newborn.
family.
branding.
I transform unscripted moments into magic, with direction that feels like play & conversation. From newborn days and family life to helping women show up and be seen, I create photographs that feel like you.
Because you belong in the story too.

My story started with a pen in hand...
I'm Melissa. I started as a writer, became a video producer, and have always been a little obsessed with finding a way to hold onto the feeling of a moment.
Maybe that’s because I’m also a mom of four boys, constantly watching one version of our life disappear into the next.
Photography became a way to do both: tell the story and keep a piece of it. And now, I care just as much about making people feel good in front of my camera as I do about the photographs we make together.
