A Thank You goes a long way! | Melody White Studios

I just have to share something that’s been on my mind lately.  I feel like in this super competitive world of photography, there needs to be more thank you’s.  Every photography started out wanting to learn and know more about their craft, and looking for someone to answer their questions and help.  We all have our little secret ways of editing, and ways of using our camera, and some seasoned photographers(and thank GOD for them) are willing to share to make others become better.  So I guess that is my long lead in to  wanting to thank Michelle Kane, who has been such a wonderful mentor and sincere friend to me.  I only met her five months ago, when I found her blog post about a preschool session(I was about to photograph 60 preschoolers)and  I contacted her…. and the rest is history.  Her Wine Country Workshop is going to be a smashing success here in Sonoma County, and I do not tell her thank you enough for all that she has done for me professionally and personally!  You ROCK Michelle, and I can not wait until June to see you again!

A Natural Beauty| Santa Rosa Senior Photographer

I had a blast working with this photogenic senior from Ukiah!  Lydia is off to UC Davis in the fall, and she has such an incredible future in front of her.  My impression after spending some time with Lydia is that her work ethic could put me to shame on and off the soccer field.  She seriously was such a natural in front of the camera, and a true sweet soul.  Not to be too superficial or anything, but her hair was to DIE for, and that is her NATURAL color too!(jealous yet?)  Good luck Lydia and keep in touch!

“L” is for LOVE | Santa Rosa Engagement Photographer

This was such a FUN session!  Ashley and David have been together for ten years and can you believe that they have very few photos of them together in the same picture?  Well we are going to change that.  They were just so sweet and silly together, and were still very in love after all these years.  I am excited for their June wedding and after the wedding day, they will have more pictures of them together then ever before.  I can’t wait!  Enjoy these for now….

A picture is worth a thousand words | Mendocino Family Photographer

We have all heard that, right?  A picture is worth a thousand words, but most of us would probably agree a picture is truly priceless.  This family called me about 3 weeks ago and recited to me one of my biggest fears.  In a world of technology and where we depend on computers so much, they had LOST ALL…ALL their photos and did not have any back up plan for storing them.  One word-  Heartbreaking.  As I was listening to their story, I couldn’t help but think back to when I was a young girl and our house burned down, and all was lost.  But do you know what I miss most still to this day?  The photos.  The photos were the most important thing that will never be replaced.  I am so happy I could be the one to get on record some photos for this wonderful family, especially before their baby girl is all grown up.

This was the VERY last shot of the day and I just LOVE everything about it….

Can you just feel the love? | Melody White Studios

What a privilege it was to be apart of this intimate wedding at the beautiful John Ash.  It was just Clint, Sarah, and their proud parents.  Clint is in the reserves and Sarah is a school teacher and together they make the most in love couple I have seen in while.  They met two years ago at the local junior college and Clint knew the moment they met that she was going to be the women he would marry someday.  One of things that I love about my job(if you can even call it that) is being a part of these once in a lifetime moments.  Thank you Clint and Sarah for letting me be there to witness your special day.

I just LOVE this first shot…
