Workshop {Part 1} & Casting Call! Franklin TN Newborn Photographer.
Two weeks ago today, I spent an amazing day at a workshop with Amber of Little Moon Photography, and with 5 other photographers from across the country. I learned so much and with a lot of help from Amber, was able to capture these images below of just one of the three little beauties in Amber’s natural light studio that day. Be on the look out for the other two baby girls to appear on my blog over the next week! **Be sure not to miss some exciting news at the end of the post, after these gorgeous images!**
If you know me in real life, you know I have really been torn about the newborn aspect of my business and had been seriously considering no longer photographing newborns. Well, I am excited to say that I am completely rejuvinated about newborns and am even more excited to announce my July Casting Call!
If you, or someone you know, is expecting a baby in July, I hope you will let me know as I am offering 4 complimentary newborn sessions that month! Included is a complimentary 2 hour newborn session AND 25 birth announcements…all at no charge! I will only take on four sessions, so email me at melissa@melissadudekphotography.com asap and get your due date on my calendar! So there has to be a catch, right? Nope! You just have to be willing to allow me to try out a few headbands, a few wraps, a few blankets, and give me the chance to practice, practice, practice, so that I can take all of this information I have swimming around in my head and put it to good use! Email me at melissa@melissadudekphotography.com for more information!
Grandpa’s Boy! Apex NC, Nashville TN Family Photographer.
Meet handsome little J.
I wish I could claim responsibility for his adobrable giggle and smiles, but I have to give credit where credit is due…and it’s to his grandpa! This little guy would light up when he saw, or when we said, “Papa!”
See? Definitely found Grandpa during this snap

I had such a wonderful time with this beautiful growing family last month! When they contacted me about a session, I was super excited because I hadn’t seen J’s mom or grandparents in years! I have known them for a really really long time having first met J’s aunt (did you follow that??) in Drama II class in high school, a really really long time ago. So when we set up the session, I was excited to hear that J’s grandparents would be coming and when they all got out of the car and J’s grandma starting chatting with me, it was seriously like I was 16 again, talking in their kitchen. Oh to be 16 again
!
How beautiful is J’s mommy? This might be one of my most favorite photos I have ever taken.
Thank you for spending a rainy evening with me–It was so nice to see all of you and I hope that you love your images as much as I do!
