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’m in love!

I wish I could describe to you the way my heart lept out of my chest when I drove up to my house after lunch and saw that little box sitting on my porch. My son was probably thinking to himself, why is my mom giggling? I raced inside to open it and gazed at...

Best Week EVER!!!

I did it……I just registered and booked my spot at Amy Wenzel’s photography workshop this June. I’m super excited!
Jimmy came home last night and we figured out a way to cover the expense. I think he is just as excited as I am about me attending. I’ve been wanting to do...

Learning patience…..

Patience is a virtue, isn’t that what they say. Well, I’m lacking in that category. I’m the one that needs things to happen yesterday….always have been. Right now, I’m trying to patiently wait on my lens to come in. It is stuck in Illinois somewhere and hasn’t moved for almost 24...

A thing of beauty!!!

I can’t even begin to tell you how super excited I am! I just purchased my first lens with my own, hard-earned money. And, it’s not just any lens. We’re talking 85mm 1.8 with that sweet, sweet bokeh, lens! I ultimately wanted the 1.4 but the 1.8 is a better deal and really, in the...

Beautiful Mom

I love all the directions you can take with photography. I feel as if everytime I do a shoot I walk away learning more and more about poses, lighting, etc. It never gets old and I love every minute of it.
I did a beautiful maternity shoot the other day and I’ve been waiting to post...

#1 Troy action/textured

#2 Urban action

#3 Troy action (possible favorite at the moment)

{ "T" Maternity }

What a fun shoot I had today! Some good friends of mine are expecting their first baby. A little girl. Without a doubt they will be fantastic parents. As you can see they are pretty much guarenteed a beautiful baby. Y’all are naturals behind the camera. Thanks “T” and “C” for having me in your...
