The Journal

The snow is falling…..so my computer is calling!

Hi, I'm Melissa, a photographer and brand content creator based in Wv. So glad you're here.

Trying to juggle life seems hard at times. Trying to juggle my kids, a business, and life in general gets a little daunting at times as well. My sweet littles just don’t understand mommy sometimes needs to take a few minutes and sit at my computer and work.  Actually as we speak my son is screaming because his sister took (mommy’s) pop away from him while he was drinking it……I mean really.

Anyways back to reality,  here in WV we are admist a huge -I mean ridiculously huge- snow storm. So as we all have cabin fever, I think it is a great time to catch up on my blog.

This is sweet Kayla. I did her senior photos which seems like yesterday! Shooting her and Colton brought back so many memories. My husband and I have such a similar “love” story it isn’t funny. These two make me miss the Marine Corps and all the memories Darrell and I got the privilege of sharing.

These photos were taken at Athena Farm & Vineyard. It is such a Magical Place! I miss the greenery and the beautiful flowers that bloom in the spring but in these photos you don’t even notice they aren’t there.  Your attention is on Kayla and Colton and what sweet love they have for one another. AND mind you, Colton is probably the easiest guy I have EVER shot! He didn’t fuss or fret one bit! Kayla must have him trained 😉 I look forward to seeing what their future has in store for them.

And as always lots of prayers for Colton as he is away in the Air Force.

 

 

I know not everyone is a fan of using a flag in photos, and it causes much controversy but here is my thought. “He loves his Country and he LOVES his Woman.” I mean who can argue with that 😉

Behind the Camera

MELISSA
KINCAID

I've always been drawn to things that feel timeless — beautiful in a way that doesn't fade. That's how I approach weddings, too.
I'm not just showing up to take photos. I'm paying attention to the moments as they're happening and capturing them in a way that feels real, natural, and true to you.
I've been doing this for over a decade, and what still drives me is the same thing that started it all — a genuine love for people and the stories they carry. My work has been featured in Magnolia Rouge, Cake & Lace, and other fine publications, but my favorite measure of success is still a bride who says she forgot I was even there.
Based in Charleston, West Virginia, I photograph weddings across WV, Virginia, and destinations worldwide — and I'd love to be part of yours.
