I am Melissa, and I have been in the photography industry for 15 years. I studied first through the New York Institute of Photography and then in college. I left college early, choosing to learn with a much more hands on approach as I traveled and eventually headed into the world of wedding photography after assisting with several small studios. Throughout this time I continued working on personal

projects to keep my mind fresh and my eyes open. I'd also been photographing musicians and models as a way to keep evolving as trends did. I shot more weddings than I could count before I put down my camera for a year and reapproached my career when I found myself doing more and more custom portraits and photography for children's boutiques, which then led me to family and children's portraits. Though I always found weddings to be fulfilling my primary focus has become custom photography. It's such a reward to me when a woman who's maternity session I've shot becomes excited for me to photograph their precious newborn and when families allow me to document their growth. Working with children can be challenging, at times, but always leave me with a sense of accomplishment when I've created an image that will hang on their family's walls and even become a part of an heirloom album. "I dont have a history of having the best of luck. But I definitely lucked out when a friend contacted me and asked if I would be interested in having my youngest son model for Melissa. I was extremely impressed with her work. After that brief meeting I knew I would have to hire her to shoot my next set of personal pictures. Her laid back and relaxed persona was unlike anything I have ever experienced in a "big box" photography studio. My older boys actually did what she requested of them and even when the youngest one didn't, she figured out a way to get good shots out of his foolishness! I recently saw a set of maternity shots Melissa took. She captured the very essence of everything beautiful that comes with pregnancy. Makes me want to have another one myself! Her prices are fair and timeliness appreciated. I highly recommend." ~Amanda T.

14 years ago I first photographed this beautiful girl with balloons for a project I was working on to face my fears (yup, I'm afraid of balloons, it's a whole thing). This fall I got to photograph her senior portraits and I couldn't be happier to catch up with her and learn about her goals and achievements

✨ Styled Child Sessions ✨
These are some of my absolute favorites to photograph! They’re all about boosting confidence, playing dress-up, and creating portraits you’ll treasure.
To refresh my portfolio after nearly a year away, I’m offering 5 discounted sessions. Each child will get to choose a piece from the studio wardrobe and share some of their favorite things for me to weave into their session—making it truly their own.
Each session includes 3 digital images plus half off any additional artwork.
📅 Sessions must be completed by October 1, 2025.

I’m looking for 3 fur babies to join me in the studio for a discounted session of each before the end of the month! I’d love to start offering pup portraits and the first three for this new project will receive half off their session fee, three digital files and half off all additional ordered artwork! One set will be on black to create a timeless portrait of your best friend, one bright and bold shot, and then we’ll head to the park near the studio for a quick family portrait with everyone and their pooch! Inbox me to schedule!
