A Beautiful Day in the Country!

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!  We did!  Now it’s on to making 2013 amazing!! I’d like to share a recent session I shot.  We’ve all been friends since high school.  Our husbands even worked together at the local grocery store back then.  You know it’s pretty incredible to stay close with […]

Long Time Friends!

So, I’ve been on a bit of a quest lately to find out my style of photography.  What I’m realizing is I LOVE to capture “real” moments, hence the name Captured Moments by Mel.  It’s been right in front of me the whole time.  So as I was doing what another photographer, Brooke Snow, suggested, […]

A Day at the Beach!!

Just wanted to share these photos from a session I had last week.  I’ve known this little gal for quite a few years now.  In the beginning she was very quiet and stuck very close to mom.  Let me tell you during this session, that all has changed!!!  She was so full of life and […]

Late Afternoon Fun!

This year has been flying by so incredibly fast.  Halloween is almost upon us, and I realized we hadn’t done anything for the holiday other than buying costumes.  We decided to take a much needed excursion to Lombardi Ranch and visit the Pumpkin Patch.  It was a  perfect way to spend a Fall Sunday morning! […]

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Well, we are in soccer season again.  This year we have bumped up a level.    It involves more practices, longer games, and hopefully the playoffs!!!   My  girl has decided that she is playing soccer from now on, which is fine by  me.  Maybe she’ll get a scholarship to help pay for college.  That […]

It’s All About the Soccer!!!!

Recently I did a photo shoot of something out of the ordinary for me.   A new friend of mine creates shadow boxes.  Now this is a term that I honestly hadn’t heard since I was younger.  I was excited to see what she had created.  When she first contacted me, she had 4 of […]

“Hand in Hand” by Papier et Fleur

Hey hey hey!! So I have a friend that creates these AMAZING textures for photo editing.  On top of that she uses them to create beautiful works of art!   (I’ll list her Facebook info below.)  I finally broke down and bought some.  Thought I’d give it a try so,  I’ve played with them a […]

Textures! Have You Tried Them?

This morning I finally finished my first photo blog post.   A problem arose while working on it that I hadn’t experienced until recently.  I’ve been uploading images to the web for a while now.  Never had any problem with color changes.  When I uploaded my images to put in my post, the color turned […]

Does Your Image Change Color When It’s Uploaded to the Web?

Hello to everyone! If you are a current subscriber to my old blog, you might be thinking “her husband’s headshots again?  Really?”  And that’s okay. 🙂  There is a point to my repetition.  One of husband’s hats is actor, so I’ve taken his headshots quite a few times.  Something always bothered me.  They didn’t quite […]
