Meet the Precious Hart Family (Melissa, TX Family Photographer)

You know, I always think on how *small* Melissa, TX is and how I must know everyone, but do you know, I did not know this beautiful family until one of Senior Models referred them to me. *go 2010 Senior Model MORGAN!* :)
We had a lot of fun doing these shoots. This was the first professional pictures for their little 2 year old, so we took him out for a photo shoot all by himself - and a captured whisper came of that - please check it out below. There are 9 canvas and they are all 9" a piece. We are going all sepia as his room is done in browns and blues - I can not wait to get them up! :)
When they got married 16 yrs ago they didn't have much money to celebrate with - super simple wedding on a shoestring budget, but now the LORD has and continues to bless this family's business and they are going all out this year. I won't be at the actual wedding on the beach - they are at one of those resorts that don't allow professional photographers, but when they return we are already scheduling their bridal and engagement session - wait until you see this breath-taking wedding gown! And the bride is so cool with who she, this will be an easy photo shoot. - so be looking for more images of this couple soon... ;)

enjoy,
-melissa :)

The Aston Family

We try to give back every chance we get. One of the ways we do that is by donating to the school in Melissa ISD and local foundations that support McKillop Elementary. One such foundation is the Melissa Education Foundation. They host an auction in fall and we like to donate a session and product that members will enjoy bidding for and wining.
The Aston Family won the listing last year, but due to sports schedules, full-body casts, etc.. *HAHA* we were just recently able to get together. But it was worth the wait. Other then it being a SUPER HOT TEXAS SUMMER DAY, we had a wonderful time capturing their family whispers.
enjoy,
-melissa. :)
