ART THAT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE
BUT FELT FOREVER
Whether it's the most significant day of your life or the quiet, meaningful moments in between, your love story deserves to be authentically and beautifully preserved. I strive to capture what’s uniquely yours—the genuine connection, emotions, and moments that make your relationship one of a kind. It’s not always the grand gestures but the everyday moments that make your love feel like home, and that’s what I’m here to document. Creating memories for you to cherish forever is the heart of what I do, and I can’t wait to bring your story to life.

I'm an architectural designer that loves love and the candid belly laughs. When I’m not behind the lens capturing your love story, you can find me at home tending to my plants, location scouting with my dogs, and watching The Office for the 65th time

Every love story is unique, and yours deserves to be documented in a way that feels real and true to who you are. Whether it’s the quiet comfort of your home or the vibrant energy of an outdoor adventure, I’m here to capture those moments that reflect your connection.
From soft, intimate glances to the laughter you share in everyday moments, I focus on creating an environment where you can relax, be yourselves, and let your love shine. Together, we’ll craft a collection of images that tell your story—raw, authentic, and completely you.
Whether it’s your first chapter or a milestone along the way, let’s celebrate your journey.
Capturing you as your authentic selves
Your love story
When working with a new photographer, there's always the worry that maybe your photos won't be as spectacular as the ones you've seen on their social media but the consistency across Melissa's body of work makes her photography a universe that you can jump into when you hire her.
“ I feel like I got to jump timelines into her world of romance, movement, and juicy juicy light. I will treasure these images until I die.”
I’ve done photo shoots with Melissa over the years. She was the first photographer I did a photo shoot with. I was losing weight and I didn’t feel all the way comfortable in my own body yet. She made the whole experience so comfortable for me and that made such a huge difference. She helped me feel so confident and because of her I feel comfortable doing shoots with other photographers. Every time I do a session with her it doesn’t feel like I’m doing a whole lot, then when you see the photos she took I go “what??! Did we really do this together?”. She’s very much a candid photographer which is great because I think the best photos happen mainly when you don’t pose much for them but even when it comes to posing she’s got you. Melissa is an amazing photographer and very fun to be around. I recommend her 1000%
“This woman is the reason I’m so comfortable getting my photos taken”
She even let us change our location last minute! She even surprised us with a vinyl record from our favorite artist.
Whatever milestone you’re looking to have captured, Melissa will make sure your photos turn out amazing! Highly recommend!
“Melissa was a dream to work with.”
She is so creative and has such a chill vibe with her clients and models that they are just able to relax and have fun while shooting. I highly highly recommend.
“Melissa is such an amazing photographer.”
