Felt like derailing all my healthy eating the last 2 weeks, sooo.... these were totally worth it, though - Brown Butter Pecan Cookies! (Recipe from @bakerbynature ) #sweetmelissashoots #foodtographyschool #winterbaking #foodflatlay 
Unintentionally posting two animal photos in the same week 🤷🏻♀️ My favorite movie of all time is Pride + Prejudice and this reminded me of the scene where Elizabeth Bennett closes her eyes and envisions herself on a hill, the cleansing breeze and sunshine at her face. Carefree and wild. Drop your favorite movie down below - need some suggestions to get me through the weekend! (P.S. this print available in my print shop - it’s a stunner in a large format 😍) #melissabarrickphotography 
Dreaming of those warm, sunny evenings where things feel just right. Meanwhile in Maryland, I’m wearing a parka and Ugg’s to stay warm in my home office 🥶 Are you a warm weather person like me, or do you prefer the cold and bundling up? #melissabarrickphotography #loveletterfamilies 
I like my cats how I like my home decor: monochrome ❤️ Here’s Cow, our 8 month old kitten who hates to be held, but will carry on a whole conversation in mews. He sure looks great in that clean, morning light. #sweetmelissashoots #catsofinstagram #catperson 
Switching gears for today and getting a little personal. I promise I won’t turn into one of those people who constantly posts workout photos of themselves 😜 For the last two months, I’ve been taking classes at our new @rowhousesomd Today I looked in the mirror after class and saw some small changes in my arms and got really excited! I signed up for a January challenge to take 15 classes this month. I’m telling you here to keep myself from quitting (I can’t stick with much of anything for more than 2 weeks!). I bought the shirt to keep me motivated 💪🏻 Are you an exercise class kinda person, or do you like to do it on your own? (And check out the #rowhouse if you haven’t already - super clean, fun and a great workout!) #sweetmelissalifestyle
