Faith & Grace Summer 2009 by Melinda Bunker Photography

Well, the summer heat is ON and I had to take some time out of my busy life to be sure and photograph MY own kids this summer, so I took them to a new fun location yesterday and took a lot of portraits and I just had to share this one of my daughters. It makes me laugh because they truly adore each-other (you can so see it in the image too) and it makes my heart melt with pure happiness.

Hope your all having a wonderful summer!

Textured fun by Melinda Bunker Photography

Been playing with something totally new to me...textures! I have always loved looking at other photographers work using textures but never got a chance to try it out for myself so the other day I bought so really cool textures from Nichole V and played with them last night and WOW...I am hooked! Here is a photo I took of a beautiful expectant mom and her oldest daughter and I love this image not to mention how the texture really gives it a fun urban feel; very natural, very pure! Please leave some blog love and let me know what you think!? Needless to say, you will be seeing more textures from me in the future!

Enjoy,
Melinda

BabyGoRetro commercial shoot by Melinda Bunker Photography

Here are some of the designs that I got my models to help me out with for our friend and fabulous designer Sheila of BabyGoRetro. This is her Summer 09 BGR line...coming soon! And, more outfits coming from me for BGR in the next week too. Here is just a sneak peek for now. Enjoy, Melinda

Giovanni & Isabella ...

Last weekend, I got to take some updated photos of Giovanni and Baby Sister Isabella. Giovanni is the brave, brave boy (and close family friends of ours) that is fighting a tough battle of Leukemia! He is looking GREAT in these photos and doing really good but he still has another couple of years of treatments and it is a rough road ahead for him and his family. Baby Sister is such a sweetie and provides lots of joy to the entire Hartman family...isn't she a sweetie!? And I am personally so proud of Giovanni. He even lost his first tooth last month. At the young age of just five years old, this brave boy is a fighter. Please keep him and his family in your prayers and email me if you want to help this family out in any way. Both parents are out of work right now and things are not easy.

You can email me directly; melindabunker@mac.com

Hope you enjoy the new pictures.

Best,
Melinda

Beautiful Baby Bump...

I got to photograph the most gorgeous pregnant lady last weekend (I love my job!). Laura is beautiful, fun and so photogenic! Can you believe this women is due is just about one week in these photos!? Yes, she sure is and she is absolutely glowing! Look at her- WOW, I wish I looked this stunning a week before my due date! We had so much fun and I can't wait for her baby to arrive and hopefully get to photograph little SKY too! The family is wonderful and with the new addition; they are going to be in pure bliss! Here are just four "sneak peek" shots I got...LOTS MORE COMING SOON!

I am working on getting this maternity session done, a special second part of our close friend Giovanni (the courageous five year old fighting leukemia- that I got to take updated photos of them last weekend too) and also some more fabulous BabyGoRetro summer clothing so I have a lot more coming in the next few weeks! Not to mention, I am putting the finishing touches on my photography website (finally) and getting it ready to go LIVE very soon.

Stay tuned...

Enjoy,
