This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Fall is just around the corner and you know what that means.
The anticipation of carving pumpkins, picking apples, sipping cider, football, field hockey and fun, sitting around the campfire, magnificent foliage, sweet seasonal memories, All Hallow’s Eve…and, most importantly, family photos.
To celebrate our favorite time of year here (at AroundMainLine.com) we are giving away a free family portrait session with Montgomery County’s talented Melissa Kelly Photography.
The Lansdale, PA resident focuses on weddings, portraits, higher education/private education, pet photography and more. Melissa describes her photography philosophy: “I aim for images that feel natural and somewhat candid; images should illustrate family connections and relationships, show us our best selves, that we love and are loved.”
Get to know Melissa Kelly Photography with AroundMainLine.com.
AroundMainLine.com: What make Melissa Kelly photography unique?
Melissa Kelly Photography: I pride myself in my commitment to customer service, not taking myself too seriously—being vulnerable with my clients means they can be vulnerable with me and yields better portraits. Relationships relate to a successful shoot.
AML: What do you love the most about being a photographer?
MKP: Connecting with people and being invited into their lives on the most important days of their lives! Creating heirlooms for families to treasure for generations is the best part of my ‘job.’
AML: What can clients expect with you?
MKP: Full service boutique photography. Fun, natural images that are both modern and timeless…high quality photos and personal service. I have a lifelong commitment to my valuable clients and I think it shows in my work.
AML: How about fall? What makes family fall portraits fun?
MKP: Fall is such an energizing time! It’s the start of a new school year, a new season of beginnings and the crisp air marks the change of the seasons…a time of reflection and anticipation of the coming year. It’s the ‘gap’ between summer vacation and the winter holidays that sets the foundation for family and good coffee and, let’s face it, fun scarves!
