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?

Maternity Pictures!

Well, actually, I think this is my first real maternity session ever.  I realized this after talking to Daniel, one of my brides from ’07, while admitting I don’t do them “very often” and was feeling a little nervous.  After I got off the phone, feeling so excited to see Ryan and Daniel again, I realized that I really haven’t ever done one before.  But, I have been gathering ideas for quite a while, just keepin’ an eye out for what I would like, should I ever get the opportunity :)   I also took a few pictures in my little home studio which I don’t think I’ve set up for over a year now!  I don’t love shooting indoors, but for those B&W belly shots along with the teeny weeny newborns, I will make an exception.  So here goes a couple of my favorites…
