While I understand not everyone has great taste in art and possibly even viewed the images as provocative, but we are all entitled to our views. However I figured these images were just way to beautiful not to be seen. Tore' photographed beautifully and I have to say this was probably my favorite maternity sessions ever. She gave me full creative control and she was very happy with the outcome and to me that is all that matters. <br /><br />So here they are I hope you can see the true beauty in these as I do.<br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6661bw.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6661bw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6646.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6646.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6645.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6645.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6629.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6629.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6614bw.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6614bw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6602.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6602.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />xoxoMelissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661611558447884425noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229520979230065307.post-71318625454014467652011-07-08T20:47:00.000-07:002011-07-08T20:57:26.706-07:00BEACH PORTRAIT SPECIALWe are so excited about this.

The colors are just breath taking and second because I LOVE the North Carolina Mountains. Sara and Zach's wedding was a small ceremony with just family which to me is so romantic. My second shooter/best friend Noelle spent the entire weekend in the mountains so we were able to capture not only the wedding but we had a fabulous day after session with just Sara and Zach. As some of you may know I am a huge facebook fan so some of you may already know how much fun it was for Noelle and I spending the weekend in the mountains. Some might say even a little too much fun. But, that's how we roll hehe. <br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=1-15.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/1-15.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=2-15.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/2-15.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=3-11.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/3-11.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=4-8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/4-8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=5-8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/5-8.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=6-7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/6-7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661611558447884425noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229520979230065307.post-73793735619442252682011-03-30T14:27:00.001-07:002011-03-30T14:43:19.098-07:00Operation Blog Catch UpLet me just start by saying I have been a really bad blogger lately!

Of course things change as we get older but for me PINK has been and always be my favorite color!!! The day I met Breezy I knew I loved her. She came to me so prepared with this huge PINK wedding planning book. It's was love at first sight for me lol. Their wedding was a beautiful romantic setting at the Rock of Ages Winery. There was Pink everywhere!!! Trip and all the guys looked great in their Pink show laces also I must say. Breezy's dress reminded me of Bella from Beauty and the Beast and she looked absolutely stunning. Breezy and Trip, you guys were amazing to work with and I can't wait to work with you guys again "soon" <br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=breezy1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/breezy1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=breezy2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/breezy2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=breezy3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/breezy3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661611558447884425noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229520979230065307.post-66367466032842235092010-07-28T08:43:00.000-07:002010-07-28T08:57:00.835-07:00The Barn at Valhalla / Durham NC Wedding PhotographerI am playing a little catch up here so get ready for multiple weddings!!!!<br />This wedding was Bailey and Will at the beautiful Barn at Valhalla in Chapel Hill NC.<br />It's a beautiful country setting. Baiely and Will are both Carolina Tar Heel Fans which me being a Duke fan I don't hold that against them. hehe Actually the Carolina campus is quite beautiful so they wanted to do some of those picture there before we headed over the The Barn at Valhalla. Bailey and Will were both so sweet and I really had a great time with them and their crew. Bailey looked so pretty in her dress and I loved that both her mom and dad walked her down the ilse. <br />Thank you again Baiely and Will for allowing me to be a part of your day.<br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=bay2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/bay2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=bay1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/bay1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=bay3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/bay3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661611558447884425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229520979230065307.post-12982850983132378242010-05-26T21:06:00.001-07:002010-05-27T06:22:28.871-07:00Laura and Kyle's Beautiful Wedding / Durham NC Wedding PhotographerI am so happy to be able to finally post some of my favorites from Laura <br />and Kyle's wedding day along with a few from Laura's bridal session and <br />their "day after session.

HAVE MERCY!! In our Elvis voice of course!!!!<br /><br />That is what I say every time I see these albums in person. They are simply Beautiful. This was my first 50 pages album however. Normally my albums are 40 pages so this baby was heavy. I even started to get out the scale but thought it might be a little crazy! <br /><br />This album is a Fiano Album. I honestly can not say enough good things about this company. All of their albums are individually handcrafted to perfection. The leather is simply exquisite. I love that they also already come with an instruction card to help my clients know how to take care of their album. <br /><br />The album shown here is a 10x10 Fiano ONE 50 page Album in Black Leather with rounded corners. The seam is practically invisible. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!<br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_8108.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/IMG_8108.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The BEAUTIFUL Packaging<br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_8109.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/IMG_8109.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_8110.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/IMG_8110.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_8113.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/IMG_8113.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_8126.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/IMG_8126.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_8127.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/IMG_8127.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_8125.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/IMG_8125.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/?action=view¤t=IMG_8121.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/luv2photograph_photos/IMG_8121.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661611558447884425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229520979230065307.post-70830784222342747532010-05-03T15:51:00.000-07:002010-05-03T16:29:28.384-07:00High School Senior Miss Katie / Durham NC PhotographerI know right, where have I been!!

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!!<br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6036bw.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6036bw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6157bw.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6157bw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_6117.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_6117.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view&current=IMG_5999.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/IMG_5999.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661611558447884425noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229520979230065307.post-91709035556414199712010-01-22T22:35:00.000-08:002010-01-22T22:41:07.943-08:00Testing Testing<br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/01/22/1326.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/01/22/s_1326.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='204' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /> Just download a new app for blogging and thought I would test it out!!

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<br /><br />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!!!<br /><br />Seems a little werid posting a blog with out at least one image so here is one of my favorites of the girls!<br /><br /><a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/?action=view¤t=sns.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/mmurphy11576/sns.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661611558447884425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229520979230065307.post-65032332030578569832009-12-17T11:31:00.000-08:002009-12-17T11:42:43.022-08:00Brittnie / Durham NC PhotographerI am such a bad blogger these days!!!
