This is really hard decision, but I loved it from the moment you blogged #25. It is such an authentic picture that these sisters will treasure for the rest of their lives along with the family.

Natalie January 17, 2010 at 7:21 PM  

I was agonizing over how to narrow it down to just one picture & then I hit 'comments' and everyone's listing multiple choices! LOL

The one I FINALLY chose is #43. So beautiful & peaceful.

I was extremely torn between the Moore girls' tea party & the Pyhalas tire swing pics though too. So many great moments captured, Melinda!

Testimonials

Thank you very much for fitting me into your busy schedule. I really appreciated it...and the pictures were amazing. Daniel, Me, and Little Daniel are definitely coming to see you for our family picture. Thanks! Rachel Merriweather, NC

I loved my experience with Melinda; I brought my daughter and son to her and
plan to bring the entire family to her next month. She was cheerful and had
some really great ideas but also let you be creative and use your ideas as
well. My daughter absolutely loves her pictures and we have gotten many
compliments on how beautiful they are. In that we have also given many
referrals to people who would love to have the same experience we had. I
highly recommend Melinda for any of your portrait needs!!
Tonya Nelson, McCleary
