You don’t want just another photographer. You want someone who gets it. Whether you’re stepping into senior year or chasing around your little ones, I’ll meet you exactly where you’re at. All my sessions are laid-back and fun, but you’ll walk away with dreamy photos you’ll love.

Family & Senior

the MelMarie story

If you’re looking for a photographer who will make you laugh during your senior session, sing and dance to get your toddler smiling, make goofy noises so your dog looks at the camera, or slows things down to comfort you during those newborn snuggles — you’re in the right place. Around here, sessions are relaxed, full of laughter, and designed to feel more like a fun hangout than a photo shoot.

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."
