Melissa Jean Photography

My Photo
Name:
Location: San Luis Obispo, California, United States

My name is Melissa. Having been born, raised, and having fallen in love in SLO I'm so excited to spend my days freezing those same special moments here for others.
People, color, life and light exhilarate me. And wrapping all of that up in a photo, well, that's what I live for. Wanna get to know more? Send me an email, I'd love to get to know you too.

Jocelyn

After a long time of trying to coordinate schedules we finally got a moment to meet up to take photos. Really, it was just a moment. By the time we were out taking photos the sun was halfway sunk below the horizon, but at least we did get a few!



We decided to find the beauty in creepy (no, not talking about Jocelyn) and take pictures up at the sanatorium.





It really is a beautiful building, and was a great setting for some beautiful photos.




Of course though, with the location come the occasional spooks... or maybe Joce just has some funny faces. Either way...


...it was a fun photoshoot, but another one (a more complete one) is going to have to happen soon.

Ashlyn has arrived!

Baby Ashlyn has finally made her appearance! And we were hoping she'd come early... shows what we know.

She was born at 8:15 pm, 7lbs 15oz, 20 inches. And absolutely gorgeous.

Photos of her will be coming soon, but until then here are some photos of her cute room that's been waiting for her.

This is what's written on the wall outside her room:


Look at that crib! The gauze covering was her aunts and has now been passed down.




Look at all that pink!




Mini Ugg Boots!



Ashlyn's got some cute clothes and binkies, that's for sure.

Puppy Love

So the hubby is out of town which means I don't have to exhibit any self control about my obsession with puppies!!

Delaney

Delaney definitely isn't camera shy.



She's also great about throwing out poses that she wants to do or different sceneries she wants to take a picture in. Some being a little goofier than others...



All these shots were taken out in Creston and her dogs were wandering around and trying to mess with us. She was definitely not shy about showing them who was boss.



It's evident that she loves them though.

Donkeys?!

Disclaimer: Prepare for randomness!

So it's one AM, and unfortunately sleep hasn't found me... but random photos have!

I was hanging out with my nieces today and we happened to see my neighbors donkeys hanging out near our fence. (Like I said, random, right?)

Here's some fun pictures of them.




Think they look kinda funny?

You should hear these things talk... they make some weird noises!




I even got to teach my niece Delaney (six yrs old) how to hold the camera and had her take some pictures.




We took a lot of other photos, so some new portraits as well as some lovable pups will be coming soon!

My Little Farmer

Being sick all weekend we've just stayed home and my hubby has been taking such good care of me. He even let me take his picture- he really loves me! =)



Isn't he cute!

And he helped me water our friends garden





And then he got a little mischievous...



And sprayed me with the hose! That little curmudgeon!!

Although I must say, he makes having to stay home sick a lot easier to bear.

Photoshoot with Sarah

More pictures of Sarah!

Here are the rest of the pictures of Sarah.

We ran out of sunlight a little too early, so we'll just have to go out again soon!















I had a new lens to try out, and a flash that hasn't seen enough use, so it was fun experimenting



Unfortunately in some cases it was a bit too bright, but the photos turned out alright considering.
