Melissa’s Session with the McDowells!

Some of you know this already, but business has been booming!!!  And I’m so grateful & excited about the evolution of LPP!  So this year, I’ve brought on 2 associate photographers, one for portraits and one for weddings.  And I have plans for more! Very exciting!

Melissa Gray has taken on the role of associate photographer on the portrait side, and she is such a wonderful addition to the team!  Melissa has been photographing children and families for the past 2 years, and is currently pursuing her undergraduate degree at San FranciscoStateUniversity, with a major in Photography and Fine Arts.  Melissa has been working as an editing assistant, as well as assisting on weddings with me for the past year, and she is a perfect match for the style and approach to family photography that I love.  She’s engaging, thoughtful and artistic, with a warm and fun demeanor.  She puts people of all ages at ease, allowing everyone to photograph at in a comfortable and natural manner.

Melissa’s session with the McDowell’s was so fun to edit!  Ryan is such a beautiful and fun little guy!  Check out some of these faves:

I love this shot of Ryan and his mom.  You can just see how much he absolutely adores his mama.  Sooooo sweet!

What a beautiful family!

I think Melissa did a fabulous job of capturing the joy and fun in the McDowell family!  View their slideshow here.

Thanks Melissa and thank you McDowells for the opportunity to photograph your beautiful family!
