Here's the last of my California sessions on the beautiful beach of La Jolla. The first image is one of my favorites. I love the family in a tight embrace, sisters big smile and little brother staring out into the sea without a care in the world.

I could could get use to this. The sand, the surf, the smell, ahhhhhh. It's bliss.
Here's another 30 minutes of fun on the beach with a very special family. You see, their eldest son proposed to my eldest daughter last year. It's true 8 year old love!

Yes, it's been a while. I'm still in shock that it really July and my kiddos start school in 17 days! Melissa Jensen Photography has been busy moving and I am happy to announce that we now have a home in Chandler, AZ. I will continue providing on location sessions around the valley.
Last month I had an amazing experience photographing three families in San Diego. I know they are all dying to have a little peek at their session on the beach so here you go Taylors :)

As promised, a sneak peek for mom! I met this family at their home in Scottsdale for a few updated headshots of mom and family portraits that were long overdue.
Most of my work documents the milestones of childhood....a newborn baby baby, an exploring toddler, those big toothless smiles. While I was browsing this gallery, I realized what an important milestone this is for Thomas. He's entering high school next year and leaving childhood behind. Thanks for playing along Thomas! Your were great.

It's been a while....but I'm back!
Last week I met up with Hayley in Scottsdale. She is a senior at Thunderbird High School. She is stunning! High School Seniors are not my usual subjects to photograph, but I absolutely loved it! I'm looking forward to more. Here's a little sneak peek at outfit one :) It was great to meet you Hayley. You are amazing!

Baby Gavin is growing up! And his mommy and daddy are in LOVE with him! I'm extremely lucky to have met mom. She's my amazing massage therapist and works my stress out during this busy time of year :) Message me if your looking for one!

I first photographed this beautiful family four years ago, when Karsten was just a baby and Kennedy only three. Since then our families have become great friends. How time flies......

Meet baby Findley at only 5 days old. I loved everything about this session. It was hard to believe mom and dad were doing this for the first time. They were comfortable and confident, naturals. It's not normal for first time parents to catch poop, but dad wasn't afraid! Thanks for saving my camera, sorry about the computer :) Congratulations and thank you for having me capture this time for you.

These make me happy....
Because she has beautiful freckles.
Because his smile is contagious.
Because he let me take his picture for the first time EVER! And...they are cute.
Because he gave me that look.
Because that looks like fun!
