Meet Melissa!

Let's see......you want to know about me, huh?

I'm pretty simple.  I've been in love with the same man since I was 16 years old.  He is my best friend and we believe in each other....always have....always will.  We have 3 of the most beautiful children you'll ever lay eyes on!  I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt (baseball undershirts are my fave!) although I do love getting dressed up for a night out on the town.  Sushi Den, anyone?  I'm a southern girl through and through.  I fell in love with crawfish way before my man!  I love to eat!  Give me a huge slice of chocolate cake with fudge icing and a cold coke and I'm in heaven!  I'm a Daddy's girl.  I love the outdoors and I am more than willing to take part in anything remotely competitive.  I hate to lose even more than I hate clutter.  I am a lover of practical jokes and was taught by the best.  This is why, to this day, I don't answer my Mother's phone calls on April Fool's Day.  I cherish my friends and family.  They are the ones that have made me who I am.  I love the Lord with all my heart.  He is my strength and my joy.  He has blessed me in every way!  Oh, yeah......and did I mention I LOVE photography!  It is my PASSION!

I love babies!

A few weeks ago I did my very first shoot with a newborn. A great friend of mine was nice enough to let me borrow and practice on her sweet little girl. I learned alot and was pretty happy with how some of the pics turned out. How sweet is she?

We spent the weekend relaxing in...

Location, Location, Location!

Lately, I’ve been in search of shooting locations around town. I notice myself swerving a little while driving because I want to get a better look at a certain spot, or make a mental note of the cross streets. Scary, huh? Who knew photogpraphy was so dangerous.

I took the kids out the other day to...
