I’ve been looking forward to this session since I met Trae and Daniel at another wedding a year ago (was it longer than that Trae) The wedding is coming up so quickly and I cannot wait for that either. We had the most beautiful day and we started off right where Daniel planned on proposing. A really adorable little “village” in Northville
My Bean turned six just a few days ago, that and his first loose (and now lost) tooth. A couple pretty big milestones (who knew your kid losing a tooth could be so freaking exciting. But it WAS!) He let me take these on his actual birthday and didn’t give me too much grief about it either. He amazes me every day with how much fun he is to be around, how smart and funny he is. He makes me so proud, well proud isn’t exactly the right word. He makes me feel as if anything is possible and good will always triumph in the end… Happy Birthday Ares

I met Bridget O’Brian just a few months ago in the very middle of my busiest season ever and we talked about wanting to work together not only as vendors in weddings but as collaborators on some kind of project, her creations are so beautiful and the first time we met we talked for hours about the creative process, how our minds worked and what being an artist was all about. After a few more great conversations we decided to celebrate what we do and the seasons and so with the kind help of Makeup Artist Taryn Scalise and Hairdresser Katherine Reatzel as well as our beautiful bride to be Brooke we start with Winter.
We’ll be sharing more and you’ll be seeing it all very soon but I couldn’t help but throw up a sneak peak until then.

I remember when I first spoke to Danielle on the phone two years ago, more now? I had the pleasure of photographing her and Pat’s wedding and now I have had the great joy of shooting Danielle’s maternity photos and meeting and photographing their new bean, his first bathe and his first pile with his sister and brother, welcome Henry.

In October I was accepted by Magnum Photo to come to NYC and workshop for a week. I spent most of the time shooting in China Town.  New York City being separated by burroughs and regions is really interesting to me. China Town, whatever city you find it in, is like another world and I wanted to explore that. Here are a few images from the series, you can see more at: melissa squires photography : documentary
I want to thank Alessandra Sanguinetti for her insights, Magnum Photo and milk studio for being such gracious hosts.
