Hi, I'm Melissa. Over the course of nearly a decade of motherhood, there’s a lot I’ve learned that isn’t important. Having the toy that everyone’s talking about … worrying about perfect behavior … making sure their outfit matches. At the end of the day, that stuff doesn’t matter.
You know what I focus on instead? Loving on my boys and creating a home that’s bursting with affection. I want them to go to bed every night knowing how much their parents love them, even on the days they’ve fought like cats over the Legos.
The way I mother reflects the way I photograph. I’ll love on your family, make sure your kids know how important they are, and always, always capture the perfectly unique personalities of you and your kids.
SAY “I LOVE YOU” EVERY DAY
that's one of my rules for motherhood
the result is photos full of REAL LOVE.

Fire can mean passion, and my photography is definitely one of mine. But FIRE FAMILY PHOTO was kindled in a different way.
I’m a fire wife (aka, my husband is a firefighter), and let me tell you, juggling that schedule with children can be tough. But that’s why I love photography. It allows me to fill my cup and also live by a schedule that works for my family. And can I tell you a secret? I love photographing moms so much because THEY GET IT.

No matter where your family is on its journey, as your photographer in Macon GA, my goal is to capture genuine, artistic moments filled with love. During our sessions, I prioritize a fun and relaxed atmosphere. While I offer gentle guidance, I encourage natural interactions, seldom requesting direct camera poses.
Our time together is focused on documenting the love within your family, capturing those small details often overlooked. Ultimately, the images created will evoke a range of emotions, bringing smiles, laughter, and perhaps even tears as you relive those precious moments
