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…

What a gorgeous family! I love the DOF and POV!!!
These are such awesome photos!!
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!
