So . . . I’m excited because this year I will be rolling out a new photography website for MELANIE ACKER photography!  Why, you ask?  I realize the one I have “works” fine, but it’s REALLY bothered me that you cannot view it on your IPHONE!  I use my phone more now a days than my actual computer and I know many of you do to.  And so I am working hard to complete the site and I will announce when it is finished – I’m hoping in the next month.  And in case you are wondering it will be at the same web address:  www.melanieackerphotography.com 

I know you must be sick of looking at my children . . . but images of my little kids are better than a blog post with no photos, right?   These I took at the end of Fall but never blogged – so here ya go!

While I have never been a huge fan of winter I do believe in trying to make the best of things.  And since NORMALLY we don’t see snow come & stay that long in St. Louis I bundle up and take the kids out to play whenever it snows here.  I usually don’t photograph when we play because I don’t want to spoil our fun and well, it’s wet! This is a snowman I made with my son and mom.  We had the best time and we actually got it so big that mom & I could hardly lift the last snowball.  I HAD to capture a few quick photographs of our finished product and the cute little boy who helped!

And then, speaking of snowmen, . . .  . I made these donut snowmen for breakfast on Christmas morning and they were a big hit at our house.  I got the idea here, from Taste of Home.  If you have kids, I guarantee they’ll love them!

One of the reasons I love being a photographer in St. Louis is because you can get a 65 degree day on the last day of December! Jackie & I moved her maternity session date up at the last minute so she didn’t freeze outside . . . we did however have all the other elements – tornado, rain, sun, clouds, LOTS of mud, but I assure you we weren’t cold!  Thanks for a fun day, Jackie and for being so flexible.  Here’s a little preview for you and I can’t wait to meet & photograph your sweet newborn girl!
