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.

New Beginnings

A brand new year and I got to start it off (at 9AM! Yikes! Early for me!) with a maternity shoot for my very own sister!!

But first, I also did a shoot for them WAY long ago, about four years, in San Diego. Here's my favorite image from that day:



She's only 6.5 months along, but since she lives up in Northern California I don't get to see her often so this might be the only chance I get!

She and her husband have decided not to find out if they're having a boy or a girl until delivery. They also are with holding any potential names.

It's their first baby and they're more than ready. A little over a year ago they got a puppy who completed their family for a short time. Then a few months later my sister got a kitten. Now with baby on the way they have their dog Dory, a kitten named Upsilon and a tiny black kitten named Friday the 13th. I think baby-no-name will be quite a perfect completion to their family!

I'm hoping to make it up to see my sister sometime before she's due to get some real good maternity shots. But I'll definitely make it up their for the birth!!

In the mean time, here are some of their maternity photos to enjoy. It was a perfect morning for the shoot and we got done just as it started sprinkling!












We thought this looked like a spinning wheel from ... Snow White? Some Disney movie! Either way, we knew we had to get a picture with it!






So exciting!!!I can't wait until March when she's due!!!

Kalonie & Ashlyn



The soon to be Ashlyn Renee is featured in this photo shoot. And I really really can't wait for her to make it out and be the star of her own photoshoot.



Although I'm sure her mom is ten times more anxious for her arrival. She's constantly looking toward her stomach or resting her hand there, so ready for the little girl to be out of there!



She's definitely going to be a great mom, and already loves her little "baby bump" so much!



She's adorable with her enormous bump, and Ashlyn is going to be gorgeous as well.



And my personal favorite from the bunch....



Ashlyn is due Aug 15 but we're thinking she might make it out a little early.
