Getting established as a new professional photographer :)






Hi, my name is Melissa, and I love photography! It has been a passion of mine for a really long time, I started taking even more pictures after I had my children, then after a few years decided to try to get serious about it. That is why I am here now, to show you some of my work from my recent portfolio to try to get my photography established as a business. I hope you like my work, my areas of interest is fashion/glamour/commercial/and children photography, I do not do swimsuit/any types of nude/or any lingerie photography (the reason for this is I believe that I can capture the beauty of the person without having to use any sort of sex appeal to my pictures) I got steered in the wrong direction when I was in the modeling field and got pressured into a lot of modeling that I didn't feel comfortable in doing, and I honestly feel that to much of the industry is getting young people to do to much with sex appeal, and I am trying to establish that you can get some excellent modeling pictures without having to do that, I love fashion so that is the area I work in most, I want the real beauty of the model captured in my photography, and I believe I can do that. I also love working with children, there is such a innocence and purity to them that I like to capture in my photos. Anyway, check some of these out(I only have a few posted, one is of my daughter and the others are of my friend that I did for her wedding, I have lots more, that I will be adding of some other shots I have done) let me know what you think, thank you so much!
