Celebrating Adoption | Ann Arbor Children’s Photographer

12Jun11

I feel very blessed to be a part of an organization that gifts Adoptive families with a Portrait Session soon after they’ve adopted. The session I had this weekend was no exception. My heart swells to see a beautiful child ADORED and Welcomed in their new family. What a special gift, certainly one worth celebrating!

Enjoy these photos – they sure do make my heart happy – hope they do for you, too.

If you have a friend that’s adopted, shoot me an email and tell me! info@melaniereyesphotography.com so I can contact them with more information on a portrait session for their family. Thanks!

Melanie

 

 

and I leave you with one of my favortie family images – gorgeous doors for a backdrop, but the best part of all baby being loved and adored…her smile shows how much she Loves it.

Beauty, Defined. | Ann Arbor Newborn Photographer

11Jun11

Most times seeing a new baby and being able to capture them takes my breath away. This, my friends, is beauty – defined. And I often think it’s unbelievable that I have the priveldge of capturing such a tiny new person- the beginning of all things pure and beautiful. I think you’ll agree when you see these two beauties I captured last week. It’s as if you can see all things wonderful when they gaze into your eyes (or the camera, which I’m always impressed by!) and then to see their sweet siblings loving them is *sigh* just beauty itself.

So here’s to new life…two sweet little girls capturing it very well….Welcome to the world, sweet little girls!

Engagements in St Paul | National Wedding Photographer

26May11

I traveled to one of my favorite cities (or 2) last weekend – St Paul/Minneapolis. I had a very short trip and large agenda, thankfully it was a success!

These are two couples I’ll be photographing in the Fall for their upcoming 2011 wedding. So thrilled for them both and I think their excitement shows in these photos.

Hope you enjoy the preview.

Until I blog the next wedding,

Melanie

April showers bring May…weddings! | Melanie Reyes Photography

16May11

*contented sigh* May has come (even if the warmth hasn’t) and beautiful wedding season has begun. Meet Mary and Scott. You might recognize these two from a recent engagement session that involved sunsets and books Remember?

This is one of those couples who are just made for each other. Together they have such a quiet contentment about them – they’re both Strong, Confident and Intelligent. It’s obvious that they enjoy one another as well as Adore one another. I think you’ll see it in these photos. And what wedding wouldn’t be complete without so many friends and family to witness such a fine event?

Take 2 minutes to view this video – you’ll be glad you did. I dare you not to smile or sigh!

I’m really excited about this wedding season! I’m shooting more weddings than ever this year pretty well paced throughout the summer/fall/winter. If you were at this weekend’s wedding you might have seen a gal that’s going to be shooting a lot of Michigan weddings with me, her name is Deana and she’s fabulous – make sure you say HI if you see her!

Leave some blog or Facebook love for the couple to read!

Many blessings to you, Mr and Mrs!

Love, Melanie Reyes

Back to Reality! | Ann Arbor Senior Photographer

02May11

After a wonderful eight days with the family in Florida I’m back to the (still) freezing north and back to work. We couldn’t have picked a better time to get away as summer around here means lots of work and booked weekends. It was Awesome.

I hit the ground running catching up with a few 2011 seniors who needed their senior portraits (pronto). Lo and behold it didn’t rain and there is even some hint of green around here, Thank you GOD!

Enjoy this little snapshot of the two sessions I had this past weekend, Happy Monday everyone~
