The Services
When I photograph your wedding day or any other special moment in your life, I'm not just the person who will follow everyone around with some camera taking some pictures. You're investing in ME, the fun girl with a love for raw, real moments who will capture your whole experience as if I was preserving my own memories, love story, family, and friends. Every single ounce of time and trust that you invest me, I invest back into your story 1000%. I promise to not only deliver photographs to you that you will love and want to print off the second you get your sneak peeks back, but you will remember how happy you were that day because they will be true to you.
YOUR LIFE SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED IN A WAY THAT FEELS LIKE YOU.

We decided to get married in Cancun and there was no one else we would have wanted to come and take pictures of our big day and party with us. We had the best week ever and having the best photographer is just the cherry on top. We love Mel and are so grateful for her. I've looked through our gallery several times already and I could cry. I love our photos and I felt like I was right back in Mexico with my best friends marrying the man of my dreams.

I absolutely love our photos and cannot wait until next year to shoot together again. Melissa is so great and it just felt so natural. She was so positive and made it so much fun for us, we felt so comfortable. I want to post them all, we can't stop looking at them!I always wanted pictures in my dream Pinterest outfit and Melissa made my Pinterest Board dreams come true!
"We can't wait to shoot together again!"

I absolutely love them all!!! Our Wedding Gallery makes me so happy, it makes me want to relive the day over and over again! Thank you so much for capturing our day for us - it was perfect to us! And we are so thankful to have all of these to look back on for the rest of our lives. I can't express my gratitude enough. Every spare second I have I am flipping through these! We are SO happy!

Melissa is so kind and down to earth. She made me feel so comfortable with myself while taking some branding photos for my business. It was my first time meeting her, but it felt like I'd known her forever. If you are needing a photographer who makes you feel so comfortable in your own skin, she's your girl!

Melissa really took the time to get to know me and ask me what I wanted out of these photos. This pregnancy was rough for me and I just didn't feel as cute as I did during my last pregnancy, but somehow she found a way to make me feel pretty and look pretty. She doesn't pose because she likes to make sure you feel more candid but sometimes you just don't know what to do with yourself so she makes sure to prompt you and get all the good angles. She does such a good job of making eveything feel natural and I never felt awkward. My session was perfect and I couldn't recommend Mel enough, if you're on the fence about having your picture taken, just go for it!

Over the last couple years my photography style has evolved into romantic, documentary with luxurious, Vogue, editorial influences. This allows me to truly document your moments exactly as they are.
I have loved photography my whole life, I am one of those people. I always was begging for disposable cameras and any kind of powershot digital camera. I saved my babysitting money to go to Walgreens and print things off for my school binder and to cover my bedroom walls. I took photography in high school where I learned to develop film and how to toggle camera settings and I have been hooked ever since.
I currently live in Washington State with my cute little fam. When I'm not behind the lens and making magic with you, I am behind the chair as a Blonde Specialist in my own salon. I am someone who is always keeping busy making art, that's just the creative in me.
Photography is so important to me because memories fade. I'm not even old yet and my own memories are already starting to change a little bit as time goes on and there isn't anything I wouldn't do to make sure I have photos to remember all the moments and milestones in this life. I love sharing that with others and making it possible for everyone else to celebrate and keep their memories forever too!
