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!

Family time : Indian Wells family photographer Melissa Landres

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

I had the pleasure to photograph this happy family recently, we scheduled an early morning session to avoid the heat! And they all look so fabulous that you’d never know it was already blazin’ hot outside. I really love that we had a moment to take a few special shots of just mom and dad together, so sweet… It’s something we sometimes forget to do, or don’t take the time to do, and the majority of the camera time is usually on all the cute kids, but it’s so important that you take a few moments to be photographed too!
In later years, you and your children will adore these ♥
