My daughter and I enjoyed working with Melissa. Her communication was prompt and clear, she recommended a lovely location for our session, and she made my daughter feel comfortable and confident. The photos were natural, unforced and beautiful. We look forward to working with Melissa again!

Melissa is an absolute professional! As a man trying to set up a great engagement photoshoot that my partner would love I don’t think I could have found a more talented photographer. My partner loved the photos and the process, and Melissa made it really easy with her photo ideas. Everything’s coming out great and would highly recommend to a friend!

Melissa was very prompt in answering all my inquiries, worked with our budget, and delivered some great candid shots, also.

Melissa is nothing but a pro! She did an amazing job with our Self-Solemnization ceremony. It was a very intimate moment and she made us feel so comfortable. She was so professional, kind and just a joy to have her photograph our moment. She send sneak peek photos the very next day and they were everything we wanted and more. Thank you so much Melissa
