family & Motherhood photographer
Hi, I’m Melissa—but let’s be real, this page isn’t really about me… it’s about YOU.
You’re here because you want to capture something real. Not just perfectly posed photos, but the laughter, the love, and the beautiful chaos that makes your family yours.
Sure, I could tell you all about my love for mexican food, my love for spontaneous road trips, and how I can’t live without a Dr. Pepper Zero (and, trust me, it’s all true!). But what really matters is how I can help you turn today’s moments into lasting memories.
Motherhood isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, loving hard, and doing your best. That’s what I want your photos to reflect.
To soak in the giggles, the tiny hands in yours, the quiet glances from your partner. These moments may seem small, but they’re the ones you’ll want to hold onto forever.
That’s where I come in. Life doesn’t have a pause button, and before we know it, those everyday moments turn into memories. I believe photography isn’t just a service—it’s an investment in your story. It’s about capturing who you are today, so when you look back years from now, those
Here’s How We’ll Make It Happen:
Step 1: pre-session planning
Pre-session planning – We’ll chat about everything—from location ideas to outfit inspiration, your family vibe and what matters most to you, so you’ll feel totally prepared.
Step 2: session day fun
We’ll keep things relaxed, playful, and pressure-free. Whether your kids are bouncing with energy or feeling a little shy, I’ll meet them where they’re at and make sure everyone has a great time.
Step 3: post session magic
After the session, I’ll handpick and edit the best moments, delivering a beautifully curated gallery that you’ll want to revisit again and again.
Still Curious About Me?
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m living my own beautifully messy story. You’ll probably find me:
- Chasing sunsets because nothing beats that golden-hour glow.
- Binge-watching crime documentaries (because who doesn’t love a good crime doc?).
- Hanging out with my favorite people—my family.
- Planning our next family adventure—whether it’s a weekend getaway or a spontaneous day trip.
Capturing them means you’ll always have a way to hold onto the love, connection, and joy that make your family yours.
Why photography? Because life moves fast, and those little moments—the ones that seem so ordinary today—will one day mean everything.
What Makes Working with Me Different?
I get it—life’s busy, messy, and unpredictable. Family sessions aren’t about perfection; they’re about capturing real, perfectly imperfect moments that tell your story.
My approach? Simple, relaxed, and fun.
Need outfit help? I’ve got you covered with a style guide & personalized styling. Worried about shy kids (or partners)? Don’t be—I’m great at helping everyone feel comfortable and at ease.
Feeling overwhelmed? I’ll be there every step, making sure the session is fun, lighthearted, and stress-free. Think of me as your photographer and cheerleader!
