It is such a privilege when people share bits of their own stories with me. And to have the opportunity to capture moments of their story in a unique way... best thing ever. It brings me so much joy to be able to come alongside and capture moments to help you reflect on memories of the story of your life. I would love the chance to get to know you and some of your story, too.

I'm Melissa. A wedding and portrait photographer. I love to capture genuine moments and connections and help tell stories through images.

so glad you are here

My mission is to love folks well. To make them feel seen and valued and know that their story is unique and important.

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 love stories - give me a good story in just about any form and I get drawn in pretty easily. I can't help it. There's something about good storytelling that's captivating.
I love to think of myself as a bit of a story capturer.
It is such an honor when people share their own stories with me - and then an even greater privilege to be able to capture them in a unique way to remember for years to come.

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.

hello 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!
