I had the pleasure of meeting a family this evening, who is so full of life and laughter it made the session so easy!  They are friends with the family featured in the post below – and I love when I get the chance to meet friends of my clients – there is always an instant connection!

What I loved most about this session was that they brought their dog *and* they wanted a family session with their teenage son.  I don’t get that often enough, but certainly this time in life is just as important to capture as the moments of early childhood. :)

We traveled through the Botanical Gardens and then onto the Stockyard to take advantage of the light.  G family, I hope you all love these as much as I do!  Can’t wait to edit the rest of your session!

Joey. The most adorable dog (after my own, of course)

There is nothing quite like a true expression from a teenage boy…and this guy was hilarious!

My most favorite way to capture a couple…

    I am “Mr. G” in these photos and although I think I could have used a hair brush, my wife and I are captivated by Melissa’s talents, skills and not to mention her vivacious personality! She’s a blast to work with and has a fantastic eye for photographic art!

    My son’s eyes are very sensitive to light, but Melissa is one of few photographers to “trick” him into keeping his eyes OPEN during a photo shoot!! We can’t wait to see the complete results of her work. Thank you, Melissa!!

  • Thank you! It was a lot of fun capturing your family!! I can’t wait for you to see the whole gallery!
