engagement photographer nor do I aspire to be one, but I had so much fun with this beautiful couple out in the ghost town of Nelson, Nevada. Their wedding was this past weekend and so I was reminded of their shoot and realized I never posted it. They are such an amazing couple full of love and respect for one another and it was such a treat meeting you both and spending this time with you.
Danica Nelson: Ahhhh! LOVE these! The third row down on the right and the fifth rows are my favorites. But seriously, they are all gorgeous. What a beautiful couple - you did a great job!
Brittany H.: Wow, you are so good Melynda!
Nani & Papa: Another beautiful shoot. So proud of you!!
Sydney: Mel for not "being an wedding photographer" you sure seem to have a knack at it!!! :)
Bad Behavior has blocked 70 access attempts in the last 7 days.
Danica Nelson: So many great ones! Love them, Melynda! My favs: 1, 3, 4 on R!
Whitney: Oh so perfect as usual! You did a great job capturing this family. You can totally feel the love! I am in love with the one of the couple looking at each other! So cute!
Brittany H.: Beautiful!!
Brittani: Mel, your photos seem to get better and better. They blow me away! I haven't been to your site in awhile, and I love all your latest work. xoxo.
Nani: The scenery is beautiful! Precious memories for this adorable family!
