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 so hard about what I want to say about myself!  I grew up in Florida with a large family of nine kids. My enitre family has Art running through their veins. My G-pa was a professional photographer (old school), 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 my photography is like my drug, ha ha ha. I am 5 years married with two sweet boys, 3 and 18 mo. (I'm going to have to keep that updated...). I love my family dearly, I love my beliefs and going to church, I'm a good girl, and I never INTEND to offend anybody :) Sarchasm is non-existant in my blood, so I can get very confused around it sometimes, but that's okay.

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 3 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 was 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?

Allen Family Session!

Well, there are always those times when a mother worries that after the photo session is all over that there is no chance that we got something good.  We always know better, and assure her that we got super cute stuff.  I have to admit that there are moments when I worry as well, but I always find out that we STILL get great stuff!  This little bundle of joy decided to give me great smiles for the first setting, but after that she decided it was time to be done…we were definitely not done yet!  So with a few breaks here and there, and a most welcomed cheerio snack, we coaxed this busy girl into letting me play with her a little longer.  I don’t think I need to worry after choosing these as just a couple of my favorites…

Tim & Llama: E-Session Sneak Peek I

Well, this is sort of big for a sneak peak, but Tim and Llama are getting married in Dec. and I wanted to show a little more.  Plus, how could I narrow it down!  These ones were so great.  Thanks to you both for such a good time.

Sibling Rivalrey

I had the opportunity yesterday to shoot these three siblings.  They were all so unique in their cuteness, and I just enjoyed every minute. I could’ve spent an hour with each of them separately, but it was very very cold, so I didn’t want to freeze them.  I’ve known these guys a little over two years now, and I’ve always thought, “Gee, those kids would be fun to photograph!”  So, Here we are!

Anna is just at the age where you just don’t feel comfortable in you own skin, no matter how incredably beautiful you are. I hope she likes these pictures…if not now, maybe in 10-15 yrs ;) Just look at how beautiful you are Anna!
