My mission is to love folks well. To make them feel seen and valued and know that their story is unique and important. Whether it is preparing for your wedding day, celebrating the arrival of a new babe, capturing a favorite Halloween costume or back to school, or helping business owners with new headshots or content images... It's a treasure for me to get to play a role in so many lovely stories.

I love working with families, couples, individuals, seniors, business owners... getting to play a role in your story is so special to me

learn more about me

I'm an avid reader and TV show binger. I think I'm just drawn to stories and I always have been. I picked up a camera and found myself able to tell stories that I never could capture with words. I'm honored when people share pieces of their stories with me, whether that's over coffee, on a walk or when they're in front of my camera.

I'm a photographer who adores getting to capture connections & love in so many different ways. Your story is unique and lovely and I'm honored to help capture it.

I'm Melissa.

hi there,

"Melissa was excellent to work with. She was prompt in answering my questions and finding an available date. All we had to do was show up and smile! She made us feel comfortable as she captured our family perfectly. We look forward to using Melissa in all of our upcoming family photo sessions in the future!"

My favorite thing about Melissa is her photography style. She is very professional, but more important laid back and fun. My kids were very comfortable with her and even when I thought they were crazy, she got some beautiful pictures! I would highly recommend her to capture such important memories. Her photos are gorgeous and real. I have had several printed on canvases and they turned out amazing. I would encourage you to use Melissa, she is wonderful!

Our engagement session with Melissa was so fun and very natural feeling. I had photo request with certain props she never done before & she made it all possible! I couldn’t be happier with our photos from Melissa!
