New blog! Yea!

Hi everyone, it's me, Melissa! I wanted to share with you my new blog created by our freind the super talented Jeanine Linder. Once we had the logo, I was hooked! I wanted her to do the "whole package". Her "get me on the web" package is so reasonably priced, and perfect for a rookie like me who knows nothing about the world wide web. I love what she has done! Check it out here!

So now that I am "on the web" I have a question for you pro's...I do proofing/selling online, and I need a good shopping cart. Who do you use? I currently have one that is "free", but they take a HUGE percentage of the sale. Do any of you have any recommendations on a good shopping cart? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Hope you're all doing well! ♥ Melissa

Sun and Flare article

Hi Ladies,

It's Cama....hey I just read a great article on back lighting today on MCP and I wanted to share it with you. I paid a lot for Detra's lighting course to basically learn the same thing. :)



MCP Article on Aug. 24th

I hope you are all having a great summer! Thanks so much to so many of you who have been great blog fallowers! I am humbled by your sweet comments!!!

Big Hug to you all!!!

such a fun shoot

I've loved keeping up with your work! You all are amazing photographers... very inspiring!!!

I haven't had many shoots this summer (well, just one, but who's counting), so I thought I'd share this one of Brooks!

Working on it...

I'm finally posting something!!!! :)

So I'm working on the newly learned skills... I went to town on my first one, this little sweetie was so good for me! Can't wait to do more...

There's still alot I need to work on, I felt like the pics were too dark...what do you think? I did shoot manual, using my cameras meter for exposure. Does anyone use a "grey card" to get good WB? I noticed her skin color changed from shot to shot. These were shot next to a window on a very cloudy day. Any CC is welcome!

Newborn twins!

I got to have my first newborn twin session.  Ironically they were easier than any single newborn session I've head.  They were amazing.  Here's one and there are more on my blog.  Also, if anyone is on ILP and flickr, can you post your name so I can put you as a friend.  Thanks

I have a new blog!

I just went for it and got a new blog for photography!

It's still in the beginning stages and only has a few posts, but I've had fun figuring it all out.

Thanks for all the inspiration ... this group has been wonderful!

Inspired by Cama

I took to the outdoors. BUT we don't have a garage so I set up my portable back drop, tv gray and my big girl with the setting sun as side lighting. Pleasantly pleased.
