Life moves fast—especially with kids, and even faster when senior year rolls around. As a mom, I get it. My sessions are laid-back, fun, and focused on real moments, not stiff poses. Come as you are, relax, have fun, and trust me to capture the magic in between.

Family & Senior

the MelMarie story

If you are searching for a photographer that really understands the importance of capturing your family at every stage, you're in the right place.
As a mom, I know firsthand how fast these days pass. My goal is to help you hold onto the moments that matter most and capture the real heart of your family while having fun at the same time!

HEY THERE!

"Melissa was AMAZING! She not only had the patience of a saint, but kids instantly warmed up to her! We all left going ‘wow, that was so fun!"

Amber

"Melissa did a fantastic job with our family photo's! My family is very busy and wild, and she captured the spirit of us so well."

Travis

"Family photos with a two- and four-year-old will probably always be a challenge, but Melissa made it easy and fun! Our kids were so comfortable with her."
