Meet Winnie Mae

Last December I got to meet little Winnie Mae for the first time. She was less than a week old and Chelle (my lovely and talented associate) had asked me to take her portraits. At the time I was pretty busy and never blogged the entire shoot. I have included one special picture which I suggest for all of you who are going to be taking multiple portraits. Find one piece of furniture, or place in your house that will remain the same for all the shoots, and photograph your baby there each time. It's a great way to see just how fast they grow! Here she is on the awesome white couch with blue fringe at less than a week old and you will find the same couch and a much bigger 8 month old Winnie at the bottom of this post.

Family Portraits... Finally!

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting my friend Jeff Brouillet who asked me to photograph his two beautiful nieces Rachel & Samantha. Although I have been a professional wedding photographer for many years, my attempts at portraiture have been somewhat futile. Last year when I attempted to drum up some portrait clients, Jeff was the only one sweet enough to sign up. He had wanted a session with his girlfriend in the beautiful fluffy snow but our schedules never coincided with any of the winter storms and their shoot got put on hold. So when his sister Nicole and her husband Brian came up for a visit from Texas it seemed like the perfect time to test my family portrait taking ability! You really can't go wrong with such beautiful subjects:)

Shoot Location: Endicott Park

Portraits!!!

Melissa Coe Photography is expanding to portraits! Up until now I have been shooting mainly weddings but due to a high level of requests, will now be expanding to individual, family and children's portraits. A limited time special will be running for the remainder of August so grab your kids and schedule your sitting today!

Alex is 2!

Last week my son Alex celebrated his second birthday! He actually ended up having three birthdays and is still waiting on one more. If your wondering about this, there was a party at grandma's, a party at home and a party at daycare. The photos below were taken at my mother's house in Amherst the day before his actual birthday which is February 23rd. Alex was pretty sick while we were at grandmas so we're still waiting to go to grandpa's house for more presents and cake!

Here's my little cupcake eating (sort of) his birthday cupcake.


Playing with a birthday puzzle. If you didn't know, Alex is a puzzle prodigy!


The frosting is way more interesting.


and yummy!!!



We must investigate!
