I'm so glad you're here!

Hey there,

My name is Melissa and if you are searching for a fun, outgoing, yet laid-back photographer...you've come to the right place! I love to capture a mixture of posed and candid photos while making sure my clients have a great time during the process. You won't be guessing how to pose or where to stand because I will have that all figured out for you!

My main goal is for you to leave your session saying "that was a blast" and to look at your gallery and say "OMG these captured the moment perfectly".

Whether you are a family, couple, or individual, I can help you capture what you are imagining and deliver you photos that you can enjoy for years to come.
