In an effort to encourage Sault consumers to support the area's increasing and creative arts scene, SooToday.com hopes our readers will consider shopping local this holiday season.
From now until Christmas, we will be showcasing the work of local artists and craftspeople with this new weekly feature.
This week's feature highlight's the work of Melissa Connors' Photography.

Melissa's photographs are currently on display in the office of Sault MP Bryan Hayes, and a show of her work is in the works for March 2013 at cafe Natura.

About Melissa Connors' Photography
Originally from Cumberland, Rhode Island, my husband, our two sons and I moved to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario to run a small resort in 2004.
This was my husband's dream ever since I've known him.
My passion has always been photography.
So now that our sons have grown and are following their dreams, I've decided it is time I followed mine!
So - I hope you enjoy my photos!
