Baby Jordan | Provo, Utah Newborn Baby Photographer

19 September 2011

Meet sweet little Jordan... just over a week old and 6 pounds of perfection!  He did so wonderful the entire session- hardly made a peep!  He is such a beautiful baby boy.  I love his tiny, perfect features, that heavenly peach fuzz on his skin, and his calm, sweet demeanor.  It's amazing how their personalities are apparent at such an early age!  His mommy looked just as beautiful too and it was a pleasure capturing them both.  I had such a tough time narrowing down which images I wanted to share on my blog that I'm basically sharing almost all of them.  :)  Every time I get to photograph a newborn I realize how special and fleeting this time really is.  Any of you out there thinking of booking a newborn session?  Go for it!  I promise it will be worth your while to be able to have keepsake images of your baby that will last forever.

Summer girls | Utah County Child Photographer

12 September 2011

Just had to share some shots I got a few weeks ago of my two little cuties.  For the record, they are for sure the hardest children to photograph!  Maybe it has something to do with being in front of the camera constantly.  :)  Who knows.  I sure do love this time of year though.  I think all of those sunflowers that are growing like crazy everywhere I look are just calling my name, wanting to be photographed!  I had a gallery wrap made of one of these shots, that I will have to share a photo of sometime.  I also will share some cute beach photos from our recent trip sometime soon.  All in due time...

But in other news, my GIVEAWAY is coming very soon!  Stay tuned in the next day or so for all of the details.  You won't want to miss this one!!

Lundwall Family | Springville, Utah Family Portrait Photographer

08 September 2011

I keep wanting to blog all of the fun photos I've been taking and some of the specials I have been dreaming up that I mentioned about a while back, but it's just been a crazy last few weeks.  I will catch up eventually!  We got to go to Disneyland in the middle of all of that though, so it doesn't get much better than that (especially if you ask my 3-year-old...).  :)  I've been posting little sneak peeks and stuff on my Facebook page though- I seem to be better at updating that one lately than my blog!  Don't forget to go "like" Melanie Rice Photography if you haven't already, so you can keep up with my latest work!

Well tangent aside... What a great session I had with the Lundwall family recently! I can hardly believe that seven months have already flown by since I photographed sweet little Alyeska as a newborn.  These guys are just the cutest little family and are just great people all around.  Alyeska is just as beautiful as she was when I met her as a newborn.  I've enjoyed getting to know them better and it is always a huge honor to have a client come back for another session.  It's funny, Ashli found me through a mutual friend but then we found out later that her husband also used to drive tour buses through Alaska with my brother!  So random, and what a small world we live in!  Anyway, it was a fun session.  I love trying out new locations, and I think I definitely found a new favorite spot!  Enjoy these fun photos.
