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

Maren {Senior Session}

Maren, it was so much...

{ 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,...

Melody……{Senior “Southern Shoot”}

I’m not sure I have words to describe to you how well this shoot went.  There is something magical that happens when all the aspects of a shoot, just fall into place.  Location, subject, style, light……it just all clicked!  I could not be more pleased with how these turned out. 
And………just in case you were wondering,...
