Hello!

Hi and welcome to my blog. Thanks so much for visiting. I am a photographer located in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. I specialize in maternity, newborn, childrens and family photography, but also love photographing engaged couples, weddings and seniors.

My style is casual and natural and seeks to capture a slice of life! I use natural light to document your sweet moments and will work with you to find the perfect outdoor location that will reflect your family’s personality.

This blog will be where you can see my most recent work and catch up on the latest news and promotions. So come back often! :)

Baby K | Rio Grande Valley baby photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

Well, we tried and tried to get this little man to sleep, but 3 month olds don’t want to miss anything that’s going on around them and Baby K certainly didn’t either. His mommy really wanted photos of him sleeping and in the brief 60 seconds that his eyes were closed during the session, I got one shot of him sleeping! So, I hope you like the photo of your sleeping little angel! :) However, with a smile like his, I’m so glad we got to see it the whole session! Talk about a happy boy!! Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your sweet baby boy. He is so precious. Hope you enjoy the peek!

Miss A | Rio Grande Valley children’s photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

It was so much fun photographing Miss A! She’s my Maddie’s playmate everyday and they love each other so much.  She has the most beautiful blue eyes and a gorgeous smile. I have to admit that photographing one and a half year olds is tough. They are usually more interested in their surroundings than looking at me. But she was so happy running around and playing with her mom that we got so many great shots! I  love all of her little expressions! So sweet! Thanks for trusting me to photograph your baby girl! Hope you enjoy the peek!

This first photo is one of my favorites. I knew the second I took it that I was going to love it!

Baby J | Rio Grande Valley newborn photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

I had a wonderful time photographing this sweet little man. He is too cute! Thanks so much Donelle and Jason for trusting me to capture your new addition. I know he has two big brothers and one big sister that are going to love him so much! Hope you enjoy the peek!

I adore this one of him and his mommy! So sweet! :)

First of all, today is a special day, because I think it’s going to be baby girl’s “birth” day today! :) Can’t wait to meet her! I had a wonderful time with you both. Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your pregnancy. Cynthia, you look amazing! You have such a perfect baby bump. From the few hours we spent together, I can tell that you and Rick love to laugh with one another. Your little girl is so lucky to have parents who love each other so much. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Baby D | Rio Grande Valley newborn photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

This little guy was such a joy to work with! He must have know his mommy wanted some images of him smiling because he smiled for the camera several times. What a cutie! I just love the image of him and his mommy. So sweet! He is such a lucky little man to have parents who adore him. Dan and Alex, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your baby boy! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Baby S | Rio Grande Valley newborn photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

I’ve photographed so many baby boys lately, that it feels like forever since I’ve photographed a baby girl! She was such an angel for me and is just beautiful! Such sweet and feminine features…and the cutest cheeks!

Jessica, thank you so much for trusting me to photograph your precious baby girl. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Brothers | Rio Grande Valley newborn photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

I’ve been waiting such a long time to finally meet these twin baby boys. They were more precious than I could have imagined! Meet Baby V and Baby N! After spending several weeks in the NICU they are home and healthy. And, they were the best little models during our session. I could have spent an entire day photographing them! What a dream! Melissa and Alex, if you need a babysitter, just drop them off and my camera and I will watch them all day! ;) Congratulations on your baby boys! Thank you for trusting me to capture them! Hope you enjoy the peek!

Mine | Rio Grande Valley children’s photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

I’m getting much better about making time to photograph my little one and it makes me so happy! And, I must say she’s becoming quite the model/actress (must get her acting abilities from daddy). She’s growing up so fast and I want to remember her just as she is right now. Lovable. Caring. Sensitive. Passionate. Strong willed. Spirited. Perceptive. Persistent. Imaginative. Intelligent. Sassy. Helpful. Enthusiastic. Curious. Dramatic. Did I already write dramatic? Ah, yes. No harm in listing it twice. ;) Everything that a 3-year-old little girl should be and so much more! :)

Amy and Colin | Rio Grande Valley wedding photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

Amy and Colin, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your marriage and your beautiful wedding. I am so very happy for you two! You make such a picture-perfect couple! I can see the love you two share for another in these images and I am so honored to have been a part of your special day. Hope you can relive it each time you look at the photos. Enjoy the peek! :)

Meet Baby T | Rio Grande Valley newborn photographer | Melissa Rodriguez Photography

Baby T was such a good baby for me! He just ate and slept and ate and slept…and put up with all of my posing. He woke up at the end of the session and was quite the little model. He even flashed a few grins my way! Thank you Christie for trusting me to capture this stage of his childhood. Hope you enjoy the peek!
