She made us feel comfortable the whole session and truly captured our personalities in the most beautiful form. I would highly recommend Melissa if you are seeking a photographer. She will deliver more than expected and make you feel like family in the process.”

Choose Your Experience

  • SENIORS

    Senior portraits are so much more than the picture you place in your high school yearbook. I get to know your personality and interests to deliver a personalized session that highlights YOU and your story. You will walk away with a beautiful, unique gallery that represents the very best version of yourself.

  • Lifestyle portrait sessions can be for individuals, couples, families and children. Portrait sessions can be either indoor or outdoor and include a mix of traditional portraits and lifestyle, candid captures in-between.

    FAMIIES

    Portrait sessions can be either indoor or outdoor and include a mix of traditional portraits and lifestyle, candid captures in-between. I promise our time together will warm your heart and the walls in your home for years to come.

  • COUPLES

    Every love story begins with two hearts intertwined. In couples sessions, I am dedicated to both crafting beautiful portraits and echoing your authentic love story. You can choose between a cozy indoor lifestyle shoot, a scenic outdoor setting or a blend of the two.

  • MATERNITY & NEWBORN

    Before anything else, I am a mother. I PROMISE that when you choose me as your maternity & newborn photographer, you can rest assured that I will provide flattering poses for those last few weeks of pregnancy and I will be as gentle and careful with your little one as I am my own. The lifestyle nature of my photography allows for a carefree, relaxed session that will leave you with all the little details of this lovely time of transition in your life.

  • CAKESMASH & MILESTONE

    They really do grow so fast. That’s why I provide packages for that first birthday cake smash and all the milestones after and in between. These packages are designed to be affordable and customizable for you little ones age.

  • WEDDINGS

    Love is unique and and no two love stories are the same…and so it is with weddings. I like to hear the details of your important day to customize a quote that fits all of your needs and isn’t a simple hourly rate. My wedding packages start at $1800 and engagement sessions are always included, free of charge.
