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!

It’s been a crazy day today, but I’ve managed to get a few pics up for this sweet family!  I had a great time hanging out with them, and getting to know a few of them a little better.  Thanks for having me in your home.  It was a joy!

Little “S” Man

What a gorgeous evening it was for a shoot.  The lighting was out of this world.  I love it when I can find little pockets of light, tucked away.   A big thanks to Caroline for being my assitant and helping me out so much! 
This little guy is 18 months old, and he is awaiting the...

Mr. Olympian

My nephew had his very first Preschool Special Olympics this week!  I definitely didn’t want to miss it, so I packed up my camera and the only kid I have that is out of school at the moment, and headed across town. 
It was such fun watching him do all the courses, not too mention, dominate...

Just for you, Dad

When we went home to LA a few weeks ago, I took some pictures of my kids playing around on my parent’s “farm”.  The kids always have a blast running around and getting filthy.  They spend their time collecting eggs from the chicken coop, riding around on 4-wheelers, hunting for 4 leaf clovers, playing on the deck,...

“M” Family……….{Southern Shoot}

Take a look at this gorgeous family!  Mom and I are good friends from high school and we also were roomies in college up until Jimmy and I got married.  I was so excited when she contacted me about doing a session with her family.  We were both coming into Shreveport, LA  from opposite sides...

A little bit of flare

I’m in love with flare at the moment.  I am in awe of so many photographers who can capture this stunning flare in their images.  How do they do this?  I haven’t figured it all out yet, but I’m trying.  I try everytime I have a camera in my hand….i’ll eventually get it.  At least...

15 month old boy + open field = DISTRACTED

I LOVE this family!  They always are up for all my crazy ideas and locations.  After this session I made a mental note. 
NO MORE OPEN FIELDS FOR 15 MONTH OLDS! 
Here are a few of my favorites from the session.  Enjoy!

It’s a GIRL!!!

When my friends decided to do a shoot for their 15th month old this past weekend, I had an idea.  See, they are expecting another sweet little one and they were scheduled to find out the sex of the baby early this week.  I wanted to create a picture that would reveal the gender to all...
