the photographer
welcome! I'm melissa!
I’m so glad you’re here. I believe family photos are more than just pretty pictures. They’re stories, frozen in time, that you’ll look back on for years to come. Your little ones won’t stay little forever, and life moves fast, but photographs let you relive those moments anytime you want. That’s why I pour my heart into every session: so you can hold onto the laughter, love, and connection that make your family uniquely yours.
My approach
Sessions with me aren’t about stiff poses or forced smiles. Instead, we’ll run, play, dance, and laugh together. The more you interact naturally, the more genuine the images become.
I’ll guide you along the way so you feel comfortable and confident, but I’ll also step back to let your true personalities shine.
My goal? Timeless, heartfelt images that feel like you.
