At Home with Baby Avery Jane | Redwood City, CA

by mphotoadmin | Jun 7, 2018

One of the best feelings in life is seeing the people closest to you happy and in love. Seeing is one thing but getting to be part of these intimate moments I get to selfishly feel just a little bit of their bliss. I have said it before but telling a story for someone through my lens is like tapping into that person’s soul for just a little while. These moments inevitably change me as person. I learn something new about myself after every session. Spending a few hours with a person getting to know them and capturing the most raw parts of them… that is my CHURCH.

This beautiful afternoon in Redwood City I was able to capture my thoughtful and beautiful friend Laurel, her attentive and goofy husband, Bob and their sweet, precious baby girl Avery Jane. They welcomed Avery on April 9th and they have been swooning over her ever since. Avery already loves going on adventures with mom and dad to the redwoods and even wine tasting. She especially loves watching her favorite sports teams, Sixers and Phillies with daddy. I think she loves cuddling with mom and dad the most out of all these things.

It was such a gift getting to photographing my friends and their new adventure.

Cannot wait to come visit again and get all the cuddles!

Love auntie,

Mel

Class of 2018- THAT'S A WRAP

Boy Oh Boy what a crazy and amazing year it has been. This wraps up my first year focusing on High School Seniors. A decision I came to after finding myself spending way to much time on the teenage girls during family photoshoots. I just love everything about their vibe. I am so eager to tell their story and be a mentor to these wonderful young women.

I have learned a great deal about myself and my business through them. It has really helped me to define my brand and remind myself why I started photographing in the first place. I hope that I can show these young adults what it is like to be a powerful young women that has created a business and is thriving. I want them to know that they can create their own destiny and find what they are passionate about and make their dreams come true!

To my sweet, courageous and beautiful Reps. Thank you for taking a risk on me and being my first ever MGP Reps! I have loved getting to know each one of you and cannot wait to see what you do with this beautiful life!
