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!

{ S Family Maternity }

I had such a great time with this family yesterday. I have really come to love maternity sessions. There is definitely a certain glow to an expecting mother. One that I can only hope I captured on film. If you couldn’t tell already, this first pose is one of my favorites for maternity. ...

Beautiful Mom

I love all the directions you can take with photography. I feel as if everytime I do a shoot I walk away learning more and more about poses, lighting, etc. It never gets old and I love every minute of it.
I did a beautiful maternity shoot the other day and I’ve been waiting to post...

Can’t choose. Help?

So, I’m in the post processing days of my most recent shoot. I have really been messing around with some cool stuff in photoshop (textures and actions) and I’ve come across a look I can’t decide on. Let me know what you think. Thoughts?
#1 Troy action/textured

#2 Urban action

#3 Troy action (possible favorite at the moment)

1st Maternity shoot

What fun! I had my very first maternity shoot today. My good friends are expecting their first baby in just a few weeks. She had a really cute idea to paint her belly. I painted it to match her nursery theme and it came out so cute! She was joking that I may have requests...
