After a loooong "Mama break", I'm getting back into the swing of things and picking the camera back up again! It's been so fun to begin photographing again and seeing some of my clients.... as well as meeting new ones! 

I've freshened up a few things from my branding & logo design, to packaging to my portfolio  - the portfolio updates are currently still in the works of course!

I've been busy the last few weeks photographing some wonderful (and beautiful!) couples.....






I had the privilege of photographing Laurin, and her Husband, who were expecting their first little one this very month! She is simply stunning.... see for yourself! 


                         

I just found out that their little man has arrived! I can't wait to meet him!


I had SO much fun with these two. 
We were at a site just on the outskirts of town, and it was so serene, quiet & beautiful with the tall grasses & the sun starting to set. It was peaceful. I might just go there when I need a getaway :) 


Thank you both for making my 1st Maternity shoot back from my break so enjoyable,
and congratulations on welcoming your son!

I also had the chance to capture another beautiful Mama, and her Hubby for an outdoor maternity shoot last weekend. I am loving these outdoor sessions! Dana is so gorgeous, and is expecting their 2nd little one later this summer... I photographed their daughter as a newborn several years ago & now will be honored to photograph their new & tiny family member due in a few months!

                         

I enjoy being able to capture parents together - both with bebe bump in the shot & without. 





The setting was again on the outskirts of town, with tall grasses & setting sun. 






 I love to capture this time in a couples life... it's what seems like a blink of an eye when I look back at my three pregnancies. It's also a wonderful opportunity for Mama's to pamper themselves & FEEL as beautiful as they are! 

I currently have a select few dates available for Outdoor Maternity sessions starting in July! You can even book directly on my website http://www.melaneeselbyphotography.com

New Props!


I'm so excited to be getting in some of the new things I have ordered for Newborn sessions.... I still have more on the way that I am really anxious to get in my hands! These are just a few of the things that are arriving & I couldn't help but share because I think they are just lovely!



On the way are some sweet organic feeling bonnets, basket filler "fluff & backdrop fabrics too! And my new Shoot Baby! posing bag arrived which I am really excited about - my posing beanbag I had been using had seen better days!

Newborn sessions are also available on Saturdays at my home studio! You can book your Newborn session on my website as well at http://www.melaneeselbyphotography.com 

Stay tuned!
