melissa jill - Hi "Anonymous"! Wow--very mysterious indeed. I actually like to try all sorts of different locations for engagement shoots. I try to get to know the couple and find out unique things about them and suggest places that reflect on them in some way. The most important things I look for when choosing a setting at different locations is good light and simple backgrounds. That's it!

Anonymous - Melissa: I LOVE your photos!! I've been looking through your blog for a while now and I wanted to ask you: What locations do you favor for an engagement or family shoot? Also, I'm not getting this cell phone - so this comment is a little off subject :->
