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.

Misty and Casey | Templeton

Misty is a friend of mine way back from grade school. She's now living up in Nor Cal so we don't see each other very often. But for the holidays she and her boyfriend were going to be down here and we set up a time to meet up and do pictures. Since they were going to be for their holiday cards I agreed to keep them hidden until after Christmas. But it was such a great shoot I wanted to share it now.

Don't they look great?? Misty and Casey have been together for 5 years now, and they really are an adorable couple.

Engagement Photography | Julie and Shane



Julie is one of my best friends from college at Point Loma Nazarene University. At first we were coworkers, then we were coworkers at two jobs, then slowly we became friends (ok, it actually happened kind of fast after we had that second job together, all...summer.... long... )then we were great friends all year and roommates and coworkers at the slowest job on earth the next summer (is it sad that I sometimes miss that job??).

Now we live an unfortunate 6 hours away instead of 6 minutes and I don't get to see her nearly often enough. I did however have the pleasure of going out to Yucca at the end of November to visit her, meet her boyfriend and do couple photos for them. With the busy holiday season the pictures took a while to finish, but I'd say my timing was pretty darn good since they just got engaged on Christmas! =) Now I get to post it and brag about their engagement!!



Aren't they a gorgeous couple?! And SUCH characters, laughing and making faces the whole time. A perfect pair.









It was SO much fun to do your photos! Can't wait till the wedding =)

Hannah and Dusty

So, I have been really slacking on the blogging, more from too much work than not enough. Holidays are a crazy time for photography with annual family photos (I highly recommend doing photos each year by the way!) and enough print orders to cover all counter space in my house!

Here is a recent couple, just finishing up their photos tonight. There are a TON of great ones, but here are just a few of my favorites!









Feels great to be able to send this off before the holidays!!!

Many new changes coming in the new year. And possibly a little facelift for the blog here =)
