Love your new webpage!
Melissa, love the new look. Your work is always so stunning.
I feel so lucky to have had your talent on my wedding day.
As always you are one of my all time favorite photographers. You always inspire me to get out there and just shoot.
Hi there! I am way overdue for a photoshoot, especially since I’d like to include my assistant on my website, so I’d love to win! Love the new blog and that I’ve finally got to meet you recently!
I love seeing all your new posts to your blog and Facebook page. Would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win a photo shoot with you!!!! Awesome website.
Man I love this girl! She has an amazing talent and I don’t care if I win an iPad mini (it’d be nice. :P) But I just wanted to say how amazing Melissa is as a cousin and a friend! Keep it up lady!
LOVE your new website!!! Off to enter this contest in every other way possible!
Your new website looks amazing! So happy for you!
Great pictures!
Great pictures!
Looking forward to following you!!!
I love to skim the photos I see you post. Truly beautiful and sincere.
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO SHOWCASE YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BRAND!!!
Melissa:
As much as you love !!!, I love Lolololol. I went round John Robbins barn trying to post my comment(my 100 year old Grandma use to say that phrase “going round John Robbins barn”. lol Anybody out there know who the heck John Robbins was? lololol Ok, I will try and focus and comment as my ADHD is gripping me. lol I’m from the typewriter age, so I don’t facebook, or tweet, or twitter, and the only “pin” I do is with a needle (not on a computer screen) and I kept hitting the blog button to comment and then realized I needed to hit “add a comment” to post, so I am finally here, I think lol.
There aren’t enough adjectives to tell you what a beautiful person you are just from viewing your pictures. Even though we haven’t met yet, just emailed, I want to say I loved all your pics, but my favorite one that shouts your personality is you frolicking with the tigers….playful, adventurous, funny and maybe just a wee bit of good crazy. I love your new look and can’t wait to meet you in person. Renee, the roadrunnerrenee (my tattoo)
Absolutely love the new look of the blog, its seems to catch both your passions (travel and photography) beautifully. A superb site for a superb photographer!
