Dallas Fort Worth Texas Photographer Melissa Zihlman bio picture
  • Welcome to MZP

    I’m Melissa – a wife, mother, fanatical Penn State fan – who is totally in love with flip flops, dark chocolate, and capturing memories.

    I am your photographer – your freezer of time and eyes for what you don’t see…I capture your daughter’s amazing smile and soft steps, your son’s deep blue eyes and unstoppable curiosity, the face of your husband as he watches his newborn baby sleep

    Each family makes their own incredible memories, I’m just lucky enough to get to tell their stories…

{those eyes} – dallas/fort worth baby photographer – melissa zihlman

Little B was back today for his 4 month session.  If it is possible, he’s even cuter than ever!  Those big blue eyes are just to die for, and he was quite proud of himself for holding himself up on his belly!  And his laugh…sweet little belly laugh and squeals of excitement!!  I loved every minute of hanging out with him today!

{remember?} – dallas/fort worth baby photographer – melissa zihlman

I’ve got a handful of boys turning four months old on the baby plan right now, and today I got to meet with the first little guy.  You’ll remember Mister G, he was a perfect little guy for his newborn session, and certainly did not disappoint today!

At 4 months, he is smiley, happy, and seriously cuter than ever!!  I couldn’t believe how much he looks like his mama!  What a fun way to spend the afternoon!!

{while I was traveling} – dallas/fort worth photographer – melissa zihlman

It is always so much fun to travel and meet new up and coming photographers!  They have an amazing spirit about them and a passion to learn – makes the old school teacher in me very happy!:)

I spent the better part of last week traveling through south and east Texas mentoring.  I love that part of my job!  We had some crazy weather – sunny then terrible storms followed by snow!  Needless to say my mentees had a chance to shoot in some pretty crazy weather!  Just wanted to share a few from our models shoots – we had some gorgeous kiddos!  And if you are interested in finding out more about mentoring opportunities, check out the tab at the top of the blog!
