Watch Me Grow | Mason Child Photographer | Cincinnati Photographer

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!

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?

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 !

Another amazing family…. another rainy day in Cincinnati! I had the pleasure of photographing Lora’s family again… this time in downtown Cincinnati! She paid close attention to our conversation on “what to wear” and with the help of her awesome hubby….. came up with a wonderful look for the whole family… fun, colorful, but not too busy! Downtown was the perfect venue for this urban chic family session!

Secrets about Melissa [Phoenix | Cincinnati Child Photographer]

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:48:26 +0000

It’s no secret to my clients that I’m “nacho” average girl. No, really… please stop laughing. It’s true. But maybe you didn’t realize that one of my absolute favorite foods is – NACHOS! I like them spicy and mild, piled high and simple, Mexican style and other.

Here are some of my favorite local nacho haunts in the Cincinnati area.
Abuelo’s: Mason, Ohio
Colors Cafe

My nacho-lovin’ friend Kimberly in Myrtle Beach says I have to try these nachos too so after we get settled in Phoenix, a girlfriend trip is in the works!

Margaritaville: Broadway at the Beach
California Dreaming: Surfside (try the BBQ Chicken Nachos!)

I’m really looking forward to learning about nachos Phoenix-style so if any of you Phoenix peeps have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!

Two of the most Beautiful Kids… EVER!

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:00:13 +0000

I’ve had the honor of photographing the Z family for about 4 years now – have been thrilled and delighted to photograph their two children as newborns, chubby smiling babies, and now gorgeous little PEOPLE! Actual people! Tonight’s photo shoot was just so much FUN!

I chased these little ones around and we giggled, laughed, danced, and played with chalk… I had to open a FEW previews to share because I was too excited knowing how gorgeous these kids are! (It’s a photographer thing, I think – you get great images, opening and viewing them is kind of like being a kid in a candy store… )

So without any further rambling… here are two of the most gorgeous kids …..

Spunk x2 [Middletown Child Photographer]

admin — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:39:02 +0000

When Mom calls for a session, I know I’m in for a treat. I’ve been photographing this spunky brother/sister pair for a while now and they’re absolutely adorable. Full of spirit, great smiles, lots of expression, which makes for a fun session and yes, it wears us out — but boy is is worth it! Mom is downright awesome with a keen eye for dressing the kidlets nicely and we always have a good laugh over the antics of these two.

Tomorrow’s installment of Fashionista Friday is almost ready to go and just a reminder, we’re booking up fast for our October return to Cincinnati. Call to get YOUR date soon!
