Love is Everything to Me.

Hello! I am so excited you are here!

If you are curious as to who I am, the short version is this: my great loves in life are my devastatingly handsome & witty husband, my cuddly dog Gunnar, the perfect (if not elusive) iTunes playlist, J.Crew, sarcasm, exclamation points and above all God.

If you want to know a little more about me or ask how to say my incredibly German last name, click on the Hello tab above or feel free to send me an email with questions, virtual hugs or professions of your undying love (I don't judge). I would love to hear from you.

i’m yours, melissa

I photographed a beautiful wedding on a boat and wanted to live and breathe the anchor carpet. (Yes, I just said I wanted to breathe carpet. Someone please give me a nautical intervention.) I snuggled with the pup. I – somehow – managed to plan, DIY and (with a LOT of help) execute the most wonderful dinner party on a rooftop with some of our closest friends in honor of Matt’s 30th birthday. I am now taking RSVPs for his 60th birthday which will be the next time I throw a party. I put a striped shirt on Gunnar. That photo did not make the cut. My office showed the effects of wedding season. (And if I am being truthful, so does the rest of my house but the 3 loads of laundry that are sitting on my dining room table don’t exactly make pretty photos. #realife) I wore polka dots. Shocking, I know. I reveled in the fact that every week of this summer has been better than the week before. And that is a huge blessing.
