Though now stationed behind the camera, Melissa Jewel's fascination with photography began in front of the lens. Drawing on her posing experience, the former model strives to maintain a laid-back atmosphere during every shoot. To help achieve this, Melissa hosts sessions snaps a mixture of posed and candid pictures at comfortable locations, which can range from a family's favorite park to her own professional photography studio. In addition to family and boudoir portraits, Melissa accommodates pets, couples, expectant moms, and newborns, whom she photographs when they're eight-weeks old, five- to eight-months old, and one-years old. All of her sessions result in CDs full of edited images, all of which include full printing rights.
