About Mels Photos

Hello, I'm Melanie Rodriguez, my friends call me Mel. I had a passion for photography at a young age. I was always the one behind the camera at family events and anytime I could be out and about shooting images. I finally got to a point in my life I was able to start turning my passion into a real focus in my life. I could have easily done what some photographers do, self train and start a business on a fly by night whim. Unlike those photographers, I don't believe in doing anything half way. So I set out to complete a Bachelors in Photography at the University of Central Missouri and will be graduating Dec. 2011. Just as I put the effort and energy into developing my photo abilities, I will put the same effort and energy into the images I create.
