Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
If you knew me Freshman year of College, you would know my name was not Melissa. I was only referred to as ChristyAndMelissa. Yes, we were that inseparable. From goofing off in Mr Tucker’s Speech class to devouring late night pizza to go with our Goldschläger, We were two peas in a pod. We even promised we would be each others bridesmaids when we got married, I moved back to California the following year and our lives went separate ways. Thanks to the wonders of Facebook, we reconnected again recently. While, the bridesmaid promise didn’t work out, I’m happy to have a small part of her wedding day – the engagement photos!
I am so happy she has found Jason, I can just tell how great he treats her. I couldn’t be happier for the two of them!
I hope these images give you a peek of someone that was very special and made a large impact on my life. Her personality and enthusiasm is contagious.
