ALL ABOUT melissa

Your family's love, connection, natural interaction, and emotion is my focus

my Vision

Juggling a career, family, and a constantly changing schedule as a working mama and fire wife can be a challenge. However, I remind myself to savor the journey. Life moves fast, and it's essential to take a moment to appreciate the present.

As a photographer, I get to capture fleeting moments and preserve them for a lifetime, but I also understand the importance of living in the moment. So whether I'm behind the camera or enjoying time with my family, I strive to embrace the journey and make every moment count.

About melissa

No matter what stage your family is in, I want to capture you in a way that is artistic, real, and full of love. Sessions with me are fun and relaxed, and while I provide gentle guidance and encourage you to interact naturally with one another, I rarely ask you to look at the camera.

Our time together is dedicated to documenting you loving on each other and capturing those tiny details that may otherwise be forgotten. In the end, you'll have images that make you feel all the emotions; images that make you grin and giggle and simultaneously tear up.

Through the

Photographs of loved ones hold the highest value in my heart. They encapsulate the greatest gift—moments, faces, places, and emotions frozen in time. As we all know, days can feel long, but years slip away swiftly. With age, this truth becomes more apparent.

At 23, I lost my father to cancer. He battled bravely from 36 to 42, leaving me with a longing for more shared photos to pass on to my children. Time continues its steady march, bringing change. Photography grants us the power to honor our seasons, even beyond our earthly presence.
