She Just Glows

My college roommate and best friend is pregnant with her 2nd child (girl!) and this picture just really shows her happy glow.  This definitely was one of my favorites of that bunch – I love little moments like these.  I’m sure little Boston is ready to have a playmate/sister!

(oh, and look at her hair, isn’t it perfect?? 
Hah, last 2 posts have me talking about hair, maybe I need to start practicing on mine!)

Perfect Little Liv

Well, the Wye Mountain mini sessions were a success!  We had BEAUTIFUL weather, and everyone in Arkansas I think decided to take advantage of it and head on out to the daffodil fields ;).  While it was tough to find a spot secluded, we still got sooo many cute shots of so many little ones.  Thanks to all of you that came out and were part of the Melissa Reibe Photography mini sessions.

I’ll be sharing sneak peeks over the next couple of weeks as I edit through all of these. First up, is perfect little Liv.  She literally was perfect for me!  I just love her, she’s so pretty and SO petite!

Ben’s Sneak Peek | Little Rock Child Photographer

My old coworker’s wife contacted me about a month ago wanting me to do 2 year pictures for her son, Ben.  I knew right away this was a hard age to photograph, but I always have confidence and know I will get a lot of VERY cute pictures, they may just not be as posed as other ages.  Honestly, I love candid/lifestyle photography anyways!  I have found those candid/lifestyle portraits come in handy for ages 1-2.5 year olds…the age they want to run AWAY from me and not look at me hah! 

The session was yesterday, and I’m about to start editing through all of them, but I knew right away when this picture was taken it would be one of my favorites…so I figured I’d share it as a sneak peek for Mom and Dad!  Hope you love it!!

Aaaaackkk, isn’t he adorable?  Gonna be a heartbreaker, I just know it!

Carson’s Valentine Card | Little Rock Child Photographer

I took some “3 year pictures” of Carson a couple of weeks ago, and we decided to throw some valentine portraits in there. She LOVED that sucker, and her mom said they ate on it for about 2-3 days, and then she finally decided to just throw it in the trash hah! Do people ever really eat the whole thing I wonder?
Anyways, I did a little collage of a few of the pictures, she was hamming it up for us!  The backdrop is actually a shower curtain from Target, cute though, huh?

Not sure why this looks off in sharpness…and everything.  Note to self: Learn how to use Lightroom’s collage function better. 
We also tried to come up with a shot that mom could use as her valentine card for school.  I saw this idea in blog/internet land every.where (wish I could take credit!), and mentioned it to mom, and she LOVED it.  Mom took a picture of the final product after she printed and assembled them, and that picture is below.  She’s actually going to put something sturdy on the back so the sucker doesn’t just flop over.  Anyways, how cute is this?!

Conway Family Photographer

Another share from last Fall!  I work with Cynthia, and just love her to pieces…she is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet!  We’ve been chatting a lot lately because we both share the love of sewing…or well, she LOVES it, and I just like it a lot 😀 ha!

Here is Cynthia and her two kiddos…LOVE how they coordinated the outfits, perfecto!

Isn’t her family beautiful!?


I totally think this should be her facebook profile picture, perfect for a tween, huh?!

And this is one of my favorite pictures, I think it truly just shows happiness. She has the best smile!  Gorgeous.

The Swaim Family | Conway Family Photographer

This is my sweet brother’s family…he is so lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful girls. It cracks me up because when I first got my DSLR, these girls were my models (along with my other nieces and rarely, the nephew). Well, Maggie, the youngest, was so little, so had no idea I was even taking her pictures…and I got tons of great pictures of her back then. Baylei, at the time, was so not into the camera..at all. She would have the cutest, funniest faces trying to ‘cheese’ for me.

A couple of years later, Maggie gets all into smiling for the camera, she just puts on a ‘face’ when I whip out the big ole camera. It was almost like Baylei then realized that she better step up, because oh my gosh, Baylei is BEAUTIFUL for the camera now. She will pose and strut, everything! I just love it! They are both so photogenic!

Anyways, on to the pictures! I love, love, love how this session turned out! And since it’s family, I kind of got carried away, and threw in a lot of extras.

Sisterly love, awww!


Ha! I made them kiss, but I love this picture!

“Okay Aunt Missa, now where’s that sucker you promised me?! Ahh, yes, YUM!”

I photographed these siblings back in November and oh my, we had sooo many good pictures from this session! All of them were so photogenic, and I was SO impressed by little 4 year old’s LOVE for the camera! She seriously needs to do some modeling, she just hammed it up for me the whole day!

Brooke’s husband also came along for some couple shots…I’d say they are a gorgeous couple, wouldn’t you?
