A Day in the Felt Family's Life (Lehi Family Photographer)
Christina and I became fast friends a couple of years ago after I accidentally flung a piece of BBQ'd meat into her purse.
Last December, as I started tossing around the idea of doing sessions in my client's home, I pictured Christina. I pictured her warmth, her depth, her sweet kids and her colorful house which is jam packed with charm.
I called Christina a couple of weeks ago to talk about our session and was pleased as punch to discover that her vision matched mine perfectly.
"I want you to follow us around and capture what we do every day," she said.
And we did just that.
I told Sam to go pick out his favorite dress up outfit and he picked a BEAUTIFUL pink dress. I told him to pick his 2nd favorite outfit and we ended up with this.
Something tells me this photo would have lost its effect if he was wearing a dress. :)
This is one of my new favorite pictures. We decided to take pictures of Christina with her baby. And this is what we ended up with. Every mother in the world can relate to this!
Thanks Felt Family!
these are so beautiful, Mel! I really need to reserve you the next time you are in town. please??
these pictures are amazing. you captured them perfectly.
So cute. Love it.
Melis, you are truly gifted! I loved these photos so much.
Beautiful. You are SO good at capturing the moment. So good. I love this style. I want it. I mean...I want pictures like it. These are fabulous. You do good work, lady!
You make home life look like it feels - poetic. Reminds me of my favorite magazine: www.seeingtheeveryday.com
You're so rad...I'm checking off another Melissa E Photo blog post as a huge success! :) (oh, and I love the color of your friend's chairs.) :)
Obviously someone wasn't closing their eyes during the prayer...cough...Melissa...cough
Kim, you make me laugh! Though, I was going to say that out of all the fantastic pictures, I think the one of the little girl praying over her waffles is my favorite. You somehow captured the quietness of the moment...and the quiet example of her father... love it!
Kim, not only did I keep my eyes open, I was the one to suggest the prayer in the first place.
I couldn't believe that the kids didn't even peek as I was snapping away. That takes more willpower than I have!
Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
LOVE these! Great family & great photos, Melissa! :)
