I always LOVE photographing families at South Padre Island! The  sand and water create the perfect soft backdrop for portraits and it’s just a magical place to be. The weather for this session was crazy! It was chilly and the wind was blowing at least 40 mph. In fact, I have never seen it that windy at the beach before with no hurricane in sight. But Baby Maebel was such a trooper and held out long enough for us to get some gorgeous photos of her stunning family. Thank you so much Halley and Tyler for trusting me to capture your beautiful family!

On another note, I still have availability for the annual South Padre Island limited edition sessions which are July 10-16, 2012. These sessions are an unbelievable value and are only offered once a year at this special package price.

I’m finally blogging the beautiful C family’s session!! The love between this family is incredible. I am so honored that I was able to capture them while they were visiting family in the Rio Grande Valley last fall. Their session was so relaxed and fun…simply perfect in every way. And they are such a gorgeous family too!! Dad is currently serving our country. Thank you Miguel for your service to protect our freedoms here at home, and thank you Angela for your sacrifice too. Your family is in my prayers! Thank you so much for trusting me to create these special keepsakes for your sweet family!

Sweet little Emma came to visit me in the fall and I’m so happy to finally blog some of the photos from her session. She is just beautiful and was as sweet as could be!

If you’re interested in scheduling a photo session for your newborn, please e-mail me at info@melissarodriguezphotography.com. I am now booking newborn sessions for January, February, March, April and beyond.

 

When Angela first contacted me I was so excited to learn that not only would I be photographing her and her baby bump, but her sister was coming to visit her and was also expecting! They were a few months apart in their pregnancies and wanted photos together! I had so much fun with these beautiful expecting mommies and am so thankful that they trusted me to document this special time. These images were taken in October and you can see a hint of fall in the trees! 🙂
