Mya Jumping across a creekMya on BridgeAbove: I love Mya’s stance on the little bridge. Isn’t she standing like a little dancer?! Love that back leg. So poised.

Mya diptych (hair blowing)

Her eyes are such a beautiful, unique color. Not quite fully blue, but almost.

Mya diptych portrait (curly hair)Love those pretty curls of hers! They look like ribbons.

Mya Dancing, triptych

Ah, the lil’ dancer. These were spontaneous, but I’ll definitely have to re-shoot her twirling in an environment that’s not so busy.

— Such a cutie. —Mya (close-up, grey backdrop)

Lights at Night

Filed under: Personal — Tags: , , , , , — Melinda @ 4:59 pm

Like many creatives, sometimes I get burnt out on photographing the same thing. It’s good to just play and recharge. The following is just that. Playing. This is a continuing series that started one night on the island of Oahu in 2008. The images watermarked with “Holland” were taken by either me or Jon. Can’t remember. The ones marked “Melinda Holland” are definitely mine.

I really like the following shot. Wish I could definitely take credit for it. But for some reason, I really think this one is Jon’s. Beautiful. Looks like an abstract landscape painting.

Chas & Rachel 9/25/2010 – Destin, FL

Filed under: People,Personal,Portraits — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — Melinda @ 2:15 am

Was out of town for two and a half weeks visiting a myriad of people and places, setting foot in 5 different states and experiencing places I’d never been before like Nashville, Atlanta and cute ‘lil Chattanooga, TN. As I said in an earlier post, September was a busy month. Part of that busyness involved celebrating my brother-in-law Chas’ beach-side wedding in Florida. I took some photos for fun and these are just a small selection of my favorites.

Really love Rachel’s hair in these two photos. It looks elegant and classic. Perfect with the sepia toning.Chas & Rachel (sepia)Chas & Rachel, wedding portrait

Below: Grabbed the rings for some quick close-ups during the reception.

Saw the flower girl getting her feet wet while everyone else was milling around after the ceremony. It was so lovely I had to snap it.
