Watch Me Grow | Mason Child Photographer | Cincinnati Photographer

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:02:27 +0000

This little princess has been a Priceless Reflections by Melissa client since she was just a few days old. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her grow and the honor of documenting her life through portraits for her family. On this day, she was real trooper and full of laughs, giggles, and that batting eyelashes look that every little girl seems to master to get what she she wants.

Recognize her from the top of the Smugmug site where you view your images after the session? She’s growing up!

The Jackson Family – our Fresh Faces Runner Up from Cincinnati – stylin’ and profilin’ in front of my lens at Sharon Woods – Heritage Village. Little Levi was amazing to work with – he even chose his OWN stylish threadz for the session…. what a sweet sweet boy he is.

The King Family received their Priceless Reflections by Melissa session as a gift from the Fresh Faces Grand Prize winner and we had so much fun shooting their sessions back-to-back in Middleton.

A little brother/sister love. Awwww…

It’s a Small World | Mason Photographer | Cincinnati Family Photographer

As Mom to two boys, I can relate to that incredible bond between mothers and sons, and this session really rocked my socks because I got to focus on their relationship. No distractions, no other STUFF, just mom, son, and me… along with some seriously killer light.

That’s not to say it was all serious and deep – we have too much fun for that!

Mom’s got a heartbreaker on her hands. Oh, those eyes!

Piece of really cool but totally useless trivia: Mom attended college with my husband in Carbondale. How cool is that? Let’s all bust out in a chorus of, “It’s a Small World!”

Love Makes the World Go Round | Cincinnati Family Photographer

I’ve been blessed to photograph the “B” family for the last 3 years or so. Blessed because they’re a unique family full of love and compassion and yeah, a lot of fun. The expressions on their faces are so much fun – just look at a slice of our day.

How can you resist smiles like this?

Singing in the Rain | Mason Photographer

admin — Fri, 28 May 2010 19:31:05 +0000

Clients often ask what happens if we have weather-that’s-less-than-perfect for a session. A little rain doesn’t stop the Fowler family and it doesn’t stop me. Just look at what fun we had and what great images they’ll have of their time playing in the sprinkles with that crazy Melissa photographer lady.

And then my personal favorite. This is a piece of art for their home – it’s fun, it’s colorful, it’s welcoming, it’s playful, it’s THEM. No one’s looking at the camera, no one’s cheesing… it’s a real moment and it’s why I’m here.

I’ve been photographing the Fowler family since Miss G was only a few days old and splashing in puddles suits us just fine. They wanted me to come back and play the next day – now THAT is a successful portrait session!

Twice As Nice |Scottsdale Family Photographer|

admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 20:20:06 +0000

Photographing this family is always a treat – whether in Cincinnati – or here in Scottsdale! I love it when my clients from Ohio end up vacationing in Arizona, and call me for photos! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Caleb and Campbell for quite some time now — and with every session, I just love them more and more! (Plus it helps that their parents are really AWESOME too!)

I photographed the twins in Old Towne Scottsdale and then we went to the Sugar Bowl (haven’t been? I highly recommend it!)…. for some ice cream and of course, more photos!

Wedding Bells {Scottsdale Wedding Photographer}

I met this charming West Side couple at the Civic Center in Scottsdale for pre-wedding portraits.

They were getting married at the courthouse but still wanted fabulous engagement-style portraits to remember the day. They’re super sweet, so very much in love, and they made my job so easy.

Just look!

They celebrated the big event at a small Brazilian restaurant with family and close friends and I can’t wait to show them the rest of their images !

Phoenician Family {Phoenix | Scottsdale Family Photographer}

What do you get when you take a family of 16 from all over the United States, mix them with a venue that’s off-the-chain gorgeous (The Phoenician, in Scottsdale), and top it with a session full of laughs? You get this:

Gloria & Family…. thank you so much for making me a part of your family holiday get-together. It was an honor and a pleasure… and a lot of fun!
