• 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.

Thank you for letting me celebrate that love.

my here today

I have something that I didn’t expect to happen in my lifetime, I have a family, extended and enlivened by those around us, that makes me feel like the most special woman in the world and I get to do what I love, with friends who support me and peers who enrich me. I...
