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

Maddie {Baby’s 1st Year ~ 6 months}

How sweet is this little girl?  And her big sister…..OMG!  They are both so adorable and so comfortable in front of the camera.  I just love this whole family!   I can hardly believe Maddie is almost a year old.  It seems like just the other day she was in her Momma’s belly and we...

Laura & Lee {Maternity Session}

I spent the morning with such a sweet family!  I got there a little early so I was able to get to know this precious little girl a little better.  She was so fun to talk to and had such good manners.  It made me miss that Princess stage of life with my two little girls. ...

{ R Family } Mini Session

I got to spend the evening with some good friends last night.  I haven’t seen them in years and years, so it was such fun getting to catch up and meet their children.  We had a blast finding places to shoot all over their property and I had the challenge of working with a newborn,...

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...

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...

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,...
