Baby girl Lliana came to my studio when she was 10 days old for her newborn photoshoot. Due to her mama having another appointment I knew I wouldn't have as much time to work with and pose her so I was praying she was going to be very sleepy so that I could pose her easily and in a timely manner. With such relief Lliana was an angel! She was so sleepy her entire session and let me mold an pose her any which way I wanted. Her mama really wanted to make sure that we got family

I first met Shannon on a local military wives page on Facebook. Her husband is Navy, mine Army. We planned on her wearing a few of my gowns for a mini maternity photo session. From the moment I met her and her husband at beginning of the session taking place at Northwest Community Park I adored them. Our personalities just clicked. She does some photography on the side so that gave us even more a little bit in common as well. From start to finish we were all just laughing at

Here at Melanie McCarty Photography I specialize in Maternity through the first year. I try to make things as easy as possible for my clients which is why I provide props, newborn outfits/headbands, and I also have over 20 maternity gowns available for rental to my clients (my collection is always growing). Clients tend to love this option so that they can wear a beautiful maternity gown at a fraction of the cost that they would pay to purchase one, especially since the chanc

When baby Dax came to visit me in my home studio for his newborn photo session he was 8 days new and oh so tiny at 5 lbs 12oz. It was a huge difference from the 10 lb newborn I had in my studio the week prior. Thats what I love about newborns and babies in general, they're all different and no two are the same (even twins). Dax was an AMAZING newborn to work with! He barely fussed one tiny bit, only ate once, and had the baby fingers that newborn photographers dream of. Belie

When I think of blonde hair blue eyes I envision someone who looks like Mallory. She's seriously so beautiful and absolutely glowing with her pregnancy. Mallory is expecting a baby boy and this will be her 4th baby. I know she doesn't like like it! Every maternity gown I put Mallory in she looked divine! We chose to do her maternity photoshoot at Northwest Community Park (yup that is by far my favorite location, especially for maternity). I can't wait to meet her baby boy and

Whitney is a long time client of mine. I first met her when she chose me to be the photographer for her family photography session. I instantly adored her and her family. Shortly after Whitney booked another session with me, this time it was a gender reveal for her new pregnancy with her 4th baby. It was a boy! Fast forward a few months and since we're military we moved back to our home state of TX from CO before her baby boy Liam was born :( . Needless to say I wasn't able t

After doing Crystal's maternity photo session a few months ago (which she ROCKED), she took advantage of an in studio special I was offering to promote my new photography studio, and I had the pleasure to photograph all three of her boys. Her boys are ages 5, 2, and 2 months so being a boy mom myself I know the session was going to be anything but boring. Well as the title stats, goofy is the best way to describe it. There were smiles, some tears, but mostly a ton of sillines

Another great maternity photo session in the books with the beautiful Belen. She is already a mama to two children, a boy and a girl. Soon another baby boy will be arriving for the tie breaker. We had to re schedule her session not only once, but twice, thanks to someone driving a jeep into a water line causing it to break and for her to loose all her water pressure, and because of good ol' mother nature. I loved her enthusiasm for wanting to do her maternity session in the p

So in my eyes I see that every pregnant mama is beautiful, which is why maternity is my favorite to shoot. Whether its their glow, their baby bump, their amazing hair (gotta love the vitamins from prenatals), their love for their unborn child, no matter what the specific reason is, they're all absolutely beautiful. Well everyone meet Cristal, she's the type of pregnant beauty that I envied when I was pregnant with my son. She has all the aspects of what makes a pregnant women

Everyone meet the Berry twins Nolan and London. Yup, I went there with the title of this blog. I can't help it, I just love silly jokes like that, lol. I don't know about all photographers, but when I hear twins I get excited. Jennifer (their mama), wanted a vintage cake smash session. She had me already hooked at twins then when she said vintage I became even more in love! We held the session at my studio here in Fort Worth TX and this is how it went. Mama and daddy said tha
