“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.”

- Michael J. Fox

As a family photographer, specializing in maternity, newborn and child portraits, Melissa has the outstanding ability to capture meaningful and poignant images of priceless moments. The patience and poise that comes from juggling being a young professional, a wife, and a mother of three, is reflected in the natural ease that is portrayed in her photos. She is passionate about her photography and her career, working intimately with her clients and maintaining solid relationships with her prop vendors. Her focus is always on her subject, using props as mere supplements if necessary.
