Behind the camera

Hi! I'm Melissa and I'm the photographer behind flying mermaid photography. I am a wife of an amazing man and the mother of an adorable little girl! I have always had a love for photography and pictures. When I was little I would take the disposable camera my mom would give me to take photos of dolls/family dog/siblings/friends. Then I got a digital camera from my parents and I was in heaven! Since then I just used a digital camera to capture events. I couldn't afford a nice camera, but then my sweet husband gave me a nice cannon DSLR camera that I love! Since then I have taken classes and experimented with my camera and have learned how to get my vision I see to be captured on my camera. I love to take pictures of moments, being a mom I know how fast they grow (especially that first year) and having pictures help me look back at those cherished moments I had with my sweet little baby. So much history can be recored in pictures taken throughout a lifetime. I love working with (kind) people and seeing how no matter how different we are we still love those close to us the same.
