Your session is very personal to you, and I make it my top priority to make it personal for myself, every step of the way!

My 9 year olds exact words were "mom, she is soo nice!"
I agree with her. She is also so good at what she does. Melissa made the entire process so easy. And the results were beautiful. We will definitely use Melissa again for all our photography needs and recommend her to anyone! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I could NOT have imagined my shoot would be so much fun. I seriously didn't expect any of the photos to turn out because of how crazy the kids were. You are MAGICAL. Thank you a MILLION times for everything you have done for us. I'll definitely be recommending you to everyone I know!

Thank you SO much! You're so enthusiastic and fun, you made taking our pictures feel like I was just hanging out with my best friend. It's crazy how comfortable you are able to make people feel after such a short amount of time! Thank you again so much!

Melissa was a dream to work with! From the beginning, she was always so quick to respond to emails, was genuine in wanting to answer questions, and do anything she could to make the process as easy as possible.
During the newborn photo session, she was a calming presence through the chaos and so patient. My newborn baby was upset almost the entire time and I remember saying to my husband afterwards, "Gosh, I hope she was able to get some good ones through all of that!" 😅
We just got the photos back and couldn't be happier! I'm shocked at how many GORGEOUS photos Melissa was able to capture in between my baby's crying fits. Seriously, so talented and I would book her again in a heartbeat! 💕
