Hello, I am so glad you're here! My name is Melissa and I am thrilled to be your photographer. I'm super passionate about making memories and telling stories through imagery. I crave the sound of the shutter. I thirst for the colors of Spring and Fall, but also find peace in muted calmness of winter. Aside from photography, I also offer brand consulting. Do you need graphics or a style guide for your blooming business?

Can we talk about how bittersweet it is to see your kids all grown up and ready to take on the world? This goes out to my God-daughter and bestie girl Brielle! Your family and I can not thank God enough for the gift that is you! You are so caring, hard-working and smart, not to mention breathtakingly beautiful, Brielle. We are so proud of the woman you've become!

Come spend a morning at with us! Such a wonderful gem to have right here in ! We went on a scavenger hunt, got to see all of the native animals, played pretend pioneers, and the kids get to help feed the fish every Friday morning! Once the school field trips left, Miss Shelly even let us help water the snake and turtle! We had a wonderful morning and can't wait to go back and visit!

Merry Christmas from Lifeshots!

Luke 2:10-14 || But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for I bring you good news of great joy for all the people. For this day in the city of David there has been born to you a Savior who is Christ, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to all those on whom his favor rests.”

Love grows best in houses just like this. // Doug Stone

Ya know, that really is the truth. Love grows best where roots are planted. Love grows best in houses where Mom kisses boo-boos and has lost count of scraped knees. Love grows best in houses where Dad planted that row of trees that provides shade for the boys to play catch in the yard. Love grows best in houses where dinners are eaten together around the table, and answered bedtime prayers turn into precious memories.

Let's take more photos at your house.

*thank you, Burnett family, for having me over to shoot these sweet photos*
