Honeybee Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Thank you for coming by. I am a wife to the most amazing man in the world, a mother to 2 of the most handsome little boys ever that have consumed my whole heart and a photographer in the best little town called Lagrange. My journey into photography happened by chance after the birth of my first son. I would find myself taking his picture everyday because I was just so in love with him that I wanted to capture every little thing he was doing. Then after the birth of my second son and many hours, months and years later of learning the "How to's" of photography, 'Honeybee Photography by Melissa Cotton' was born. Here on this blog you will find sneak peaks of my favorite shots from current photo sessions I have done. Feel free to let me know what you think. I love reading all of your sweet comments, they make my day. 

I would be honored if you choose me as your photographer because what better way to remember your childs silly laugh, your newborns first days or how you felt when you first got engaged than thru a photograph. It is my goal to not only capture these memories for you but to give you memories that you can look back on for years to come. 

"While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about."

                                

{8 Month Old Brody…}

I can’t get over how fast time goes by till I see one of these precious babies! The other day I met up with Brody and his Mommy for his 8 month old session outside. It was a cold, windy day but he didn’t seem to mind that much. It’s amazing at how I can remember like it was yesterday taking this little fella’s newborn pictures. Even though he’s gotten older he hasn’t changed a bit to me :) Here are a few favorites from the other day, Enjoy!

{Announcement…}

Oh….I’m not even sure where to begin other then to say to all of my clients and friends, THANK-YOU so much for everything and for making 2009 a GREAT year for me! Well it’s with a heavy and happy heart that I tell you all that I have accepted my old job with Ropak back. Truth is, I never thought that I would be so happy to have to start getting back up at 5:30 in the morning M-F but I am. This is such a great opportunity for my family and I hope you all understand my reasoning for not being able to turn it down. I will miss all of you very much and I’m so thankful for the great friendships that I have made along the way. Please stay in touch and for all of you baby planners out there, don’t worry, I’ve been in touch with you already about how your sessions are going to work so that we can finish out your little ones first year. I send my thanks to everyone out there for everything :)

For future inquiries, I have a handful of local photographers that are more then willing to make an appointment with you so please let me know if you are interested and I’ll pass along their information!

God Bless,
Melissa
