PARIS
So I found out about a month ago that I was going to be shooting Paris Hilton, I was pretty excited. I'm not really a "fan" of hers, but she is probably one of the most photographed women in the world, so it was neat to see what all the hub-bub was about!
Again I had zero control over lighting, position, or the hundreds of other flash bulbs going off so it's not like these are creative shots or anything. 
I must say in person she is very, very pretty. If you haven't checked out "HOME" nightclub yet make your way out there one night, it's pretty cool. Or at least check out their website and go to the photos section to see more, the inside of the club is amazing.

2 very special babies
Proud mama gets her first glance...
Daddy holds him for the first time...
And here is where it gets sweet... See this Big Brother, I shot HIS birth nearly 2 years ago!
My job is incredible. 2 years ago these people are strangers are the street to me and now I've seen both their children born. My clients aren't just "clients" to me, they become friends. I have a couple re-peat Birth clients this year and I am excited to see thier families grow.
This little feet shot was my favorite, I loved it so much I blew up a 11x14 for them.
Thank you Mary, Chris, Jack and Isaac!
Baby #1 is Baby Isaac! He was born a couple weeks ago and I was there to shoot his birth...

Congratulations on your beautiful new family :)
Something has been wrong with my internet ALL week! So this post is way over due! But congrats to Abby and Pat~! They were married on the COLDEST day of the year, actually the coldest day I have ever shot in my whole life! But they were such troopers!
Her parents (pictured below) were pretty cool for a number of reasons....
#1. They hired my husbands band who kept the dance floor packed all night
#2. The surprised the bride and groom by hiring Fredbird to come hang out (The bride and groom met at a Cardinal games)
And 3. They have 3 more daughters to marry off so I better be really nice to them :)
Just kidding! Thanks guys! All the pics will be done very soon!!! Also a big thank you to Kelly Park for freezing her butt off with me all day!!! And a big thanks to my friend Meredith for sending my name their way in the first place!

Eeeeeeeeek!
I have a new website :) Check it out!
www.KellyMannoPhotography.com
I'm so excited to launch it, my friend Mike did an awesome job with my old one it was just time for me to learn how to do it myself.
Everyone check it out! You might see yourself on there! Tons of new pics.
I must say there are a TON of pics not on there that I wish were because the session was backed up on a CD (before I got my external hard-drive)...so I would have had to re-load entire sessions to find images. So if you don't see yourself on there, it's not cause I didn't like your pics, it's cause I didn't have easy access to them!
Please leave comments below and let me know what you think, and please let me know if there are any glitches, mis-spellings or silly things like that :)

Last night while ya'll were snug in your beds, I got called out into the blizzard at 1am for a "Birth Story" client. It was the single scariest drive I've ever made in my life, you could not see 15 feet in front of your car, nothing was plowed yet so it was just a blanket of white.
But a beautiful healthy baby girl was born regardless, congrats to baby Annabelle and her family. Baby pictures will be posted later this week...once I get some sleep :)
