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.

Halloween


I like Halloween just as much as the next person. More than Halloween though I like the weather of fall, and the leaves changing colors, but most of all I like that Halloween sets off a season of fun outfits and decorations!

However, if that "next person" is Dani, well, I definitely need to up my game.

Dani LOVES Halloween. It's her favorite, and it's evident.

I went to Dani's house to take some pictures of her decorations and even her cat is halloween themed! (Her cat also has been having a bit too much Halloween candy as well if ya know what I mean)


Here are some pictures of her awesome decorations.
















See you Soon!!

Ashlyn and Family

Sooo, I'm a great Aunt, and have been for just over a month. As you can imagine I already have oh.... 2,000 pictures of the little doll. However I have been quite remiss in not posting any here!!

So here is a look at Ashlyn, delivery (well, the parts where I wasn't passing out) to the first photo shoot and beyond. Well, there isn't much beyond yet, but there will be!!

Three generations, each looking down at their baby girl


Great Grandma getting to be with her family










LOVE the baby fingers!


And especially the toes!! Look at those tiny feet!






Photoshoot with the Grandmas and daddy


Don't these grandmas look great?!?


Baby girl loves her daddy




And that's when he first smelled that something was wrong....


Apparently her diaper wasn't very secure...


And he was NOT a happy daddy!!


Daddy and baby girl are having a stern face contest... I think she won.


There will be many more coming, this is just a teaser!!

Senior Portraits - Ajeunee'

Senior pictures (and a few couple pictures) with Ajeunee' last weekend was incredibly fun. Starting out at Hunter Ranch Golf Course and then heading into downtown Paso to find some fun obscure locations, we actually found some gold mines. It was a lot hotter than I anticipated and I realized I'm definitely a SLO girl now!
Ajeunee' was a natural in front of the camera and was so good at following the many instructions I sometimes tend to throw out.
































Looking forward to my next adventure!! (Possibly baby pictures on Sunday?!)
