Melanie & Yuna in a Bavarian Forest | Mommy & Me Session

Where do I even begin with this glorious photo sesh? Not only was it my very last photo session in Germany (SO sad!!!) but it was with one of my great friends and fellow photographer, Melanie, and her 8 month old daughter, Yuna.

This was originally meant to be a newborn session, but Covid had other plans. So it was postponed…and postponed…and voila, it actually turned out to be an epic shoot anyway! Gorgeous summer sunshine, baby laughs, and a surprise deer encounter! (Scroll to the end to see that part.) Such a magical day!!

BONUS: If you are located in Germany, check out Melanie’s photography website here. She does incredible work and I am just constantly in awe of her photos. (Plus she’s a local who really knows the area! In a sea of other American photographers, she’s a real local gem!)
