I usually never think about Christmas this early in the year, but when I saw this coffee mug I knew immediatly I needed to put it on my list. Of course I don’t actually drink coffee, but it would be SO cute to drink my diet coke or hot chocolate from. You can get it here for $23.00. I’ve never ordered anything from there before, but I also see that it is available through ebay.
This is a little “part 2″ of lisa’s session because she brought this SUPER CUTE hat and I just had to post!
The Queen Anne’s Lace is out - LOVE it (even though “technically” I think it’s a weed & not a flower).
So I’ve decided there’s a little more pressure when I’m doing a session for a friend because I REALLY want the images to be special for them. But it’s also probably harder for them because I “drag them around” more, ha! Anyway, meet beautiful Lisa – soon to be mama of 3! These two images below are my fav. because this was right after she said something to me like, “I’m really not good in front of the camera” (or something like that). Hmmmmm, she’s gorgeous!
I’m so easy to please for mother’s day – ALL I want is for the kiddos to cooperate for me to take their photographs. That’s it, plain & simple. My son is finally to the age where he will listen, have fun and generally I always walk away with shots I adore. My daughter, well . . .she’s 2, enough said, right? Bribes don’t work, but persistence SOMETIMES pay off. Any honestly I think her pout is cute! Here’s what we ended up with this year!
Melanie,
Your children are gorgeous! I love your photography! How do you catch so much bokeh? Even with a small depth of field I don’t seem to catch it as much as I’d like. I hope you have a fantastic birthday!
Blessings,
Angela
. . . finally I see green! It’s been a LONG winter!
This is WAY more photographs than I normally put up for a preview, but I just can’t seem to decide. You’ll see why when you take a peek here at Morgan. She just has amazing presence in front of the camera. Gorgeous girl – AND she’s got talent! She’s a student at the amazing Lisa Christine Studios and I hear she has a great voice! Thank you for choosing me to work on your portfolio. I can’t wait to see what opportunities come your way in the future.
Who says it’s too cold to have a session? . . . . I just have to work fast! I am now booking for spring sessions. You can inquire/contact me through my website – www.melanieacker.com

Can you believe how beautiful this little girl is?? She has a smile that lights up a room and not to mention the cutest lips ever. Really! We kept saying she looked like she was wearing lip gloss -ha! Thanks you guys for inviting me into your home and giving me the opportunity to capture sweet miss “a.”
So, this was a first for me . . .trying to coordinate a session with kiddos who live so far (Chicago). It seemed like it took us 6 months to figure it all out, but man was it worth it. Hope you think so too, Jamie. I’m flippin’ out over this first image – she’s just stunning!!
I know her mom can hardly believe it but she was such a little ham in front of the camera. What a cutie, huh?!
Congrats on 40 years of marriage! I almost felt like I was doing an engagement session instead of an anniversary session because they are so much in love – what an inspiration. You two are the sweetest couple – thank you for driving all the way from Illinois to see me!
Abby – you are STUNNING!!! I adore this shot of the two of you! I had a fun afternoon with you all and thank you Brian for graciously putting up with me calling you the wrong name all day . . .I still feel bad about that!
. . .had to post this first one in bw & color because I just couldn’t choose – I love this shot BOTH ways!!
