Shelly Glamour | Mikaela Joy: El Paso Portrait Photographer

Morning light, mountains, and beautiful dresses.  These are some of my favorite things and they all came together for Shelly's glamour session.  We had so much fun for this one.  Shelly showed up with a trunk full of gorgeous dresses and shoes and was excited to shoot.  We ended up laughing for most of the session and had a really great time! 

Check out the photos below!

Ah El Paso.  When it rains here it REALLY rains.  I somehow missed monsoon season when I lived here years ago (something about the driest couple years here in a really long time), so when I first heard the little pitter patter of raindrops on my roof, I was confused...

Reina's Family Photos | Mikaela Joy: Savannah Lifestyle Photographer

This was another one of those sessions that consisted of just about everything I love.  Reina is a friend of mine and I photographed her little guy (who is not little anymore) as a newborn. She is a breastfeeding, babywearing, super-mom with a big family to care for and I was thrilled when she asked for updated photos of her youngest, as well as some family portraits.  

This session was great- I got to use the perfect location (which happens to be their backyard-jealous), a gorgeous high-end baby wrap, and to work with this beautiful, amazing family.  We had a great time, and I'm excited to do it again when they are ready for another update.  It's so much fun watching these kids grow up!

Can I just say that I love working with the Cady family?  Danielle is one of those people that is up for just about anything, and it makes working with her a breeze.  From the initial planning stages of this session, all the way through, she let me take creative control and just let the session happen.  Because of this, it was very easy to capture the uniqueness of her family and really showcase their personalities.

And boy do they have a lot of personality :)

Jenny's Maternity Session | Mikaela Joy: Savannah Family Photographer

I've been really wanting to take some maternity photos lately, so I was very excited to meet up with Jenny and her husband to do just that.  This was a fun one for me, with her due date just one day after Riley's birthday.  She was round, beautiful, and proud, and seeing her really brought back all those memories for me...
