Boy, have I really not blogged since October?!?! I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I came to my blog today and literally had forgotten my log-in information and how to even post an update…it had been SOOOO long!

The last quarter of 2011 was a bit of a whirlwind for Melissa Rodriguez Photography and I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to meet and photograph so many beautiful babies, kiddos and families. Thank you for making 2011 so spectacular! I am really looking forward to what 2012 has in store for us – including some new product offerings and special mini sessions throughout the year!

I’m going to get caught up on the blog this month, so be ready to see a ton of beautiful faces!

Oh, and if you haven’t “LIKED” Melissa Rodriguez Photography on Facebook you are really missing out on being the first to see sneak peeks and hear about upcoming mini session specials!! There’s one actually up right now, so go check it out! There are 2 session slots remaining for the SUGAR RUSH Valentine’s Day mini sessions! E-mail me at info@melissarodriguezphotography.com for more information.

First up, this beautiful mommy from last fall. She is so stunning! The sunlight at her session was a photographer’s dream as was she! Thank you so much Pamela for trusting me to capture your maternity portraits!

I photographed little Nicolas when he was just born and I was so excited to see him again and see how much he has grown. He is so cute and such a sweet little man. He really enjoyed exploring and I had so much fun chasing and playing with him!

Mariana and Bubba, thank you so much for letting me capture your beautiful family again! Congratulations on three years of marriage! Wishing you many more years of happiness! Hope you love the peek! 🙂

Vanessa and Sal, congratulations on your marriage! Thank you so much for trusting me to capture one of the most special days in your lives. It was an honor.  I hope these images allow you to relive your beautiful day over again nearly a month later. You both looked amazing and the love that you share for one another shows in each moment captured.

Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!

 

Aren’t they the cutest siblings ever?!?! Such a sweet moment captured between the two of them too….sigh….so precious! I photographed Layla when she was a baby and was so happy to find out that I’d be photographing baby brother Caleb too!  This little man really fought us on taking a nap, but he closed his eyes for about 1 minute and I was able to get a few sleeping images. 🙂 I know mom has been patiently waiting for this peek. Hope you enjoy! Thanks so much Holly and Travis for trusting me to photograph your beautiful family again!

Oh I love love them. Caleb & Layla look so adorable. Great job Melissa!

What a tiny peanut this precious little man was! He was such a good baby for me and a little cutie to boot! The image with him and his mommy is a new favorite of mine. Erica, you look amazing! There is something so special about photos of mothers and their babies…every ounce of love is visible. Erica and Rally, thank you so much for allowing me to capture Mason’s newborn portraits. I hope you enjoy the peek! 🙂
