The Garrett Family

I had lots of favorites to choose from for this blog post of this family photoshoot! And of course, because I am a dog lover (especially husky), I had to include my favorite of the dog too :) Have a look!

Family Portraits

Here is an overdue post from a fun family session I did back in May. I always seem to get spoiled in working with the greatest people, and this was especially one of those times! It was a joy to work with Anita and her family :)

Beach time of the year

Canada Day turned out to be a perfect day and we decided to take advantage and do some Beach Sunset photos! I love doing photoshoots at the beach, especially evening photos when you get those gorgeous Lake Huron sunsets! We didnt get quite the sunset I was hoping for that night, but it was a nice night for photos regardless. Stay tuned for many more beach shots to come throughout the summer!

Catching Up

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

This past fall has been a very busy one. My 'real job' in the school photography industry is very seasonal to fall, as you can imagine. So between that, my own photography work and among other things, the last few months left very limited time for updating the blog and online albums. 2013 seemed to be the summer/fall for family photos, so this is my catch up post on a few of those shoots that missed hitting my blog earlier and you will also find updates on Melissa Photography Facebook albums over the next few days!

Happy Holidays!

    

I love weddings!

I came across this slideshow from Jenna and Devon's wedding that was still hanging out on my computer, and as I watched it again it reminded me of how much I love weddings and being able to capture that pure happiness of the day. I had so much fun with Jenna and Devon and everyone involved, what a great day it was. Wedding photography is not a full time job for me, and I don't believe it ever will be. I do it because I love to and I don't ever want it to become a job that I do because I have to. However... I do still have 2013 dates available and would be thrilled to fill them with weddings for anyone still looking for a photographer ;)

Paul and Melissa Engaged

We could not have asked for a more perfect night last Friday for an engagement shoot, a shoot that we had to reschedule twice because of rain. I have worked with Melissa a couple times before for Equine Shoots and was excited to hear from her about her Engagement! She had requested that we do the engagement shoot at Mt Nemo conservation area near Burlington since this is the where Paul and Melissa had their first date, and got engaged. A special spot for the two of them, and it was perfect! We had the entire place to ourselves, there were no bugs at all on a beautiful warm night and we had a gorgeous sunset. What more could we ask?!

Paul and Melissa's wedding is in January, it will be my first winter wedding and I'm so excited about it!! I love winter and have been hoping for a winter wedding to come along! :)
Congratulations Paul and Melissa and I can't wait to capture your special day!!
