So I accidentally deleted an entire album (engagement session) off of my hard drive and emptied out my trash bin. I went into straight panic mode last night. I have NEVER done anything like that. EVER!! I immediately Twittered/Facebook asking for help from ANY photographers that was up at 2am. Lain Eubank messaged me and spent some time trying to troubleshoot. We tried again today but no luck. You have no idea how thankful I am that she reached out in the middle of the night. After talking to Lain I realized I should start writing my obituary. So after Giant came home from a long day of work, I almost literally threw him in front of the computer and basically made him figure it out. He knows NOTHING about Lightroom. Five hours later and the album is back up!!!! I don’t know how he does it. But he did. And he does it everytime. I always know that if I’m stuck anywhere that’s computer related I can count on my Giant to come and rescue. He’s like my knight in armor for computers!!!

Background
Melissa Diep was born in Saigon, Vietnam. Her family fled their homeland shortly after the United States pulled out of the Vietnam War, and Saigon fell to the communist North. Often referred to as "Boat People," her family spent 10 days at sea on a tiny, cramped fishing boat until they reached a refugee camp in Thailand. They spent a year and a half in the over crowded camp, which lacked many basic necessities such as running water, while awaiting sponsorship to the United States. In 1980, a Jewish family from Skokie, Illinois, answered their prayers. Melissa has been a resident of Chicago ever since. Her family's journey has shaped who she is today.
Photography Style
Much of Melissa's style sense is influenced by her fresh, creative perspective and passion for capturing extraordinary moments. Employing a photojournalistic approach, the result is photos with stunning visual impact, that are natural and unscripted. This dramatic storytelling ensures the moments and memories of each event are forever treasured and preserved.
