What I've been up to...

Hello, blog land!  I haven't checked in for a while.  Chalk it up to a usual busy fall season and all of the other fun things I've been enjoying with my family this past month.  I love this time of year!!  What about you??  I've been sharing a few sneak previews over on my Facebook page, but here they are for you non-Facebookers.  (Go  head over and "like" my page if you haven't yet, so you can keep up with the latest!)

Also, it's the last call for fall portraits!  The fall colors are quickly fading and the weather seems to get cooler every day.  I have room for about one or two more sessions in November before I'm booked for the year.  Email me at ricemelanie@gmail.com for all of the details!

And now for the photos... :)  Full blog posts coming soon!









And who's that?? Yep, it's me and my little family captured by the amazing Chelsy.  I can't wait to see more from our own session last week!

Calvin -- 8 months old | Utah Baby Photographer

I can't believe how the time flies!  I've had the wonderful opportunity of photographing Calvin as a newborn and now at 8 months old (of course he's even older now... I'm a little behind on blogging!).  It is always such a joy to see my littlest "clients" grow up.  I have the best job.  Calvin's sweet family has come to me several times for photos over the years and it is an incredible honor to be able to make these memories for them.  I am so lucky to know such great families like his!

This age range of 6-8 months is seriously my favorite.  It is perfect because they can sit up, they can't crawl away from you just yet, and they think absolutely everything is fun and entertaining.  :)  They can't help but flash all those sweet gummy grins and stare up at you with their big eyes.  Calvin was no exception... he was so incredibly sweet the whole time.  He has the most amazing brown eyes and is just such a sweet and mellow kid.  Without further ado, enjoy this cute little guy!
