We got this adorable hat for Aiden today. I call him my monkey so it was so perfect. We also had a little photo shoot. Go to his blog here to see the pictures.

Just updated my website in the Maternity/Babies section, 2 in the adults section and a few in the kids section. Glad to finally get some fresh faces up on my site.

I took some pictures of Aiden today. I posted them on his blog here.
You can see that he didn't like it after a while, but I am glad that I got a few good ones.

I Need Help!!!!

I need your help!
If you could go look at my website and tell me what you like or don't like about it. Any images to change or more of ones you would like to see. I need some MAJOR constuctive criticism!!! I want my photography to be amazing and inspiring so help me get that way. Leave me a comment, or if you would rather email me feel free at meli@melissakoehlerphotography.com
I really mean it, give it to me straight. I'm not going to get better unless you tell me. SO have at it :)
Thanks!!!

Party of 5, baby!!!

Not the show, but the class. I signed up for a class with with one of Orange County's premier wedding photographers, [b]ecker. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to do this. I am hoping this will be the kick in the pants that I need to get my wedding business going. Can't wait until April. For the wedding photographers out there, what is your favorite lens to shoot with?
SO stinking excited I can't stand it!!!

I just wanted to send a huge shout out to Bobbi. I found her when I was surfing other photgraphers blogs. Bobbi and I have emailed and Instant Messaged back and forth. She has got to be one of the cutest girls ever and so darn sweet. She is also an amazing photographer and has been somewhat of a "mentor" to me in a way. She took the time to answer all of my annoying questions and did it without the blink of an eye. She has never met me but took the time out of her busy schedule(and I do mean busy) to help me. So, Bobbi you are amazing!!! Thank you for being such a sweet person. I only hope that someday I can return the favor. You Rock girlie!!!

Check out her blog www.bybobbi.blogspot.com She's awesome!

Making some small changes to my website. Since I am gearing myself towards weddings I had to update the website with some wedding images that I have. It will continually be a work in progress, but it works for now.

In other news.... Aiden has his own blog. I decided to dedicate a blog to him. I am hoping that I will be able to update it at least 3 times a week for family and friends to read about what is going on with him. The new site address is www.aidenkoehler.blogspot.com or you can link to it from my profile here.

16 weeks today

He is another week older today. I still look at him in wonder. He is my perfect little boy.

Favorite Image

This is my favorite image yet. I love the brightness of the reds. Ruby looks like a supermodel.

A few more fun shots

I had so much fun today with Leah and Ruby!
We went to Old Tucson where some older westerns were filmed. It really was a neat place. Thanks for so much fun today girlies!!

I just can't believe how fast he is growing!

Time sure does fly by! I can only imagine the day that he will be up and walking. It will be here before you know it.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Hello Stephanie-

Take care and stay warm in Penn!!!

These are my friends from San Diego. (well not all of them, but you get the point). We all were pregnant at the same time (except Heidi on the far right, she delivers babies for a living).

From left to right, Maressa, Amber, me, Roxeanne, Tira, Heidi.

Maressa just had her baby on January 17th. His name is Graham Preston. Tira is due February 17th and Amber and Rox are not far behind. I miss these girls and can't wait to move back to San Diego! Only a few more months. Aiden is going to have some amazing playmates.

Love you guys!! Can't wait to see you again!

Isn't Aiden adorable?
Enough said.....

Getting so many nice emails about my pictures. I just wanted to say Thank you!

February is going to be a busy month for me. I am very excited. I have one spot open for February and then I start booking for March. Call or email me if you would like to book.
