February 1 and it feels like spring. I can get used to this.

Heather & Joe & Addison

Surely you remember Heather & Joe, whose maternity shoot was only two months ago. The happy family welcomed baby Addison to their lives just a bit earlier than planned, but she is here, happy, healthy, and beautiful! At three weeks old, she was such a trooper for all we put her through yesterday.

Carolyn & Josh: Skippack Engagement Photographer

I went out with Carolyn & Josh on an unseasonably warm January day for their engagement session. Like me, they have a deep love for the town they were raised in (which, as it happens, is the same as mine!) and intend to put down deep roots — a couple after my own heart. These two have such chemistry between them that my job was practically done for me.

Heather & Joe: Maternity

Heather & Joe had a baby! But first we had a maternity shoot. Addisen Grace arrived on Monday, and I’m looking forward to her newborn shoot!

Handsome Cooper made his way in to most of my shots, as you can see, so I gave him one of his own. A boxer after my own heart.

Erin & Tom: Philadelphia 30th Street Station Engagement Photos

Erin and I go way back to middle school where we played field hockey together. I could not have been more flattered when she asked me to shoot her wedding (after her awesome fiance Tom FLEW TO ITALY to propose to her)! Not only is it a privilege to shoot for Erin & Tom, but I get to go to MAINE to do it! We ran around in the craziness that is Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station two days before Christmas to get some fun engagement shots. Congrats to my friends, can’t wait for the big day!

Mike & Tracy: William Penn Inn Wedding Photographer

Mike & Tracy tied the knot this past December at the William Penn Inn, a perennial favorite. Congrats to Mike & Tracy!

January

Happy new year everyone! 2011 was an unbelievable growth year for Melissa Kelly Photography. I never dreamed my work would explode like it has and I could not be more thankful for that. I love the kind of photographer that weddings and portraits let me be. I have a laundry list of people to thank for my successes this year, from my lovely assistants to friends in the biz both new and old, my family & friends who believe in what I do, and of course the 14 brides and 14 grooms who were kind enough to share their wedding days with me (as well as the families, kids, and models I had the pleasure of working with!).

Here’s to more of the same in 2012, and that all you special people have a happy, healthy, and inspiring year. Enjoy your (a little bit belated!) desktop calendar.

Jay & Rena: Valley Green Inn Wedding Photographer

Oh lordy, did Jay & Rena get a surprise on their wedding day! What was intended to be a lovely outside ceremony at the Valley Green Inn surrounded by bright fall foliage turned in to a beautiful winter scene that was both brightly colored and blanketed in white at the same time. What a juxtaposition! Fortunately everyone made it to and from the wedding safely, and the tent had heaters!
