Introduction	I have had a camera in my hand since I was 8. It was a Brownie then and it's a Nikon now, but you get the idea. I've always had an appreciation for photography but it wasn't until I became educated in it that I truly understood. Photography is literally drawing with light. I became keenly aware of this principle, and addicted to it, working in the darkroom. The first time you see the image appear on the blank paper floating in the solution is awesomely incredible. I miss my darkroom days, but for something's lost something is gained. Coming out of the darkroom and into the light allows much more time for shooting and capturing those fast moving moments. Please take a look around. I have a variety of work in my portfolio, not all shown here of course. For instance, I have exhibited and sold my landscape images in major art shows near my Florida home. Many of those can be viewed on my Facebook page-www.facebook.com/melissashontzphotography My specialty remains working with people of all ages capturing their life, their events and their unforgettable moments. I work with clients in both Orlando, Fl and Pittsburgh, PA. I hope you will consider me for your photography needs.
