Nature Photography

Although I have a great desire to capture the essence of people, I also love to photograph nature. I think that is my first love. Here are some of my favorites.

Family

I love photographing family. I can usually capture moments they don't know are being recorded, so it makes for  a real sense of spontaneity and candidness. While others are posed, they are willing participants which makes for some great photography as well.

The "C" Family

I've known mama C for quite a few years now. I was excited to have to pleasure of photographing her beautiful family on location at a nearby state park. The day turned out beautiful and the scenery blessed us with great back drops as you can see. Although it was warm, the shade of the forest eased its sting.

Melissa Morral Photography

I've been doing photography since high school, but I've been doing portrait photography for five years. I've always loved capturing the essence of a person in a single moment in time, and I believe the perfect shot can tell the viewer so much about the character, personality, and life story of the subject. The pictures below are of my son, Derek who was my miracle child. He was only 1 lb 8.4 oz. at birth because has born 12 weeks early. On other posts you'll see some other great people of my life. Enjoy the sample photographs I've included, and be sure to let me know what you really like. It is how I improve myself as a photographer.
