Hi, I’m Melissa — a photographer, mom, and storyteller at heart. My love for photography began more as a hobby and then evolved throughout the years and even more so once I had my kids. Watching them grow made me realize how quickly time passes and how important it is to capture the moments that truly matter — the real, imperfect, beautiful ones that tell our story.
That’s what I want to give you, too. I’m not here to create stiff, posed photos — I want to capture you just as you are. The laughs, the quiet glances, the emotions that make your story unique. Because those are the moments that mean the most when you look back years from now.
For me, photography is about connection — seeing people for who they are and preserving that in a way that feels honest and full of heart.

My children are the reason I fell more in love with photography — and the reason how much more valuable photographs really are.
Watching them grow has shown me how fleeting life’s most meaningful moments truly are. The laughter, the connection, the quiet in-between moments — they all pass too quickly, but photographs let us hold onto them forever.
That perspective is at the heart of how I photograph weddings. I know that the images I create today will one day become a family’s most cherished memories — the beginning of a legacy.
Each couple’s story reminds me of what I treasure most in my own life: love, family, and the beauty of time standing still for just a moment.
My kids are my “why,” and they inspire me to capture every love story with the same care and intention I bring to preserving my own.
