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

Eliana {Child Mini Session}

I had such a good time with this sweet little girl today.  A few months ago I hosted a Matilda Jane Trunk Show.  This sweet one’s Momma bought this adorable dress and earned a free mini session with me at the same time.  According to her Mom, Eliana knows how to accessorize with any outfit. ...

Audrey {Senior Session}

I had such a good time at tonight’s session.  We managed to find the PERFECT location for Audrey and I was so excited that she was so pleased.  It was a beautiful find and one that I’ll definitely be going back to.  I loved all the colors and the light was beautiful. 
 Audrey, you’re adorable and...

Susana {Senior Session}

I don’t have to tell you if I had to dodge the rain tonight.  It has become my M.O. for photo sessions.  We managed to work around it though. 
Meet gorgeous Susana!  She kept saying she was nervous, and that she was not photogenic……um…I beg to differ.  Susana, you’re beautiful!  I enjoyed this session so much,...

Ben {Senior Session}

It was such a nice evening out tonight for Ben’s session.  We met up downtown and strolled along the back streets to find just the right spot to shoot.  It was a great time and I enjoyed talking with him and his Mom and getting to know them both.  They both made me laugh and...

Thursday in the Park {Children Session}

I spent the morning in the park with 4 adorable kiddos!  Just look at them.  We had a time getting them all to look at the camera, but I think we got some good ones.  They are just precious and I love all their personalities.  I have to give Mom kudos for getting them all...

Sugar and Spice… {Newborn Session}

I have been itching to do another newborn session for months!  I’ve had tons of ideas and tons of props that I wanted to use.  Finally, the day came. 
I’m going to let all of you guess what this sweet little girl’s name is from today’s session.  There are plenty of hints all through the pictures.

Madelyn {Senior Session}

Again, with the RAIN!  I don’t know what it is about my booking of sessions, but almost all of them have ALMOST gotten rained out.  Tonight’s session was no different.  On the way there I see these huge, dark clouds lingering close to my session location.  For the first few minutes it rained, but after waiting...
