Honest Family Portraits
Capturing real-life events and milestones with an artistic manner and the art of the everyday.
I love joining families as they adventure in their homes and the outdoors, exploring, learning. Documenting all the love, laughter, cuddles and tears. All of you and yours.
"Melissa is one of the most professional, caring, compassionate photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She takes her time to understand my kids and what they need along with what my ideas are. The moments I see in my mind she knows how to capture. 10/10 highly recommend. Absolutely love all her work and her." -Danielle
Motherhood
The romantic documentation of mothers in waiting and their journey raising their young.
Everything changes quickly as a woman embarks on her journey through the stages of motherhood. What we do is incredible and deserves to be documented every step of the way.
Welcoming New Life
Counting wrinkles, Fingers, and toes.
Within the first hours to two weeks of life earthside, there are so many details that change in a blink. These cherished memories are so important to have to look back on, you will never get tired of admiring your brand-new creations, as they are, those first moments in your arms.
Friendly, compassionate, and professional. Melissa has become a close friend to my family for several years now, and has captured some of the most beautiful moments in our lives. The first 24 hours of my twins lives, were a very raw and emotional time for my family. Melissa came in, and the first thing she did was ask what she could do to help. Once everyone was comfortable, we just did our thing, and she captured us as we were. Tired, emotional, and totally in love. These and many other photos of hers, are ones I will cherish for the rest of my days. We are grateful to know someone so sweet and loving, who does what she does with such passion and skill. -Hannah
