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!

    

Chad and Holly's Country Wedding

What's better than capturing a wedding? Capturing a country wedding, for a great couple, on a beautiful day, surrounded by friends, of course :)
Chad and Holly had a perfect day and I am so happy that I got to be a part of it. I love weddings and everything about them. Every one of them is different in almost every way and seeing all the unique ideas and perfect details people have for their day is one of the best things about my job. Holly's flowers were not like anything I have ever seen before and her dress absolutely gorgeous! Everyone in cowboy boots is something I always love seeing, she was a stunning bride and the whole wedding party looked fantastic together

Have a look!

Congratulations Chad and Holly!

Meeting Baby CJ!

It was a short and sweet visit out west, but I got to meet this little sweetheart! And of course, I was thrilled to take some newborn and family pictures while I was there :) I have so many favorites from this session so I decided to make a few collages since there were so many photos I wanted to share. We were all so excited for the arrival of this little one, and he is absolutely precious, I can't wait to see him again in a couple months!

On a side note, newborn photography is something completely new to me but I still think we got some great shots, although I am a little biased! I had fun doing these pictures, so for anyone out there looking for some newborn photos...I'd love the practice! ;)

Notice their beautiful wedding photo, taken by Darlene O'Rourke, in the background. I think it adds to this picture perfectly.
