This is how I roll =)
Saturday, that's right as in this Saturday, as in 20-30 degree Saturday, I had an engagement session (rockin by the way!!) I ♥ you Jules, oh and now Jeremy!
Anyway it was so so cold, I had to pack those hand warmers that you break and stuff in your pockets, just so i could attempt to minimize the red noses, oh and I had like a million stuffed in with the gear. (I was a tad bit frightened for it, "the gear" is like a small child that you love and nurture and hope it doesn't shatter when you expose it to extreme cold =(.
Thank you Lord everything made it out ok, all except my rump which you will probably find frozen to the ground somewhere. Well, due to the conditions, I had to pack on like 3 layers and of course my super cute fuzzy pink viking hat!
On the way home I ran into Sissy and she couldn't stop cracking up at my expense.

He is my strong tower
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul
I go running to your mountain
Where your mercy sets me free

This is crazy!
Oh when that poor camera flips through the air my heart sinks every time. But that shot is so cool though.

Doan and Kyle
Doan, I have never met anyone like you. It was amazing sharing this day with you. The person you are spoke to my heart. Watching you cry tears and experiencing the traditions of your family was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I am blessed to know you and Kyle. Thank you.
I will never forget this day.

Why photographers don't like taking work home lol!
Ok so this is the actual dialog
Mommy (me of course): Ok guys come over here and sit down and let mommy get some nice pictures. Let me see your pretty smile (note that this is addressed to both my boys, but where is Branson in the pic????)
Branson: (runs immediatly at the fist sight of the camera)
Mommy: Yes that is beautiful (grumbles under breath "but so is your new outfit, so lets focus on getting a pic of that") Ok look here at Mommy 1,2,3
Of course I loved it

Exactly how I feel...
music
And I saw it coming
I saw emptiness and tragedy
And I felt like running
So far away
But knew I had to stay
And I know when I'm older
I look back and I still feel the pain
I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be fine
For the rest of my days
I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
I noticed the smallest things
But I didn't notice the change
It was hot in the morning
Then it turned so cold, twas the end of the day
There was no condensation I just felt like I was in space
I needed my friends there I just turned around
They were gone without a trace
I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Now I have just started
And I won't be done till the end
There's nothing I have lost
That was once placed upon the palm of my hands
And all of these hard times
Have faded round the bend
Now that I'm wiser I cannot wait
Till I can help my friends
I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end
Seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end

While hoping around today I heard this beautiful song and with already being a huge Jack Johnson fan, of course I love it.

Feeling terrible
Uggg! I am so terribly sick. I am still doing a bit of work but mostly trying to recover so I can be up and about for this weekends wedding. So if you are waiting for a preview, it may take a bit longer, I apologize in advance.
Thanks guys!
♥Melissa

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.
