It really pays off to just be yourself!
Hello everyone! I just finished filing some emails and I came across
an email from a sweet bride who's wedding is just around the corner
and this one sentence really blessed my heart. It really does give
me strength to continue on by knowing that I can be a blessing to others.
So here is a much deserved THANK YOU to God for keeping me where I need to be. Thank you Caitlin for just being incredibly sweet! I can't wait until your wedding!!!!
Caitlin wrote this in an email on July 28:
Oh, and I just wanted to say, that Im really happy that you are a nice person, if I had to deal with another mean vendor, I was not going to be a happy camper, so, thank you!!

Fall is coming!!!
As I left my house today the air was crisp and something about the sway of the leaves in the wind, gave me that "ahhhh fall is coming" feeling. I just love that first feeling each season, something about it just puts a spring in my step. You see I fell in love in the fall, married my beloved four falls later and birthed both my beautiful boys in the fall. So for me, each year as the leaves begin their beautiful display and the harvest moon begins to shine, I will always be lost in the memories that have become my love story.
Also I had to get out of the house today and do something before I went nuts. So I loaded the boys up and went to the park and I think these images sum up our trip......
Sipper cup $2
Sandals to throw off at any given moment $20
The sight of bare baby toes running through the grass......priceless

Mandi and Daniel
It was so much fun getting to know you guys better! It was so cool how you had some of your own ideas and how you were willing to try all the millions of poses I bent you guys into =) One thing I did learn about you is that you guys have something beautiful and it shows in the pictures. Have fun with this preview and remember to check back soon and I should have a slide show up with more of your pictures. See you Thursday!
This was a great idea Daniel! I really like it
This one is one of my favorites!
Another one of my favs! LOVE it
This was an idea I saw on a fabulous photographer's website and I had to try it out. If you're out there Tracy this is for you. Thanks for inspiring me =)

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.
