This is the official Salem/Monmouth Artisan blog, with personal and professional contributions by ME!  Melanie Whitaker.  My Sister and I created Artisan Photographics because we are passionate about the world of Arts.  There is a need within us to create beautiful images in our lives and yours.  We practically obsess over fun, new ideas, and are always wanting to play with them!  We gain inspiration through fassion magazines and other fantastic photographers who are generous enough to share their ideas and skills with others.  Through this blog, I hope to gain more freinds and clients, but mainly to share with others my visions and dreams.

So, this blog is for my very latest work which I will post for all to see!  I try to keep everything current, and I post frequently to keep ya comin’ back for more!  Feel free to “blog stock” me!  I do it all the time.  AND, feel free to leave comments for me; I love the feedback.  Also, keep checking back for special deals, or contests, which will always be advertised through this blog!  If you live closer to Missy, then you may also want to check out her blog for special deals in her area (Portland).

For more information, click on the link to our official website where you can see slideshows for Weddings, Seniors, Babies, Children, and Families.  We are located in the Salem, Oregon and Portland, Oregon areas.  We will travel if needed.  We are totally up for doing any destination weddings and other personalized photo shoots.  Please contact us if you are interested in making an appointment or just talk about your ideas!

    Hello! I was dropping by your website by accident actually and stopped by your blog, I love to make new friends with female photographers because its a tough biz for woman in this industry and think its fantastic to share words of wisdom. Hope all is well and hope we can be friends. Thanks! great work!
