I could tell you how old she is, but then the truth would probably make you jealous. This Foxy Cleopatra’s charisma and looks are as fresh as a young teen. Seriously, she’s a hot mama. And not only that, she’ll be a highly favored contestant in the upcoming Mrs. Idaho America Pageant.
We danced, we laughed,...
Come on, tell us how old she is!!! Good luck in the pageant!
I LOVE the studio images!!!!!! So cool, have you thought about doing a workshop for lighting??? I would love that!
Jenny! Ask her :-0
Sarah, I’ve been asked that but not yet. In the future maybe.
Thanks so much, Melissa! We had sooo much fun! And..Jenny..all I can say is my eldest of 4 is nearly 21 years old, so you can figure the math. 
Melissa,
You are a Hero. I love the pix of my smokin’ hot wife and very lucky to have her back in my life. (Hey…that Rhymes!)
I love your work…you are great at what you do and we had a blast spending the afternoon with you and your Fam. Happy T’giving.
Melissa, you know that I love your work (as always) and I just love Beverly!! You captured her beautifully and let her personality shine. She looks gorgeous and fresh in each picture. Woot Woot!!! Can’t wait to spend the entire pageant weekend with this fine lady!!
Oh Melissa… so so beautiful! Your work is amazing!
Great work Melissa! We want to come up and shoot with you too!

Sometimes a photo can be overdone, over thought, over planned. We want the perfect headband with the perfect boots to match the perfect backdrop with the perfect props. (Ugh. Props.) Have we ever sat back to look at the “props” that are quite frankly right in front of our face? ...

Oh my freaking heck….I’m in love with these!!!!
I believe that props can be a little out of control, and I’m so grateful you posted this. There’s nothing more beautiful than the real emotion of a child.
I dig the blue hue, those are legit.
Oh I couldn’t agree with you more. Except my unplanned perfection shots just don’t turn out as beautiful as yours. I LOVE yours! And I’m all about the candid moments, so real.
You have the most gorgeous family. Love your baby’s little toothy grin. Those lips on Liv are beautiful!
Can’t wait to see what #3 looks like.
And of course as always, great images Melissa!
I love this post!
I always keep my camera on my kitchen counter for moments like these.
Amazing shots Melissa!
Beautiful…
Melissa,
Not only do your photos capture the moment but your writing does as also, well said, and beautiful pure photos!
I surely do love these two little faces, so different in personality but both are uniquely charming. Great keepsake photos, Melissa!!
