Rockin Family Session / Hillsborough NC Family Photographer

I am quite behind on blogging sooo I thought I would do a little catching up this evening! Starting with the oh so fabulous Williams Family. They were totally awesome and were totally up for whatever, their one request... no normal family sit down and smile here pictures, they wanted fun and edgy. The rain didn't hold us down either we did what we had to do and I totally had a blast. Definitely love these guys!!!

Curious / Graham NC Baby Photographer

This little man was the cutiest thing ever. I was amazed at how easy it was to photograph him. In the hour I spent with him not once did I hear him cry. Not once did he sleep either I think he was all about what was going on around him. I can tell he is going to be a curious little thing for sure. And those eyes... those big blue beautiful eyes!!! I am going to truely enjoy photographing him through the years!!

Testing Testing

Just download a new app for blogging and thought I would test it out!! I freaking love this thing!! Wouldn't feel right without a cute photo. Check out miss Sarah we were playing around before a shoot I had on Tuesday!!

Happy New Year ~ And a New Website!

Well, Happy really really late New Year!!! For those that know me know I have been busy out the wazoo with trying to get my new website up and running. By the way it's still in the works, however it is up I just need to make a few more minor tweaks and wallah!!! So feel free to stop by and check it out www.melissasmithphotography.net

Now, on to the new year... I have to say I can not believe it is 2010 there are days I still feel like a teenager, days I can't believe I have a 10 year old beautiful little girl. There are also days I feel like Thank God I am no longer a teenager haha. Every year I make the same resolutions as most people, loose weight, exercise, eat right, blah blah blah they never work out for me. As a matter a fact it normally goes in the opposite direction. So this year I said the heck with that!! I did however decide I do want to make the next 10 years even better than these last 10 years so I am going to put together a list of "The Next 10" Which is just my list of the next 10 years, things I want to accomplish both personal and business related and hopefully I can accomplish at least 1 thing on that list in the next 10 years!!!

Seems a little werid posting a blog with out at least one image so here is one of my favorites of the girls!
