March…

…has been my worst enemy this year! I can’t stand all of the rain, it’s torture. BUT, we have had a few good moments, and if you can’t beat it, join it!

Michael LOVES being outside! Even if he is soaking wet…

Henry lives in a world of make-believe these days…so cute!

My Little Cutie Pie…

Here’s my Michael. He is getting so big at 1 year old already (It helps that he eats just as much if not more than his big brothers!). I think that the year between 1-2 is just the cutest! The chubby legs, belly, and arms stage. All the gibberish. The “I-understand-you-but-I’m-going-to-see-how-long-it-takes-for-you-to-realize-it” stage. It’s all my favorite. They are still sweet, still so innocent…

…but by the looks of this irresistible face, you know I’m in for it!

Welcome little William {Newborn Photographer}

I was given the opportunity to photograph my friends newborn baby at two weeks old! She wanted to do it quick, because newborns seem to change every day! So, we did it the day before they left to visit family for Christmas, and when they got back, he looked so different. I am so glad we got it done…

Here are a couple of my favs…

Sneak Peek: Salem, Oregon Family Photo-shoot

Melanie Jade — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 06:42:01 +0000

I don’t do families that often, but I look forward to playing with these guys a couple times a year! This is just a sneak peek, but it was just one of those times when I can’t wait to get home to look at a certain series of images, ’cause I know there is just something great to be seen. We went and did this photo-shoot my backyard as well as downtown Salem, Oregon where I just had to get this shot in the parking garage! I love the light in parking garages. I’ve decided that it is a must in any urban-type photo-shoot…

Isaac’s Senior Portraits

This is Isaac, my Brother Marshal’s good friend, and my new “adopted brother”. Marshal has been living with Isaac’s Family for over a year now, maybe two, while he is working to save money for mission. Isaac has become like another brother to Marsh, as well as Issacs 6 other siblings! He has become a regular member in our family as well as we have all gotten to know him too. He comes to our family get togethers, and we will miss him while he and Marsh are both going to be on missions soon!

This is my “Isaac-needs-a-girlfriend shot…”

You can see Marsh and me in the glasses! Marsh was helping me think of cool manly poses the

whole time, since I don’t photograph guys that often…it was fun

Playing dress-up

Okay so I am having so much fun with these slide shows that I grabbed my sister Julianna the other day to do a photo shoot and make another slideshow! She helped with a lot of this session, picking out her own outfits, and helping me edit the pictures. Her style is so unique, and most definitely beautiful! She goes for over-sized shirts, in fact those two in this session are actually mine, and she likes to look a little grunge. I can’t believe she is only 10 years old…we are in for some real trouble!
