Newborn baby and Maternity photographer, La Quinta, Indio, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City | Melissa Landres Photography bio picture

Welcome!

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! Here's a little something about me...

Even in high school, I already knew what I wanted to be when I grew up...it all started with the photography and art classes, I was hooked, I would "shoot" everything. Back then, we started our learning on a school issued 35mm film camera (do they even teach with those anymore?) {{haha}} . Then, when I landed a part-time job with some local photographers, I was living my dream, and I was able to learn so much more about my craft. I've been shooting professionally since 2001. This is not my hobby or side job, I love what I do, and I do it full time. My camera allows me to capture precious images of my loved ones, special memories, and the good times we share. Because I never want to forget these things...

Out of all of the material possessions I have, my photographs are my most valuable. In each image I've captured a special moment, an expression, a laugh, a smile, a feeling, or a story. With my camera that moment has been forever frozen in time. And I would love to share that gift with you. So you too will never forget these things... ♥

Please contact me to schedule your photographs today!

Happy Fourth | newborn baby photographer Melissa Landres

Monday, July 2, 2012

I’m so excited, I’m getting ready to spend some much needed time with my family and the kids for the holiday! My mom & dad, my brothers and sister, all of my nephews, and my new little niece! We love to get together at the beach and watch the fireworks together, it’s a { blast! } I’m also excited to take lots of photos, I don’t get many opportunities to practice photographing fireworks, so I can’t wait to take my camera and have some more fun!

Happy Fourth of July America!
