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 love crawfish!  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!

In my bag:  Nikon D700, 85mm f 1.4 and 50mm f 1.8

Hello 2010!

Can you believe it?  Not only do we have a brand new year to start fresh, but a whole new DECADE to accomplish all our goals and maybe even some of our long-awaited dreams! 

I can honestly say that I am right in the midst of my “long-awaited” dream and loving every minute of it!  There are so many ideas in my head, not to mention all those creative juices flowing.  I may need to get my own tap dispenser installed.  :)

I know that we all think about resolutions for the new year.  I’ve pretty much given up the “I’m gonna lose 10 (really 20 ) pounds” thing.  That has needed to be resolved for years now, and it just never sticks.  I think I’m going to resolve to do something more fun and something that doesn’t involve giving up my beloved Hostess cupcakes!  :)   So, because my crazy, type A brain loves lists here are my 2010 resolutions in no particuliar order.

1.  Learn to balance job and homelife so that I can continue to enjoy my husband and kids.  This one is non-negotiable!

2.  Devour marketing strategies and ways to promote my business so that my clients and soon-to-be clients continue to come back wanting more, but also benefit greater than me.

3.  Get my hands on a Nikon 50mm 1.4lens (unless they decide to make a 1.2 this year)!

4.  Take a romantic/fun getaway to NYC with the love of my life! 

5.  Blog more! 

6.  Capture even fewer posed images and more “heart-following” images.

7.  Attend more workshops by inspiring photographers.

8.  Design and print my very first album! 

9.  Laugh more (clutter free or not) !

10.  Love on my family and friends!  I’ve got the best ones in the world! 

I’m excited to come back in a year and check off all ten of these resolutions!  I’ve heard that if you write things down, they are more likely to come true!  I hope this is the case! 

I don’t like posting without a picture, soooo……..here’s a shot of my kids and their cousins a few months ago.  I got this printed big for my parents for Christmas as a surprise.  Aren’t they the cutest?

Love to all and dream big in 2010!!!!
