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!!
