  • Welcome to my here today

    My name is Melissa Squires.. What I do is to capture frames of you that show your real true inner shining rock star self. It isn’t about being someone else, dressing some certain way and you don't need any secret sauce, you are what makes YOU and wonderful and interesting and special. My images reflect the beauty, joy, and inner soul of my subjects, and the moments they inhabit.. these images are forever.

    Photography is how I express myself, how I see, how I celebrate who we are today.

    My son is my breath and my husband is my life. I will be quite satisfied when I am 80 if I have loved them well and taken some amazing photographs along the way.

can’t see past my crooked nose

Sometimes I have days when I seriously think that everything and everyone is rotten.. well everything about me is anyway and then of course with that mind set turned inward I let me harass myself for perhaps longer then is good or necessary.

There is an artist, Susan Mrosek who has the most amazing pieces, they are available in cards (I have one at my desk framed) and posters. Anyway there isn’t much that can lift one of my funks but her cards sometimes help just a bit, and even if they don’t lift the funk, they have the ability to make me look a bit outside of my own head and see things with less doom and a bit more whimsy, as it should be.

Today I think this card fits my black mood, and it does make me feel as if at least if I am horrid perhaps being imperfect isn’t the most horrid thing that could be. Please go check out her work at:

the Pondering Pool it’s wonderful even, maybe especially, when you aren’t

hailey - oh i know that sort of feeling and day!! love the illustration will go check it out!!

tonya - aren’t we each the sum of our parts, crooked noses and all? so maybe some of your not-so-favorite parts are more visible for a bit, but thats OK, they deserve some time in the sunshine too.
