Best of 2010- Babies and Bellies

2010 was an AMAZING year for me and I am so thankful to have photographed some of these wonderful babies and bellies.













365 Project-Day 1

For the last few years I have seen many people participate in the 365 project and thanks to my friend Jody I have decided to give it a try. What is the 365 Project? You basically take a photo a day for one year. It is a great way to improve your photography skills, get inspired and so fun to look back on!
So day 1 is titled- Something Old
This is basically some of my old items I have collected and placed in my home office. This is taken with just the light from my lamp. Still trying to decide if I want to fill the frames with pictures.
Cheers to a new year!

Giving is Awesome 2010

You know someone. You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family's spirit, love, and beauty.


You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography -- $1500 worth, to be exact.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $200 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Columbus,Ohio. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : melissa@melissajonesphotography.com.

The winner will be announced on 1/4/2011 -- get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
