Profile
Melissa is my name and Photography is my game!
My tools of the trade are Nikon D5000 with 18-55 VR lens and Gemini telephoto lens, with bunch of various filters. I also carry my little Nikon S4 around.
Photography has been a huge passion of mine ever since I recieved my first camera when I was a little kid. Many cameras and thousands of pictures later, here I am, ready to make my mark in this world.
Most of my pictures are untouched and straight out of the camera with no post-production done whatsoever, unless stated in the description as cropping, color adjustments and such. I also create digital and fractal artworks. I’m a bit hooked on the macro world.
I’m also a mother to 2 precious children under the age of 5, so my time of playing online and shooting photography is somewhat limited at this time. lol.
I invite you to browse through my gallery and thank you for taking the time to view my pictures.
Comments are always welcomed and appreciated. And many thanks to those who have left comments.
Custom made calendar on request: just BM me with images for each month and I’ll make the calendar up for you. Also custom made greetings cards on request: BM me with quotes, texts, or verses on specific images and I’ll set it up for you.
I must put this disclaimer on here- None of my images belong to the public domain. All images are copyright protected to Melissa Ritchey which is my name. My photos are not to be copied, saved, used and/or distributed in any way shape or form without my written consent/permission.
