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. ...

Aunt Sissy

Aunt Sissy is in town for the week.  The kids have been so excited to see her and are trying to spend as much time as possible with her before she leaves.  She wanted to go out for a quick photo shoot with the kids, so here are some of the images.  I took advantage...

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.

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,...
