This whole beautiful adventure started with a wonderful husband, Jason, who didn’t laugh when I shared what I’d like to do…and then continues to do everything he can to help.

Then, there’s the biggest cheerleaders of my life, my parents.  (I’ll stop abruptly short since we have an unspoken understanding that words completely fail to articulate their unending love).

And to my grandmothers, thank you for inspiring me with your artistic pursuits – and thank you for endless markers and paper, clay to build little villages with at Christmastime and bringing me along on your travels around the world.

To great clients who become wonderful friends – thank you for inviting me into your life and allowing me to share the joys of bringing home a baby, a child who just learned to ride their bike, before you lost a beloved pet, or your exquisite wedding day.  My life feels so full because I must see more than ten times the amount of love & happiness that most do.

With gratitude, we express thanks to the businesses we work and partner with – our great photo lab, talented designers and exquisite album companies, area local businesses…we’re endlessly thankful for your attention to detail & quality.

To Katrina, Kalie, Katie & Ashleigh – with a business done right, you can create a sort of utopia and I’m so happy we do this *together*.

Thank you to everyone who bought from my lemonade stand as a child and made me believe I could create my own happy job. Thank you, thank you, thank you! xoxo, -melanie-

Evermore thanks. [ William Shakespeare ]
