Dec 22 - Jan 12th CLOSED

~  READ on for MORE ~

Happy NEW Year to you all .... 
Where has the time gone, and at that the YEAR!  We here at "Photos by Mellissa Kay" are ready to take a break to spend time with our families.  We are also ready to make some changes to our web site, and studio interior for 2010. 
 
So , with that we are CLOSING the studio from Dec. 22nd till Jan 11th!  In the month of Jan. if you are already on the books for a session ... please call to resch. into Feb.  This is due to the construction we are trying to do in the studio. 
All these changes are to better serve our clients in the New Year! 
 
A new session schedule will be implemented for the winter of 2010,
Spring and then Summer. 

Keep checking our BLOG ... for we will have photo order specials coming up for
those last min. Senior photo purchase! 
 
Weddings for 2010 we are booking already, and we'll ONLY do one wedding a month!  So, far ... Feb, May June & July are already booked!  We will be at Kaposy's Bridal fair Jan 9th with our new wedding package information.  I will have staff on hand to answer any and all of your questions.  We will also be making appts. for those brides wishing to sign a contract to lock their wedding date on our books.
 
All in all it's just time we make some changes to our schedule and studio.  I have blinked and my children have grown in the past three yrs since opening my studio in WV.  I have been in business since 2004 .... but moving to WV in 2007 I have been bless and shocked at the response I have had!  I need to refocus my time to my children ... and slow down to enjoy them before they are too BIG! 
I know anyone who is a mother will agree and understand ...
 
Thank You to everyone for letting me make cherished memories for you. 
And I hope to be able to continue to do so in the years to come ...
 
May the Sprit of Christmas warm your Home and Heart, and may the New Year find you well ....
 
~ With Much Love ~

25 of the worlds Great Chefs cook Vegan ....
 
Ok ... those who know me well know I'm not one to boast ... but I have to for my Aunt's sake!!!!  It's about her new vegan cook book that she wrote and sold over 8000 copies in the second printing "Great Chefs Cook Vegan" by Linda Long.  She has a background of various career's in  academic, corporate, and media communities, with a strong emphasis in fashion, food and nutritional topics.  I had the honored and great pleasure over the years of working with her at the start of my photographic career both in N.Y.C and  in Europe.    With the start of her career over 40+ yrs ago mostly  in the world of fashion, we would attend runway shows with well known names; Vogue, Tommy Hill and Victoria Secret just to name a few.  This was such an awesome experience and opportunity to work with her.   Now, her career path is pointed strongly in the nutritional field,  I've once again been honored to work with her!   We've spent many hours on the phone and I've made trips to N.Y.C. to assist her with perfecting her book.   The old saying, "Two heads are better than one"!  She has photographed and worked with 25 of the worlds greatest chefs in creating this book.  All foods are plant based and I have to say, " anyone will drool over the likes of these dishes"!   Some of the chefs that share their plant based recipes are Todd English, Josef Huber, Erik Blauberg, David Burke, John Besh, Thomas Keller & Charlie Trotter just to name a few.   She has scheduled book signing dates and I'm waiting to hear that Food Network and Dr. Oz from Oprah have called her to come on their shows ... so stay tuned and trust me if I can I'll be right there with her!!!!!  Check it out I'm on the Acknowledgments Page 7
 LOVE YA LOTS AUNT LINDA ...
 
Here are some of the reviews .....
 
Linda Long's fabulous new book shatters the myth that vegan food is boring and lacks flavor. One look through the colorful, beautiful pages of Great Chefs Cook Vegan will give this exciting cuisine the credit it so truly deserves.
 
 
Linda Long's photography is drop-dead-gorgeous,
and she has assembled an array of healthful,
delicious,and reliable recipes which define vegan
cooking as an obtainable art form. For those
less talented than Cat Cora and other remarkable
chefs whose inspiring recipes fill the cookbook,
Great Chefs Cook Vegan allows us to broaden our horizons
while being respectful of all the earth's
inhabitants. Buy two of these cookbooks and save
one for a friend.
