I'm Melissa, nice to meet you!

Around here, my life is a happy mix of family, fur-babies, and photography. I’m a wife to an amazing trucker, mom of two, and the proud caretaker of a menagerie that includes dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and a bunny. My simple joys are a good cup of coffee, the thrill of finding a treasure in an antique store, and the excitement of exploring a new place.

My path to becoming a professional photographer wasn't exactly planned. I started as a stay-at-home mom with a camera always in hand. But when our family faced a medical challenge with our oldest child, it lit a fire in me to build something more. That hobby quickly blossomed into the business I'm so proud of today.

This work has transformed me. It’s taught me to be brave, to navigate new cities with confidence, and has gifted me with incredible friendships along the way. It’s a constant reminder that life is about embracing growth and adventure, and I feel so lucky to have a career that’s all about preserving precious memories.

As a true hopeless romantic, my heart is in every photo I take. There is nothing more rewarding witnessing two people in love, being your family's cheerleader, watching children grow and celebrating the incredible milestones that mark your journey. I am also here to stand with you through life's challenges, capturing the strength and hope that come with a new chapter. The saying is true—the days are long, but the years are incredibly short. I am here to help you press pause, creating timeless images that become a part of your legacy, allowing future generations to feel the love of this exact moment in time.

and I am all about helping you celebrate it

this is your legacy
