Lacey an amazing mother of 2 great boys and supportive wife to a strong and loving husband.  During our time together I learned more about a woman that I thought I knew for many years. In our chats, she felt comfortable to share with me about how things have been for her family. Some people may concentrate on the ups and downs as just that, but something I learned from this amazing woman is positivity can be seen in every experience . This family is a great asset to our community and I am so proud to call them friends.

"Dear Melanie Eckel Photography and Michelle Lynn

I just wanted to pop a little note up for you two wonderful ladies
When I first contacted Mae about the photo session she was offering I was nervous NOT going to lie. After all I had just lost 40+ lbs and was not quite comfortable in my new body yet. As the day approached I started panicking about my outfits, how could I possibly choose?? I eventually did, had my fresh clothes hung and ready to rock!
The day of I drove out to the studio, sat in the car an extra minimum trying to not be a sweaty nervous mess, grabbed my composure and walked to the door. There I was met by Melanie, her vibe INSTANTLY came to me with so much excitement, she was as excited and nervous as I! This is good I can do this! She offered me a coffee and we got straight to work! She showed me around her studio and just a few minutes later out make up artist showed up, Michelle Lynn, this was my first time ever meeting her and my FIRST time ever having my makeup done professionally, hell it was my first photo session! Michelle got right to work doing her magic, about 25-30 minutes later they let me look in a mirror, OH MY GOODNESS. I couldn't believe the transformation, I never ever wore concealer and there I was ROCKING it! Next Melanie did my hair in curls, my hair is stick straight, these curls were so beautiful and natural I considered learning how to curl it on my own lol!! It was now picture time, during the shoot we tried so many different poses, different lighting, and of course different outfits. During the shoot i felt so empowered, beautiful and most of all worthy! My entire week went on like this, once the sneak peak was up online the feedback I got was so wonderful and it continues the feeling of empowerment. This is the highlight of my year thus far, so thank you Melanie and Michelle for the wonderful empowering experience
