Marisa.

Like always, I blogged too many.🥴 The only reason I actually stopped shooting was because it was dark, or else I would have kept going! 😆

This is me all winter long when the sun decides to shine. I just stand at my door like this probably causing concern for my neighbors. 🤣 BUT I feel the warmth of this image deep in my bones. That sunshine can truly shift your entire day.

She felt it too. 😍 That absorption into the skin, sending waves of calmness to your soul. Ahhh. I mean, really. This is why this image looks like a commercial for Cymbalta. 🤣 Makes me actually take a deep breath and drop my shoulders down and back!

So stinkin stunning!

DAYUUUM. GET.IT.GIRL. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This almost makes me want to stop snacking on the donuts I was just enjoying.

Gorgeous!!

Her Dad showed up and stood there proudly with Mom gazing at this beauty. I said to look over at them and she laughed as saw their expressions of wonderment.

Dad rolled up in this mustang and offered it to us! Well, absolutely, I’m going to use it with this babe!😍

I feel like you have to have a shot of little Marisa with this car somewhere! All grown up behind that wheel!!

Nori facetimed me for the 3rd time in a row in the middle of shooting, so I answered with the camera pointed at Marisa in the field. Nori gasped and was like, “OH MY GOSH MOM SHES SOOOOO PRETTY!!!!” I know right? Then when I got home she reiterated her beauty and she couldn’t wait to see the images. 😍 Well, she was thrilled with them!

Those brown tones with her skin, hat and hair! Perfection.

That eye roll is so convincing it’s almost like she does it all the time. 😆

We had finished and I was sad that I didn’t get a pretty sunset because of clouds, as this is my favorite reason to shoot at this location. I was facing East and just chatting details of whats next with them and their eyes started to get big and light up. Look behind you! The sky is still turning! So I waited a minute and sure enough, we got a pretty lit up sky!

Sky was on fire! 🔥

It was such a pleasure to meet and work with you. I know I have a wonderful client/friend base out in Harrison and I love you all for it! Thanks for making my job so easy and fun that night! Good luck with your next adventure! Heart, Melanie
