Throughout our website you’ll see pictures taken by Soul Mates Photo I’ve been dying to share more about, Melissa, the woman behind the camera. I met Melissa in November 2008 and instantly knew that I not only wanted to know her better, but I wanted to work with her more. She has a sense of style which makes a girl want to go shopping, a personality that makes you feel like you’ve known her forever, and a true passion for photography. When I began to design our website I asked Melissa if she’d be able to take some head shots. I brought a few extra items to the shoot and next thing I knew I was designing our website around her images. Check out Melissa’s work throughout our website. Now grab a cup of coffee, get cozy and come get to know Melissa at Soul Mates Photo...

3 things I love about being a photographer.
1. I love art, photography and people. I guess I used up all my answers in one go!
But really, I love photography and art– it’s nothing new to me. I’ve been involved in at least one form or studio art since I can remember (thanks mom and dad!) and have always gone back to it. I love meeting different people and helping them express themselves every day. It keeps life interesting and keeps me on my toes. I love that my job is continually changing. I’m a girl who needs change and challenge in my life. And I love emotion. If you’ve ever met me you know I’m passionate.

A few unique things about myself.
Well, I’ve recently learned I’m full of contradictions. Such as…
I like being creative but I shop at stores like Costco
I love rustic antique things but I also adore modern clean lines.
One day I’ve got curly hair and the next it’s straight.
I get bored easily but sometimes am afraid of change.
I love my puppy, Persay but don’t really love all the hair she sheds.
I love my work but I love my vacations!
I am a huge fan of nesting but think it would be super cool to travel the world.
I adore my husband but there are some things that I just don’t understand about men

Here are a few of my favorite images….

I love the one below because laughing is my favorite. There is something about laughing together that eases the soul. It’s right up there with spring blossoms.

I love this one more because I’ve been told the story behind the door. This is the door where the couple had their first kiss.

I can’t get over a serious face. Sarah is just stunning on this an

Passion. Enough said.

The different locations really fuel creativity and bring out the fashion vibe in me.

That’s a wrap!
Take a moment to stop by the Soul Mates Photo blog to see that I’m up to.
