I’m right there with you in the beautiful, messy middle.

I’m Melissa, a Middle Georgia motherhood and family photographer

As a mama of two and a firefighter’s wife, I get the chaos—solo bedtimes, endless laundry, and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that stop you in your tracks.

I’m not here to pose you perfectly. I’m here to gently guide when needed, step back when I can, and document what’s real: the connection, the laughter, the deep breaths in between.

Because those are the moments you’ll want to hold onto.

A space to slow down and be with your people.

What it’s like to work together

Enjoy easy online booking

Reserve your session in just a few clicks or reach out with questions. A $200 retainer holds your spot, and the rest isn’t due until three days before. No stress, no surprises.

Prep that feels simple

From location ideas to outfit help and my Client Closet, I’ve got you. You’ll get a prep guide and gentle check-ins so you’re never figuring it out alone.

A session that is natural not posed

Your only job is to love on your people. I’ll guide when needed, step back when I can, and catch the sweet, silly, and in-between moments.

Images that feel like your family

When your gallery is ready, you’ll download your favorites and explore heirloom prints—albums, wall art, and more—to bring your story to life in a way you can hold.
