Senior 2010~Ashley | Rio Grande Valley senior photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

I had such a great time photographing Ashley for her senior portraits! It was such a perfect session - perfect model, perfect weather, perfect light and we finished up at the perfect location! You are a natural in front of the camera and could seriously be a model girl! Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your senior portraits. You look amazingly gorgeous (LOVE the first one)! I’m so happy that we all braved the field of sticker burrs because I think the field images are some of my new favorites!! :) Hope you enjoy these!

My gorgeous little sister | Rio Grande Valley senior photographer

I got to go out and take some senior photos of my little sister who is graduating this year. She’s not so little anymore! :) She is so beautiful in these photos and could seriously be a model. I love her blue eyes. They just pop out of every single image. I’m looking forward to more photos before she leaves for college next fall! I played with some different processing and had fun mixing it up for a change. I can’t wait to design her graduation invitations! Love ya Amber!

Lori and Victor

Thanks so much for having me take your college grad portraits! That has a nice ring to it doesn’t it?!! In four weeks this brother and sister will be UTPA college graduates. Lori is taking a path that looks identical to the one I took….majoring in public relations/advertising and she’s hopefully on her way to grad school in the fall. ;) And, I know Victor has a career in TV/film in his future because he’s very talented. And if that doesn’t work out there’s always comedy because the guy is seriously hilarious and such fun to be around! I had such a great time with you both at the session and with your mom too. :)

Well, enjoy your sneak peek…

Beautiful senior

I remember the day she was born…I even got balloons at school. I remember she loved to watch Barney and sing and dance along. I remember that she never made the best doll when playing house because she would always crawl away when I wanted to play with her. And now, I can’t believe she’s all grown up. A senior. About to graduate and embark on her own journey. This is one of many sessions I’ll be having with my little sis before she heads off to college to pursue her dreams. I know she worries about what she’ll do and where she’ll go, but she’s one of the most talented, honest, sweet and good hearted people I know, so I know she will find her calling and make us so proud. She’s just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. :)
