In 2011 and then again in 2012, our family was faced with two road blocks that would forever change life as we had once known it. It's funny how it takes a tragedy to open your eyes and make you reevaluate where you've been and where you're going. In one of my self pity moments I was looking around at the photos I'd taken over the years and then I focused on the family portraits, or lack of I shou
ld say. Somewhere along the way I'd let frugalness take over in place of memories; lost memories that can never be recaptured. Lost opportunities to leave our story behind.... In a frenzy to right a wrong, I broke out the camera and started capturing as many memories as possible. And that's when it hit me... How many more people were out there just like me?! How many HS Seniors who would never have senior portraits, how many new parents losing out on newborn portraits because prices were beyond what they could afford? What if I could provide others the opportunity to have quality photo shoots and prints in a price range and payment plan they could afford? If I could do that, chances are they would be able to create more memories and more than once every 5 or 10 years! But not just memories, but stories... Because with my pictures, I'm not just point and clicking - I am telling a story thru my eyes and thru my skills. I am telling your story and it starts with 'Once Upon A Tyme..' Melissa
