Tesoro Photography's Blog bio picture

Announcement

I will be doing some mini sessions this fall, and a handful of other
sessions that have already inquired, but really, that’s it.
Indefinitely.

That’s right, Tesoro Photography will not be available for
sessions beyond those I am booking already, and then the mini sessions I
will announce this week.

No, I’m not quitting. Just taking a hiatus. It’s time. Time to spend
doing pre-school with my kids. Time to play without the burden of photo
shoots to edit on my back. Time to regain some creativity. Doing
projects like those I’ve found on Pinterest. Time to clean and organize
and purge and pack. Well, maybe not. ;)

If we are still here after January, I think the earliest I foresee re-opening shop would be March.

About Us

Melissa Pearce

I first fell for photography when I was little, shooting snails
and rosebushes with my little 110mm camera. As I grew older, I realized
it was people I really loved to photograph. After high school, I studied
photography at the University of the Nations in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. I
worked
at a film and print lab for a year, shooting on my own here and there.
(The first few weddings I shot were in film! ) Then I spent the next two
years working as a lead photographer for a local studio, where I
predominantly shot weddings and designed albums. I married my husband,
Randy, in 2006 and we had our first little cuddlebug in March of 2008,
and our second in June 2009. (Phew, I know that was fast, but we
wouldn't trade them for anything!) I LOVE being a mom. I also LOVE
sushi, stationery, fast lenses and my Lord and Savior, Jesus. I grew up
speaking English and Spanish, hence the name of our company, "Tesoro,"
which means "treasure."

Randy Pearce

I have been interested in photography for a while, but of
course, when I met Mel, I really got into it. I have been her assistant
and second shooter for a couple of years now, and she tells me I rock.

Little Man Jayden.

This little guy is so adorable. I fell in love. (Don’t tell Randy.) We chased each other around Joyner Park on a rather chilly day, chatting it up about Legos and colors and the Museum of Life and Science he’d visited the weekend before. And his mom, Elisabeth,  and I caught up on life. Randy...

It’s more than a building. It’s an answer to prayer.

That’s what anyone involved with the ministry of the Corporate Chaplains of America would tell you. Corporate Chaplains of America began over a decade ago, and on a rainy Tuesday afternoon, several hundred gathered at the newly built Headquarters for a celebration. Everyone we met was super friendly, the building was beautiful, and the ceremony...

Name that Baby!

That’s right… they look alike, but you can so tell who’s who. Vaden is first, and then it’s Cana. Cana is only six months and Vaden was nine at Christmas last year, but they are wearing the same outfit. Though he weighed more, she seems to be in bigger sizes and fills them out more....

It’s beginning to look like Christmas came and went!

This holiday season–like many years–was a flurry of excitement, of delicious cookie-baking (and eating!), visiting with family, decorating, and celebrating! We went right from my graduation to Christmas (the first one we celebrated was the day after graduation and had three more the following week with all our families) and then we cleaned up the...
