I love the summer…it has been newborn central, with several more scheduled for August and September!! I love, love fresh souls, they are my favorite to photograph!

Meet Mister J…6 pounds of adorable boy. He made his entrance nearly two weeks early, and at a week old, he was totally interested in everything going on in his house today, which meant he didn’t sleep a wink! It is a good thing though, because he has some amazing eyes!! Thanks to mom, dad, & grandma for sharing him with me today…it was amazing!

Meet Miss R…8 pounds of pure perfection! After making mom and dad wait thirteen days past her due date to finally meet her, she made her entrance fast! I shot mom’s maternity session six weeks ago (http://melissazihlman.com/Blog/2008/06/09/perfect-belly/)…and mom and baby look so much alike!

Here’s a quick sneak peek for mom, dad, and the whole family! More to come…

“The Eyes are the Window to the Soul”

I am looking for a killer set of eyes…you know the ones, they draw you in and you can’t help but stare at them…

Please send a recent snapshot (within the last two months) via email (mz@melissazihlman.com) by August 1st. The top five entries, as judged by an outside impartial panel, will be listed here August 5th. Voting will take place for one week – and the winner will receive (are you ready for this?!?!):

*a complimentary session
