{babybliss and the loft mini sessions} - dallas/fort worth photographer - melissa zihlman

I had the most amazing sessions today!  We shot at the loft in Dallas for some classic white on white images - gorgeous!

It is just about time to revamp my current display at babybliss, and some of their favorite customers were gifted with sessions from me, as their little one’s will grace the walls of the next display!  These kiddos are gorgeous and have some serious style!

The rest of the afternoon was spent with some holiday mini-session clients, all repeat client from last year.  I love, love seeing how much they’ve all grown!  They were all beautiful and dressed so well!

Hope you all enjoy your sneak peeks…thank you for today, I had a blast!

Thanks to mom and dad for all the fun outfits, indulging my requests to place your daughter in some wacky places, and for helping carry the chair!  I hope you love these…and I hope she took a great nap for you!

{it’s raining newborns} - dallas/fort worth photographer - melissa zihlman

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!

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…
