Melissa + Mike

Melissa + Mike are the kind of clients photographers dream of. Always cheery, always kind, and their default response to my asking whether they felt comfortable doing something was, “Whatever you think – you’re the photographer.” Seriously, I could kiss my computer screen just typing those words…

Sigh… now that I’m feeling all dreamy, let me sing the praises of my fantastic clients yet again – you see, I’m a dummy and suggested we meet at a park for our session. I pulled up to the place about 20 minutes before our scheduled meeting time just because that’s how far in advance I have to arrive to make sure I’m not late. You see, I’m one of those people who thinks 20 minutes late is “on time”, so I have to over-correct when it comes time to meet up with clients… Anywho, I TRY to pull into the park, but it’s straight up CLOSED. Like, you can’t even pull your car the parking lot closed. So, I called Melissa + Mike in a mild state of panic and they graciously agreed to meet me at a wild-card location that neither of us had ever been to. Thank tiny little baby Jesus laying in a manger that my beloved iPhone has a google maps app. I could kiss that thing. The three of us hopped around a little city park and avoided getting too muddy and managed to capture a little happiness and love, don’t you think?

Eden Scharer - I know Breena Holt and came across your website while looking thorugh her pictures on facebook and I LOVE all of these pictures! This is what I want to do when I’m older and I’m looking at buying an SLR camera and was wondering what kind you used?

Kelly - Hey Eden! Thanks so much for your friendly words! Being a photographer is a lot of work, but it’s also super fun! I use a Canon 5D, which is pretty expensive, but Canon also makes a 50D which is a great choice if you’re just starting out. I’d suggest buying the 50mm f/1.8 and the 35mm f/2.0! Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with as you start your journey. ;)

Melissa - As a participant in this session I will tell you that even during the shoot I knew our pics were going to turn out great :) Kelly – you are amazing to work with! Thanks for making it so easy and fun! Gail – yes he does have gorgeous eyelashes! Here’s hoping our kids take after him in that regard!
