Sweet little Emma came to visit me in the fall and I’m so happy to finally blog some of the photos from her session. She is just beautiful and was as sweet as could be!

If you’re interested in scheduling a photo session for your newborn, please e-mail me at info@melissarodriguezphotography.com. I am now booking newborn sessions for January, February, March, April and beyond.

 

Sisters | Rio Grande Valley maternity photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

When Angela first contacted me I was so excited to learn that not only would I be photographing her and her baby bump, but her sister was coming to visit her and was also expecting! They were a few months apart in their pregnancies and wanted photos together! I had so much fun with these beautiful expecting mommies and am so thankful that they trusted me to document this special time. These images were taken in October and you can see a hint of fall in the trees!:)

Happy 2012!! | Rio Grande Valley maternity photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

Boy, have I really not blogged since October?!?! I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I came to my blog today and literally had forgotten my log-in information and how to even post an update…it had been SOOOO long!

The last quarter of 2011 was a bit of a whirlwind for Melissa Rodriguez Photography and I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to meet and photograph so many beautiful babies, kiddos and families. Thank you for making 2011 so spectacular! I am really looking forward to what 2012 has in store for us – including some new product offerings and special mini sessions throughout the year!

I’m going to get caught up on the blog this month, so be ready to see a ton of beautiful faces!

Oh, and if you haven’t “LIKED” Melissa Rodriguez Photography on Facebook you are really missing out on being the first to see sneak peeks and hear about upcoming mini session specials!!

V Family | Rio Grande Valley family photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

I photographed little Nicolas when he was just born and I was so excited to see him again and see how much he has grown. He is so cute and such a sweet little man. He really enjoyed exploring and I had so much fun chasing and playing with him!

Mariana and Bubba, thank you so much for letting me capture your beautiful family again! Congratulations on three years of marriage! Wishing you many more years of happiness! Hope you love the peek!:)
