Meet Miss Layla also lovingly known as Ladybug.

I met Layla’s parents at a recent wedding I photographed and I fell in love with their entire family especially sweet Layla. Her smile melts my heart! As many of you know, I recently decided my business needed to specialize more in one thing in my business and that was WEDDINGS… however, just because I now specialize in Weddings I still LOVE being inspired and photographing babies, children and families as well as events! Over the last two to three years I have started to focus on Weddings more and more so this year I launched a brand new website that is ALL Weddings. I LOVE Weddings, however, this does NOT mean I don’t love and still photograph babies, families and children and I do them on a more limited number but am thrilled to do them. I still give the same care, attention and love to other specialities in the photography field but I am now 80% Weddings. Thankfully, after posting Layla’s Baby session yesterday a close photographer friend called to tell me; “Melinda, you have not lost your touch with babies!”…Phew, SO glad to know that I can still do it all and love it all and I so do!! Now, back to LAYLA…this little baby girl seriously makes me melt. I adore her and her family. You will be seeing a lot of her in the coming year as she is on a baby plan collection (ask me if your interested) and so I get to photograph her many times in the coming year {Happy Dance for ME!}…so watch her grow on my blog and I will give her hugs and kisses for each and every one of you watching…hehe- Lucky me! icon wink Lovely Little Layla  {Baby Session}  Danville, California

I have been lucky enough to photograph Ava & Alden for several years now and every time is gets more fun! I love watching my clients grow up and these little beauties sure have blossomed since I last photographed them last Summer. Kristen (their mom) and I always have such a great time choosing outfits and locations for the shoot. Downtown Danville was perfect for this urban session we did and the retro custom dresses we found fit perfectly with the theme, throw in some fun balloons and lots of color and pop…out came an awesome session! It’s a nice break for me to do a fun family session as wedding season is in full swing for me this year. Hope you enjoy this little sneak peak…

Hello, Hello!

First of all, as you might have noticed, my BLOG has been seriously neglected! In my defense, it has been a crazy last few months! My family and I moved to a new home and as you all know…moving is a huge process! I can’t even begin to list ALL of the things I have been doing but I will just say I am sorry for not posting and now that I am settled and my family is settled and life is back to normal and business is back up, I will be blogging again…I promise! That said, I will preface with saying that things are also changing a little with Melinda Bunker photography. The last few months have given me time to reflect on my business and my life and that time of reflection has shifted my gears to make some changes in my business so watch my blog for some exciting changes that I think you will like…and I hope you will LOVE!

Now, to this fun post…

I am excited to announce that I am the chosen photographer for the American Girl Doll Fashion Show here in The Bay Area/Northern California. It is hosted by Golden View School in San Ramon, California. In two weeks over 100 girls will model the American Girl Fashions at Blackhawk Museum here in Danville, California. It is so cool watching the girls and their excitement as they rehearse for this big show! Even my daughters are going to walk the runway! Tickets are still on sale for the show and you can buy them now! American Girl Fashion Show a great event for any little girl!
Hope to see you there and watch for my blog post of all the girls strutting their stuff at the Fashion show in a few weeks! icon wink American Girl Fashion Show {commercial work}
