Melissa Landres Photography bio picture

welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! Do you want to know something about me? I am passionate about my [ photography ], I always have been...

When I was asked in high school: what do you want to be when you grow up? I always said a photographer. It all started with the photography and art classes in high school, I would shoot any and everything. Back then, we started our learning on a school issued 35mm film camera (do they even teach with those anymore? ☺). And after high school, I was "over-the-moon" when I got a part-time job with some local photographers, I was able to learn so much more about my art. But working or not, I would shoot every day, I was never without a camera! It was so very important to me that I documented the people that I loved and the many special moments in my life. I never wanted to forget those things...

Then, I got married and became a mother } On the day my first son was born, we took 354 photos in the hospital, 354!!!. It was insane. I remember thinking: thank goodness this is a digital camera! Because I didn't want to miss a thing! And it only gets worse as our little family grows, the shutter is always clicking. We have been blessed with three little cuties, two lively little boys and one sweet little girl. So my camera has now become an extension of my arm. And I am so lucky to be married to a super supportive husband who loves and appreciates photography just as much as I do. 

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