Melissa Toms Photography

I have had a lot of inquiries in the past few days about booking photo sessions for the fall or holidays.  I had to take a limited number of sessions for the fall/holidays due to the impending arrival of our new baby in December.  Those sessions are currently all full.  I will be taking a maternity leave at the beginning January, but I should be back up and running when the weather warms back up.  I will likely post just after Christmas with info about booking Spring sessions.  Thanks so much for all your inquiries and support

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the children at my sons preschool. We are so blessed to have found the most wonderful Mothers Day Out program for him at a local church and we have loved being a part of their family for the last three years. The kids there were all so much fun and I now know “what kind of birthday” everyone had last year

Hope everyone had an awesome Easter weekend. We were very busy, but made sure to take some time and just do family stuff. This was the first year we have ever attempted dying eggs together. Someone LOVED their bunny ears they made at school on Thursday and decided he was going to wear them EVERYWHERE for the next two daysBut he is really starting to understand what Easter is TRULY all about and that was the greatest part.

Love these photos of newborn baby Mallory. I had the privilege of photographing Mason’s first year, so it was really fun to get to see him in the role of big brother now, almost 2 years later. Watching my clients families grow is one of the things I love so much about what I do. Two years from now baby Mallory might be a big sister herself, and it will be hard to remember how tiny she was and what life was like on those first few days home. The photos will help to tell that story.

Okay, so I told myself I was going to catch up on my blogging while the weather was cold and I had less going on…but of course things have been busier than ever and I still haven’t had the time to sit down and share all my sessions from 2010. We have had so much going on this winter I just haven’t had a free moment. Now the weather is warming up and I am getting super busy again. Here are a few from a family shoot back in the fall. Enjoy
