Raves and Reviews

I've had a couple of requests for references and reviews so I thought I should catch up on posting all the lovely replies my customers have sent. Thanks so much to all of you that have taken your precious time to write such kind letters and comments. Although I do want to say that God is the giver of talent and without Him in my life I wouldn't have these wonderful reviews. So here goes:Hey Melissa! I just wanted to let you know that we have received the album and the cd. They are great! They are everything we had hoped for! It was a pleasure to have you as our photographer, and we will recommend you to everyone that asks for a photographer! Thank you soo much. Keep in touch!

Thanks again!

Anna and Jimmy

I've known Anna and Jimmy almost forever. I remember when Anna was a little talkative girl in my cabin at camp! Wow she has grown to be a beautiful young woman. Love certainly is a delightful color for you Anna. I don't think I've ever seen you look more beautiful as when you are in the presence of Jimmy. Congratulations to you both on finding love!

Anna you are so beautifulI really like this one, you both look so happy!

Crazy kids!

You guys are so comfortable together



Jimmy you are sooooo mean

Sherry and Chris

I had such fun at this wedding. Sherry and Chris are so well suited together, they both have such a kind personality. Oh and Sherry THAT DRESS WAS AMAZING! I so love red. I have been ogling my girlfriend's blog because she photographed a lovely wedding where the bride wore a red dress (if you know me you know about my obsession with red) ;) Well any way you were stunning with the red accents and I was thrilled to get to photograph it! Also check back in a few days and I should have the proofs ready.


This is my favorite


Although this one comes in a close second !

This was such a fun picture






WOW! This from a woman who told me she wasn't photogenic!


You guys are too cute!



About Me

My photo
Wife, mother, photographer based out of Dayton Ohio. Will travel =) I believe in love. I cry when I see it’s presence in photographs of people I don’t even know. I believe love can be touched with the eyes as they move across the well told story of a photograph. That’s what I want to do… I want to tell love stories with my photographs.
I know Jesus in my heart and through him I know how to change lives. All the beauty I see is because of the stability and inspiration of my home life. Family is so very important to me. They are what makes me complete, my foundation and my encouragement. It is because of them that I know a great love story while looking through a lens.
