  • 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.

our artists way

I’ve been really looking and contemplating what I want to do as a next step for meeting and working with clients.  I contemplated getting a studio or small space and hooking it up with all the accoutrement of a hipster photography studio and meeting clients there but it seemed not exactly right.  I wanted something more organic, something that had a bit of a life on it’s own, something to interact with.  I knew if I was patient and kept my eyes and my heart open something would happen, and it did.

This next month I’ll be signing a lease with three other artists, a sculptor, a poet, and a worker of textiles and glass.  I’m so excited to be part of a living group.  There will be a huge space, a gorgeous, comfortable meeting area, large work table and light light light, all right downtown Ann Arbor.  It’s going to take a bit to have it ready for use, the decorating will be some of the most fun! But I couldn’t help share the news here at the beginning.

Not sure we’ll get to keep the Piano :)  I’ll keep things updated here as we go :)

Lindsey - that is so awesome! when and if i can open a space, this is exactly what i want. A working space, i’m also a watercolor painter and would love a space for photography and painting. congrats! i’ve been looking at brickyard, and spur studio’s in ypsi.August 17, 2010 – 11:38 pm

tonya - I’m SO happy for you! Such a breathing, living space will only take you to new heights and amazing experiences.

I was close to a similar move but it’s still not the right time for the person I want to take that step with and so we wait (but that’s OK, she’s worth it.)

Congrats!July 30, 2010 – 12:59 am
