A vision in red!
Jolie first messaged me a few months back wanting to take advantage of the photography special I was having with a booked parent/sibling newborn session she would receive a free mini maternity session. Her maternity session was held at Northwest Community Park in the Beginning of December. The Texas weather was good to us and it was beautiful out! Jolie brought a couple of her own gowns she wanted to wear, but I had a feeling she would love one of my red maternity dressed due


She reminds me of Princess Belle
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


Available Maternity Gowns For Rent
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


Blue is definitely her color
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


Beautiful Inside and Out
This is Chrissy. She is a wonderful giving person, beautiful on both the inside and out, and an amazing devoted mother to her little girl. She also happens to be one of my very best friends. As you can see Chrissy is 8 months pregnant with her second baby girl. Well, at least we think she's pregnant, it may just be too many tacos lol. Whether its a beautiful baby girl or a taco fiesta I asked her to model some of the many new maternity gowns I have to offer my clients. She ha


Breathtaking!
Like most of my maternity sessions we shot Miss Dayanara's maternity photos at Northwest Community Park. Theres is so much versatility at this location including a waterfall (its a hike to go there so I don't use it often), fields, trails, even a beautiful large pong and a doc! Pretty much a photographers dream location. Also like any of my maternity sessions where the pregnant mama chooses to rent one of my maternity dresses Dayanara came to my studio a few days before her s


She's beautiful both inside and out
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


One gorgeous pregnant beauty
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
