• 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.

    Booking weddings now for November and December 2010 and into 2011

OneLight Detroit

I just hosted two full days of Zack Arias’s OneLight workshop and it was the most wonderful experience. I met so many amazing people and was totally gobsmacked by the amount of sharing and learning that was done.

How cool is this, it was taken outside an abandoned building, after 1am in the morning in total darkness!

hee hee using my hand as a light meter! Zack is setting up a shot in the background with Becky.

Here is a shot of Becky without off camera lighting (gorgeous)

Zack rocking all kinds of light!

One of my most favorite shots from the day how cool is this (and it was LATE!!)

Thank you Zack for being a great artist and sharing so much and thank you everyone who attended – wow so many new friends and thank you so much Becky, Betty and Kyle for making it a joy to shoot!

Keep in touch everyone!
