Melissa Jane Photography Let me frame your memories. MxMJ was started because of my passion for capturing true moments.

Passion is what started my journey, but dedication is what has kept me going. I am dedicated to providing a comfortable and natural environment for my clients to capture intimate moments that are candid. I am dedicated to providing high quality images that will be cherished for generations. As a client, you will receive images that reflect your connection with your loved ones and after the session

is finished you will continued to be a valued client. Customer service is what helps set my business aside from the others.

Ok, last night was my last very last session and it couldn’t have been a better finale to my career. Seniors will always hold a special place in my heart Tara Wise 🥰

*LONG & BITTERSWEET ANNOUNCEMENT* First of all, I’m having an anxiety attack typing this out, but also feel a sense of relief because it has been weighing on me for some time. All good things must come to an end 🥺. Over 8 years ago I started this photography journey and if you would have told me that I’d eventually do every type of session under the sun, travel to beautiful places to shoot weddings, have a full studio/office and cultivate a skill set to become a local well-known senior portrait photographer I would have laughed. I’m proud of what has been accomplished and proud of my drive/ambition that took a $250 canon rebel back in 2013 and turned it into this. I’m grateful for all of the families that invited me to capture a part of their lives and the opportunities it has given me. Over the past year I really struggled with trying to grow and move my photography in a different direction, but when it came down to it, I just didn’t have the time to invest putting the changes in motion. Ultimately, I realized that my focus and priorities had shifted to my two businesses and and, of course, my kids (y’all, 2 kids in competitive sports is a full time job in itself 🥵). I looked to the future and couldn’t envision having any time for photo sessions on top of all the other things going on in my life, plus wanting to ENJOY life! This is such a drawn out post, but I wanted to get it out in the open. Several people have inquired about last minute fall photos and when I tell them I’m all booked up for the remainder of the year I felt guilty when they asked, “ok what about spring?” because in my heart I knew, Melissa Jane Photography wouldn’t be here anymore. So there it is, I am hanging up the camera {professionally} and this page will now be my personal social media. I’d love for you to stay, but since it won’t be photo based I’ll understand if you leave. Much love ❤️ to every single one of you who supported me, my business and my family for the last 8 years 🥂 photo cred

You’ll never regret jumping in the photos with your kids. I dare you to find me someone with grown kids who has ever said, “ugh, I hate that I’m in pictures with my babies”. 🧐 I’ll wait. Soon these moments will be memories and it’s important to capture every season of motherhood ❤️

Baby Merlin has been wished for prayed about and dreamed of for several years. To see Sarah and Daniel finally holding their little miracle is probably one of the most amazing things I’ve ever witnessed. A true honor to capture 🥺 Welcome to parenthood, you too 🥂. Buckle in, it’s a fun ride ❤️

You know when your mind is distracted while you’re driving and you honestly don’t remember where you parked or how you even got home? That was me last week 😂 it was such a blur of back to back sessions from bo***ir to newborn to families - that I truly can’t remember a damn thing. I’m just sitting here thinking oh wow, a whole week passed and I don’t recall even taking a shower (kidding, of course). Reschedules from October are almost complete ✔️ 👏. Loved spending last night with this family!

November is better than October. There, I said it. Hands down, every year, November is a way better photo op month 🤷🏼‍♀️ A gorgeous sunny evening with this gorgeous family was totally worth me running out of gas on the way🤦🏼‍♀️😂🙈.

It’s officially mandatory to do a solo portrait sesh celebrating your birthday 🥳. We had this planned for LAST fall, but you know, everything was at a standstill. Regardless, rocked these dresses so it kinda worked out for the best! 👏

I shared a little in my stories about overbooking for Fall and some people have said they have to because it’s their only income or that it’s the best time of year to shoot. I totally get it - you have to feed your kids and it’s better than sweating in 100degrees summer heat. But I’m a firm believer that if you’re overbooked, you’re over worked and that’s never good for you or your clients. Balance and boundaries have made my life way less stressful (in every way, not just photography). Just good for thought 😘PS You know it’s a good dilemma when you have to choose between posting your fave horizontal and vertical shots. 🤷🏼‍♀️
