Oh….I’m not even sure where to begin other then to say to all of my clients and friends, THANK-YOU so much for everything and for making 2009 a GREAT year for me! Well it’s with a heavy and happy heart that I tell you all that I have accepted my old job with Ropak back. Truth is, I never thought that I would be so happy to have to start getting back up at 5:30 in the morning M-F but I am. This is such a great opportunity for my family and I hope you all understand my reasoning for not being able to turn it down. I will miss all of you very much and I’m so thankful for the great friendships that I have made along the way. Please stay in touch and for all of you baby planners out there, don’t worry, I’ve been in touch with you already about how your sessions are going to work so that we can finish out your little ones first year. I send my thanks to everyone out there for everything

For future inquiries, I have a handful of local photographers that are more then willing to make an appointment with you so please let me know if you are interested and I’ll pass along their information!

God Bless,
Melissa

Hi Everyone! Wow what a great year 2009 was. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me grow my business. I appreciate everyone of you As some of you know I’ve had to change my schedule for the 2010 year and will only be doing 2 sessions a week with the exceptions of newborns and maternity sessions. With that being said, there are a few new things that are now in place so please check out my website for more information. And also due to the fact that I’m only doing 2 sessions a week, I’m now taking appts for the middle of April and beyond. So get with me asap if you have a day in mind!

Well it seems like we just got over Christmas and the New Year and to think about something else almost seems like that would be exhausting. With Valentines Day a few weeks away I thought that I would run a little special for those of you who maybe interested. On Jan 11th only, I will be doing 6 mini sessions in the studio. For $60 you will get a 20-30 minute session, 24 wallet sized valentines day cards and 2 of your childs best poses on a cd with a print release. Please add $5 for each additional child. If interested please contact me today to secure your spot and since it’s only a 1 day thing and only a handful of people will be able to get in, payment is required immediately via paypal to hold your spot. Below are a few examples of the cards that I have that can be used.

Well it feels like forever since I’ve posted anything on here but the truth is I’ve been on vacation to Colorado to visit my sister and then when I came home my husband decided to redo our main bathroom so this past week has been a whirlwind to say the least. But what a great way to get back into the groove then to get my camera out for these two precious girls. I just love taking their pictures and I think the 3rd time is the charm. I’m so sorry Mom for the extra long delay in showing you these but nonetheless, I hope you love ‘em! Enjoy

My session on Saturday was with this small hometown music group called ‘Higher Hope’.  They needed to get an updated look now that they have a new member. So here’s your sneak peak and I’ll be in touch soon when the others are up Enjoy and it was so great seeing all of you again! For more information on their ministry you can visit, Higher Hope Online.

And this is the extended Higher Hope Family

Wow…this past week has been super busy, Ms Madelyn was my 4th newborn in a week and she wont be the last either, with one more this afternoon and another on Sunday I’m sure to cure any baby fever I may have had I couldn’t get over her beautiful, thick, black hair and her creamy, tan skin. She was just perfect and at 4 days old she is now the youngest newborn I’ve ever photographed. She also set the standard pretty high yesterday for our session cause we were done with everything, paperwork, clean-up, etc in under 1 hour!! She rocked. Thank you Morgan for bringing your little blessing in to see me yesterday, she’s a true joy. Enjoy your sneak peak and I’ll be in touch soon when the others are up and I can’t wait to see you all again for her 4 month old session
