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

Guess who is bringing Christmas trees, mistletoe & gifts back? This girl. Along with nostalgia over those beautiful white layers of fluff conspicuously missing from the landscape? Bringing it all back to you today. What is better than a little Friday eye candy?

Winter Wonderland of Love, a styled shoot.  A shoot I’m incredibly proud of for multiple reasons, one being this shoot was photographed using 100% film. But secondly is that the gorgeous styling was the pure brain child of one of my dearest & most talented friends, Faith Brue, who’s stunning fashion views for this shoot equaled sequins, J.Crew plaid, Minnetonka Moccasins, and vintage fur. Right? I know.

And even more HUGE sparkly, heartfelt thanks is owed to the beautiful real-life couple, Julia & Kye Samuelson who certainly know how to make this photographer one happy girl.

Styling: Faith Brue
Hair & Make-up: emily j. hair & makeup
Assistant: Monika Hubka
Special thanks to my local favorite Parc Boutique for lending fashion & accessory pieces for the shoot!

And MORE huge sparkly, heartfelt thanks are owed to my friends at Minnesota Bride for their kind words when they published this shoot pre-Christmas.
