I'm MelISSA, nice to meet you!

Before I dive in, I just want to say I am so excited you are here! I know the feeling of hours upon hours of looking for a photographer that can handle your chaos and connect with you. Well, good news, your search is FINALLY over! Not only do I embrace your chaos, I capture every perfectly imperfect moment.

I'm a proud momma of three,  (don't mind my sons face in our photo, it was COLD!), and one handsome fur baby. I have the most amazing, supportive husband I could ever ask for that helps me calm (and embrace) the chaos in my own home. My kids were my main inspiration to follow my dreams as a lifestyle photographer, and the immense love I have for creating your own memories is what keeps me going. I am based in Princeton, Minnesota with a studio in Downtown Anoka and just West of Cambridge. I will travel wherever you need me! From Wisconsin to Florida to Nevada, if you're there, I'm there.


Photography feeds my heart and soul, being there for your most intimate moments of your life. I focus on telling your story, showing others what makes you YOU. I capture the moments you overlook, the in-between, the moments you don't see as they're happening. I show you everything you will cherish forever.

Your session isn't just about fancy pictures, it's about creating and capturing timeless images of all the little moments that mean the most to you and your family, and having lasting memories that you will be able to forever look back on.

and I am all about the craziness.

this is your time
