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

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

Well this is new, writing a blog about...myself. Unless you follow my Facebook you probably don't know that I'm pregnant and expecting baby #2. After months and months of trying to get pregnant (with my son it took a year), I finally found out I was pregnant in June of 2017!!! When it comes to my photography I am a very patient person, when it comes to my own life, well not so much lol. I didn't want to wait until 20 week to find out if I was having a baby boy or a baby girl.

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

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

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

Maternity model call to show available gowns by Melanie McCart Photography

After Chrissy found out she was pregnant with her second child she started googling fun ways to tell her husband. She saw a photo idea and loved it immediately. Thats when she messaged me. I've been wanting to do this style session for a while so I jumped on board right away. We had scheduled the session at Eagle Mountain Park only 2 days away and she could hardly contain her excitement and almost told her hubby on accident a couple times. But can you blame her? I began their
