Melanie Jade: Photographer bio picture

The Person

Well first of all, I try not to take myself too seriously, so it's hard for me to think about what I want to say about myself!  I grew up in Florida with a large family. My enitre family has Art running through their veins. My Grandfather was a professional photographer, Mom and Dad both have artistic qualities, and I think all of my sibblings have a knack for being creative one way or another! So here I am, married with children and wondering how in the world am I going to channel my passion into something beautiful, productive, fulfilling, and find bliss all at the same time!? But seriously, I sometimes feel like photography is my drug.

I am 6 years married with three sweet boys, 4, 2, and 5 months. (I'm going to have to keep that updated...). I love my family dearly, I love my Heavenly Father and going to church, I'm a good girl, and I never INTEND to offend anybody :) I'm very gullible, goofy, and an all around happy-go-lucky person.

The Photographer

Why Photography?  Oh goodness, I need an outlet, I LOVE people, I love love, and I LOVE adorable little baby fat rolls. I HAVE to create, I can't breathe without that.  Though being a full time mom and homemaker takes up most of my time and energy, I just can't keep myself from obsessing and dreaming about being an amazing wedding Photographer.  Over the past 4 years in the wedding industry, I feel like I've become a regular wedding junkie!  By recognizing the latest styles and wedding trends, I am prepared to capture everything that is unique and beautiful at your wedding and wrap it all up into an amazing timeless package.  And that amazing package is the work of art you will walk away with when the day is all said and done.  How well do you want to remember it?

Josh & Necia’s Engagement shoot

Josh and Necia’s Engagement pictures were fun and different. I did a lot of experimentation with different lighting set-ups that I’m not very practiced with yet, BUT I was glad that I decided to bring it all with me this time. Not even twenty minutes into our shoot, a super thick rain cloud rolled over us and its was too dark in an instant! Fortunately, it didn’t rain on us, but it forced me to step out of my comfort zone, and think a little differently. Some things worked, other things, not so much!
Don’t worry you guys, we still got great stuff! I’m not even posting my favorites! I couldn’t spoil the surprise, yanno? Looking forward to your viewing session! Enjoy…
