I’m submitting 3 photos in three different categories to the Bliss Photo of the Year contest. The owner, Amanda Freeman, is a Michigan local who I’ve had the privilege of meeting – she’s fab!

Well what better way to enter the contest then have you, my readers and clients choose which images I should submit! Exciting, right?!

The first category I’ll be choosing will be: ENGAGEMENTS. (stay tuned for the contest for weddings)

Below you’ll find 19 engagement session images to choose from. To vote for your favorite please leave a COMMENT on the blog with your Letter choice. Only one vote per person, please. Voting will happen from Right Now through February 9th at midnight. You can also vote on facebook:  Go to http://www.facebook.com/melaniereyesphotography and become a FAN. Find the E-session Contest photo and leave your vote in the comment section.  Only one comment per person allowed, please no voting on facebook and the blog.

…and to make this more FUN! The image with the most votes will first be entered into the contest AND that couple will win that image in 11×14 for their new home!

So, yes I’m a portrait and wedding photographer, but who wouldn’t want to shoot a beautiful scene like this? I love getting to take a breather, go out with camera and have an adventure of sorts. It’s peaceful, calming and fun to see the end result.

Seeing as most of the country is covered in this stuff, I share this with you. Enjoy your snowy or snowed in weekend. And to you in the very very south, consider me Green with Envy! (or white?!) :)

Isn’t this couple too cute? They couldn’t stop giggling the whole time! And despite the FRIGID temperatures we got some wonderful photos using the UMMA (Uni of Michigan Museum of Art) as well as stepping outside for a few!

J&M, thanks for a great time, can’t wait until your wedding! I’ve gotta feeling it’s going to be AMAZING!

and I leave you with this gorgeous image…can’t wait to show you them all!


I LOVE photographing newborns, and this time it was Twice as Nice! These two delightful girls were amazing during their photoshoot, and look at proud big sister!

Thanks for the opportunity to freeze this moment in time – they’re so little and lovely!

Thanks to “Tutu2cute” for this awesome birthday outfit for one of my clients! Isn’t it adorable? She sells them in sets (headband, tutu, and onsie!) and it’s all customizable. Check it out!

And when you’re little one is turning one (boy or girl!) keep Melanie Reyes Photography in mind. It’s of my favorite types of sessions – cakes and balloons, tutus and flowers, oh my! m.r.photography@mac.com


Molly is a very special dog. She is a Portuguese Water Dog, trained by Michelle McCarthy. Molly works in Moore Pediatrics and Associates as a therapy dog. Molly is training to be a certified therapy dog, and is there to help kids feel better about coming to the doctor’s office. She can visit with kids in the waiting room and keep them company during their appointments.

I had the privilege of photographing Molly, Molly and her trainer, Molly and Dr Moore and Molly with some patients. Here are a few I was able to capture, isn’t she adorable!?

This was a personally beautiful way to start my work for the year of 2010.  This sweet little girl was born a year ago this week very prematurely. So to photograph this beautiful baby girl on the Huge celebration of her first year was a privilege!

Happy Birthday, sweet girl! Hope you celebrate in style today!
