Photos authentic to you

Laugh, goof around and do what you usually do

The beginning of a session can be awkward, especially when you're not used to being in front of the camera. I tend to start by getting to know more about you so I can help you relax. By the end of the session most clients are acting as they usually would and some even forget the camera is on them! My goal is to capture you at your most authentic, and I can't do that when you're feeling anxious or stressed! But do not worry, I'm an expert at cutting the stress and making shoots fun!

When my wife and I were looking for photographers to take our maternity photos for our first child, we came across Melissa's instagram and knew we had to reach out! Melissa listened to everything my wife wanted to do and gave great feedback to improve our vision even more than we could have asked for. She showed up on time, came prepared with props, and has an infectious personality. If you are looking for not only great photos but a great experience, there is no one like Melissa!

We worked with Melissa to take Christmas photos to share with friends and family, and it was a wonderful experience. Not only were the photos beautiful and sent to us in a timely manner, but Melissa made us feel extremely comfortable being in front of the camera. We did not have a vision for our photos and we turned to Melissa for guidance. She was able to creatively direct our session, which turned out better than we could have imagined. We can't wait to take more photos with Melissa!

I truly have nothing but the highest praise and appreciation for all that Melissa did for us. She was just professional and superbly talented, fun to work with, always smiling, and seemed to be truly enjoying the photo shoot along with us. She was great with my two-year-old and got him smiling and laughing for perfect pics. Thanks Melissa!

I have always felt so comfortable with Melissa during photoshoots with her! My most recent experience was when I was 7 months pregnant. I wanted to do a maternity shoot, but was anxious to see how I would look through the lens of a cmaera with my new growing body. Melissa was my biggest hype woman, and made me feel extremely beautiful in a time when I needed it most! When we were finished I felt extremely confident and excited to see the results. I can't recommend her enough!
