The Beautiful Life Story…
Welcome to A Beautiful Life!
Hi! My name is Melanie
I am a newborn photography specialist located in Little Rock, Arkansas. I have been a photographer for over 15 years and found my calling in working with newborn babies and their amazing parents in our studio in Hillcrest, Little Rock. I have invested in extensive training in newborn photography and safety while posing your baby. It has been my honor to photograph over 800 babies in my 15 year career. My life's passion is to tell your beautiful life stories through pictures.
Most days you can find me working from home with my laptop on client galleries, in the studio with a precious newborn in front of my camera, or adventuring with my love. The thing I love most about photography is the ability to capture life's most beautiful moments to remember for a lifetime.
Where it all began...
Almost twenty years ago, I was a stay at home mom who loved taking pictures of my kids (seriously, they are so photogenic, it is ridiculous). Over the years, I had a few people (mostly family and friends) asking me to take pictures for their kids and thought maybe I could do this photography thing as a fun hobby.
The power of "what if?"
What if I could actually do what I loved on a daily basis, you know, like a real job? I love taking photos, writing, creating, and reveling in the everyday beauty of life and that's how A Beautiful Life was born.
I started off like most people thinking that with a dream and a prayer anything is possible. And while I still somewhat naively believe that, I also know that it takes a lot of hard work, dedication and a few wrong turns to figure out what you're doing and why you're doing it.
Living the Dream!
15 plus years later, I'm still happily doing what I set out to do: capturing beautiful life moments for our family and yours. My belief is that life is a journey to grow and change and learn. Hopefully, somewhere along the way sharing this belief will help other people realize how easy it is to recognize the beauty in every single day.
