HEY, I'M MELISSA
But you can call me Mel...
I’m a summer-lovin’, milk chocolate obsessed, multi-passionate kinda gal. I feel most at peace if I have a day at the beach, a hike in the mountains, or a simple breezy afternoon on my back porch rocker. So probably just being outside, yep. That’s it.
I’ve been married to my best friend for 13 years and am so thankful the Lord brought that California boy into my world almost 16 years ago. We now
have 4 kiddos that bring us THE most joy.
WHAT ARE MY FAVORITE TYPE OF PHOTOS?
I absolutely LOVE the type of photos that you find in an old dusty box digging through your grandparents attic. You know, the kind where nobody is looking at the camera and you can see the joy they feel in that candid moment! My entire goal for the time we spend together is to make those moments happen, then capture them for you and your future generations to come.
A little glimpse of my heart...
“She took our engagement pictures and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera!”
Melissa is amazing at what she does and always delivers the most beautiful product. She took our engagement pictures and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She is the best addition to capture any special day!”
"We truly appreciate her focus on real-life moments rather than just posed shots."
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Melissa! Even though we recently moved away from Tennessee, we wanted to capture the essence of our time there before we left. Melissa did an incredible job capturing candid moments and the genuine emotions involved in moving from our home state. We truly appreciate her focus on real-life moments rather than just posed shots. Thank you, Melissa, for preserving our memories so beautifully.
“She was relatable, incredibly funny, made us feel so comfortable, and really made it a point to get to know us during our session!”
“Other than our wedding photos, these were the only professional photos my husband and I would have. This was our first time working with Melissa and although we knew she’d be amazing, she exceeded every expectation! She was relatable, incredibly funny, made us feel so comfortable, and really made it a point to get to know us during our session! Mel truly captured the very essence of who Corey and I are and I always look at these photos and say “Wow, I can’t believe that’s US!” I can’t wait to have her capture future milestones in our little family. She reflects Jesus in her personality and through her work 🤍 She’s more than a photographer, she’s a friend!”
The kind of work I do best...
