I understand the importance of capturing lifes little moments
Im not just a Photographer…im also a Mother & a Wife
My name is Melissa and I am so happy you are considering hiring me to turn your special moments into lasting memories! As a new mother, I can attest to the fact that time flies right by and its so easy to forget how it used to be without having something to bring into the future with you as a reminder. Thats the reason I am so passionate about photography. It gives me a creative outlet while also helping me capture life’s fleeting moments for my clients.
It means the world that you are considering me for your photography needs and that's why I want you to know just how important it is to me to that I deliver exactly what I promise. My main goal is to help you feel comfortable and excited to be photographed. I know firsthand how nerve wracking it can be to be put in front of a camera and told to smile.
During my sessions, I focus more on documenting all of the natural and candid moments rather than posing you for every image. Of course, we will still capture those posed photos for you during your session, but those moments when you are genuinely laughing and showing your true emotions and feelings can’t be created. That’s why I focus more on movement during my sessions rather than posing my clients. Those unposed, natural, and candid moments are the ones that create the best photographs and show everyone what makes you, YOU!
