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!

Quick Post

Hello Stephanie-

Leave me your email. Nice to hear from you, glad to know you are reading my blog :)
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.

I have been checking my stats here on my blog. I have someone from Camp Hill, Pennsylvania that checks my blog frequently. If you are reading this, post a comment I would love to know who you are.

Here is a quick picture of me and my best friend Stacy. She has been through just about everything with me. I love her very much!!!!

Artsy shots

What a fun town. Lots of photo opportunities. Maybe next time I will go with my hubby.

Ruby and I had a great time today. It is so much fun to hang out with her because she "gets me". Here are a few shots that she took of me. She really can make me look good. Thanks Ruby.
















There was still a little bit of snow on the ground, which made for some fun pics








































I also got some fun artsy shots of the town. See the post above.

He's 14 weeks today. I can't believe how fast he is growing. He is just adorable, looks more like his daddy everyday. He can hold his head up while I am holding him. He laughs and smiles so much. I have yet to get a smiling picture of him, he is just so fast. He is very content and wonderful all around. I Love this boy!

Here are the boys. After discovering that Aiden and Hunter had the same hat, I HAD to take a picture of the both of them. They are exactly one month a part. Can you say CUTENESS?!!!
















I like to think the dialog to this picture would be, "Do you know what is going on?"

Cute kids, cute family. Isn't this the cutest family ever?!!
I had so much fun with Jessica and her family today. Aren't her boys Tyler and Trevor so handsome? They are going to be heartbreakers. Watch out mom! Of course, who could forget the cute Hunter! I got some great pictures of Aiden and Hunter together. I will post them next.
Had fun today Jess. I hope you like your pictures!!!

I bought this sweater almost a year ago. The day I found out I was pregnant I went to Target to try to find some neat way to tell my husband. I found this sweater and a few other things. It's crazy to think that a year later we have a beautiful son wearing the sweater I bought for him. Of course he didn't really want to cooperate with me in taking this picture, but it works.

I love when people post their comments. A lot of times I don't know how many people are actually viewing my blog, until I talk to them on the phone and they say they have seen my newest post.
I love when people post their comments. It helps me know who is reading my blog and keeps me connected to people
So, if you have a chance post a comment. It could be really small, but at least I know you've been here.
Thanks!!!

What fun we had today. This is Tanya, pregnant with her first baby Isabella. Tanya and I go way back. I worked with her at Outback in San Diego, and now she lives here in Phoenix. There are lots of great images, but here is a sneek peek for you T!!! I had a blast with you.

Here are a few newer pictures of Aiden. He is growing up so fast.
It is still hard to believe sometimes that he is ours. He is just a perfect little person. He also started sleeping through the night at about 9 weeks. We are so blessed!

I am now shooting both Phoenix and San Diego county. Because we are still residing in Phoenix I have to plan my trips to San Diego in advance. If you know of someone that would like their pictures done, please have them contact me to schedule an appointment. I love referrals so tell them to say you referred them. If they book with me I will send you something special.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Contact me for special Valentine's Day packages. Surprise your loved one with a boudoir session. If you would like more details regarding boudoir sessions email me at meli@melissakoehlerphotography.com. They are a lot of fun.

Pictures.....

I was going through some of my picture files and came across this picture of me and my good friend Brianna. This was taken at our friend Danielle's wedding. I am so blessed with some wonderful friends.
How extremely lucky I am to have the people that I do in my life.

Business is getting busier. I couldn't be happier. I am limited to the amount of appointments I can take per month, so schedule with me as soon as you can.

Happy New Year!
I Hope that everyone had a safe and Happy New Year. I have told myself that this year I will be updating my blog more, among other things. I am excited about what this year will bring. Last year I had the opportunity to photograph some great people. I would like to post some pictures of my friend/co worker with her husband and new baby. Her little boy and my son are only a few weeks a part. It has been so fun to go through pregnancy and newborn things with her. I am truly blessed to know her and look forward to things to come.
Isn't her little one so adorable?

Starting in 2007 I will be doing weddings. I am really looking forward to shooting weddings. If you are interested please contact me for my pricing and availability.
I promise to keep my blog up to date in 2007.
SO, Happy New Year! May this New Year bring you joy and happiness.
