About Me
- Melissa
- 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.

So beautiful! Except for my fat hand :)
Aw! Beautiful!!
Melissa--question (you don't have to publish this comment :)
The area on this picture between Claire's face and my face is very light, hiding all the things in the background. How did you do this? If I could eve know what it is called, I could look it up on youtube and learn how to do it on photoshop. There are some pictures that I would LOVE black and white with this soft glow around them like you did.
Thanks for your help!!
Thanks guys all your comments are so encouraging.
Jenna, it's called Bokeh and it happens in camera with a good fast lens wide open usually 2.8 or lower.
P.S you do NOT have a fat hand lol!
thank you! I'm taking a photography course at UT so I'm hoping that will help me to know what exactly that means! :)
I love this picture.. I love how detailed it is!
