January 6, 2010 - 3:42 pm Melissa - Thanks Brooke! I can't get anyone to be serious for more than two seconds at a time. I figure if you can't beat 'em, join 'em :)

LeFevre - part 3.

Finally part 3! I swear I didn’t forget…it has just been so crazy around here with all of the Christmas activities and preparations. And when you are crazy busy with no extra time for anything, of course you get sick. All is well now and we are officially ready for the holidays.

Here they are…

This little guy is just awesome. He has enough personality for ten kids. He had us cracking up the entire time.

 lefevre17lefevre15lefevre16Thanks for letting me spend the afternoon with you LeFevre family! I had a really great time. You are the best!

January 6, 2010 - 12:12 pm ali - ok...another typo...GEEEZ! "lens" or i guess i could pretend i'm french? hahaha

January 6, 2010 - 3:38 pm Melissa - Hey Ali! It is my favorite lens...24-70 f2.8L (canon) Although, I got a new 50mm 1.2L for Christmas that might take it's place as my favorite :) Can I pretend to be French with you??? Sounds like fun!

LeFevre - part two.

lefevre9lefevre8Can you believe how handsome these two boys are? They are going to be fighting of the girls in a few short years!lefevre11lefevre10lefevre12

LeFevre Family

I decided that this family needs to be split up in to three posts. They are all so beautiful I couldn’t narrow down the pics to fit into one post!

And I just want to say that we fought the wind, and we won :) lefevrelefevre3lefevre5Cool car, right?! I secretly wanted to go for a spin…lefevre4lefevre7

And I just had to include this last picture. Isn’t she so hot?! I love her to death. She is one of the sweetest women I know.

December 7, 2009 - 10:16 pm Sandy Mecham - You continue to amaze me!!! Love you - Mom

The Halas Family

You can’t tell by looking, but 4 out of 5 of this beautiful family were sick, and have been for a month. Mom called the night before to give me a heads up “just in case” they weren’t up to it. I am so glad everything worked out and we went ahead with the session and didn’t reschedule. It was a bit cool and windy but the kids didn’t seem to mind. And they were so much fun to be with. I wanted to take the kids home with me and have big sister teach me how to do a jazz walk!

One of my favorite parts of photography, that I didn’t anticipate, is getting to become an honorary member of the family when I take pictures of people. I get to be a part of their private interactions with each other and experience their family dynamics. I am grateful each and every time that they trust me enough to let me in and give me an opportunity to be a part of it.

Thank you so much Halas Family! And thank you Miss H for all of your awesome supermodel poses :)

November 18, 2009 - 1:13 pm Brooke - Glad it worked out b/c these turned out gor-or-geous! I bet they are thrilled with these! Nice work!!

The Shiheiber Family

I love this family.

We met three years ago when their son and mine started kindergarten together. The boys became instant friends, and so did Colleen and I. She is so easy to be friends with.

I am grateful to know them.

The Lewis Family

Can you even stand how beautiful this family is?

lewis4lewislewis11lewis5lewis3I am grateful for the chance I had to hang out with them and get to know them a little better. I can say they are just as great on the inside.

I have lots more pictures of them to share plus I have some senior photos too.

But first…I have 17 big fluffy hair bows to make for Ashton’s volleyball team.
And lots of cake pops to make to sell at their “Dig Pink” game to raise money for breast cancer research.

November 1, 2009 - 11:54 am Sandy Mecham - Beautiful as always! Great looking family.

Elizabeth

I spent this Saturday morning with Elizabeth. She is such a sweet girl. We share two favorite hobbies passions…photography and reading. I’m pretty sure we could spend hours talking about both subjects.

I have been lucky enough to know her and her family for over ten years. They are wonderful so it is no surprise that Elizabeth is such a beautiful, talented, sweet and smart young woman!

October 11, 2009 - 9:04 pm Amber - Beautiful portraits! They are great! Elizabeth has really grown up! I think the first one looks so cool because it looks vintage-y and old-world. I also like the 2nd and 4th alot too! Great job!

October 11, 2009 - 11:40 pm Laura - They are, of course, all incredibly AWESOME! My favorite is the first one :)

October 12, 2009 - 2:51 pm Nanette - Wow!!! Melissa, you are AMAZING --- Again. The first one is so fun. You captured many moods of my gal!!!

October 17, 2009 - 11:54 am Harold Jones - Elizabeth, you are wonderful and beautiful. I liked all of them but especially you with the mosaic sun in the background. You are truly the center of the universe!
