In love with a high key light setting. You'll see a lot more of this from me this year. I'm not sure if its because my little one's nickname will be Sunshine and she's inspiring me with all her little kicks but this lighting is calling me. I catch myself outside in the yard under our avocado tree just smiling and letting the sun shine on my bare belly in the mornings. This little one is already so active 😍 Comment below what inspires you 👇 #33weekspregnant #mylittlesunshine #lovestoriesbymelanieanne #destinationweddingphotographer #traveler #fortlauderdalephotographer #cityengagementsession 
As I'm settling into my new home and making a list of my hospital bag items. I can't help but to reflect on how important it is to be confident in one's self. Even when we think we are being confident and brave, what we really feel will always shine through. That's a big part of what I love about photography. That curation of one split second of someone's being was captured and sealed. It would be a fleeting moment in real time but an heirloom part of your legacy. Hold your head high and your heart towards the future because 2021 is going to be the ride of your life. I can feel it. Be confident, be brave, be present and stay safe. Cheers! • • • #cheers #lovestoriesbymelanieanne #destinationweddingphotographer #traveler #momtobe #bebrave #confidence #newyear #2021goals 
In my previous post I talked about staying ready so you are always prepared for that next step. Let's talk about presentation. Whether it be presenting your self to the world, in your work place, to your family or to your partner on your wedding day. It doesn't truly matter how many things you have on, add on, press, prime, groom or cover up on the outside. Its the energy you put out from the inside. I recently had some Maternity photos captured of my self and it took me 2 hours to look like me but better and all I wore was a cloth and my bareskin. I took one "selfie" and let my wonderful photographer capture everything else. There's a sense of love I felt waking up that day. There was set good intentions to capture this milestone in my life. I spoke to my unborn daughter in my belly and shared my excitement that this was our first professional pictures together and I look forward to many many more. I presented myself to the day with gratitude and planted my feet to the ground being present in my intentions. Be intentional and present your inner self to the world before wrapping yourself with anything other then positive vibes. #lovestoriesbymelanieanne #destinationwedding #destinationweddingphotographer #traveler #intentions #weddingdaymakeup #bridalmakeup #miamiweddingphotographer #keylargoresort #gettingready #floridaweddingsphotography #miamiweddings
