Melissa

I LOVE being a mom. I could eat sushi 3 times a day. If bookstores had beds in them, I'd have no reason to leave. My heart gets all fluttery when I am in a stationery store. Spanglish is my first language. Ikea is my new obsession. I listen to Paramore when editing photos, working out, and giving birth. I crave fast lenses and chocolate chip cookies every other day. Jesus Christ saved my life and continues to save me from myself.

I eat Chick-Fil-A four times a week, wish I had time to be cycling again, and bake a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies at least twice a month. (Why? Because my wife loves them.)

The Pegram Family!

Four years ago, I was honored to photograph Terry & Leslie’s wedding… and two weeks ago I was thrilled to meet their little addition: Emily!!! It is so cool to see how families grow and change, especially when I was there to witness the family’s beginnings- a beautiful ceremony at Duke Gardens, rain and all....

The Turner Family!

Sara & I went to high school together, but we weren’t close then–we went to a large school and only had one class together in 4 years, but once we reconnected a couple years ago we sure have hit it off! I can’t imagine not being friends with her now! She is an amazing woman–...

Then Comes a Baby: Maxton

Heads up: really cute baby ahead! This little guy happens to be the son of a high school friend of mine! Yes, just yesterday we were in governor’s school together the summer before our senior year. Now we’re married with children. Wow. When Emily contacted me about shooting her little man’s first picks I almost...

Adorable Baby Shoot: Cana

I absolutely love shooting babies at this stage– chubby, sitting, and easy to dress up. I did Vaden’s at 6 months, which you can see here back in September 2008. Cana’s didn’t happen til 7 months, but it’s still the same stage of life. I got an hour in with this little one before she...

Much like the good ole days of yesteryear (a.k.a. high school) I am home on a Friday night. My babies are sound asleep, I am done editing photos for the night, and I am praying that I can one day truthfully echo the words of Martha Washington in a letter to Mercy Otis Warren: “I...

Now that the days are colder…

I thought I would post some fall photos of the babies. I can’t believe how big they are getting!!! Both of them are outgrowing their clothes and racing into childhood before I can even blink. That’s part of why I am posting these…because I have hardly taken any pictures of Cana (compared to when Vaden...
