{he’s back} - dallas/fort worth photographer - melissa zihlman

Do you remember this little guy?!?  Mister G is a baby planner…I love baby planners because I love seeing the changes over the months, and this little guy is no exception!  Sweet creamy skin, to-die-for blue eyes, and the cutest little laugh…I could spend days with this kid!

{two years} - dallas/fort worth photographer - melissa zihlman

Meet the cutest two year old boy to pose for me yet…

His love of bubbles, bicycles {motorcycles}, and lawn mowers was enough to make me laugh each time we saw one.  He said bye-bye to everything, and was perhaps the most well mannered little love I’ve ever met.  It was a pleasure leading him around the square this morning…I even got a few smiles out of him!

{fabulous} - dallas/fort worth photographer - melissa zihlman

Today was a {fabulous} day!  I spent two hours photographing a gorgeous mama-to-be and her up-for-anything husband in Fort Worth.  We started at the Botanical Gardens, then headed downtown for a little urban action, and then I went to their home for some lifestyle shots.  I had a hard time picking images for the sneak peek…these were the first three I opened…

You can bet there will be a few more posted here tomorrow…

had a little fun with the processing here…thought it called for some grunge…

{wichita wedding} - dallas/fort worth photographer - melissa zihlman

I had the opportunity to travel to Wichita this past weekend to shoot a wedding with a talented young photographer.  It was an intimate gathering of family and friends on Eberly Farm, a gorgeous setting for the outdoor ceremony.

The bride and groom had a great time…the details were perfect…and the ring bearers and flower girl were delicious!  Here’s a little sneak peek of the action…more to come!

{light} - dallas/fort worth photographer - melissa zihlman

I promised some more from yesterday’s minis, and when I opened this picture tonight, I just knew I had to share it…

…sweet Miss A found her tongue mid shoot - it was the cutest thing I have ever seen!  She would roll it around, stick it out, and then smile so big at Daddy - perfection!  I adore the eye contact I got here, and the amazing light stream down around her…

Meet Mister B and his little brother Mister R!  At seventeen months apart, these two sure give their mom a workout, but gosh they are super cute aren’t they!  They were troopers - coming all the way to Dallas for the first time slot this morning!

 

And checkout this darling 10-week old, Miss A.  She has the best blue eyes!  10-weeks can be a hard age to photograph, but Miss A’s personality was fabulous…I got the best grins!! And she found her tongue…I’ll post one of those adorable shots in a bit!
