Hey, I'm Melissa!

​Photography has always been close to my heart. As a kid, I used to sneak into my parents’ closet just to peek inside their camera bag. I was endlessly fascinated by the gear, and later, I found myself working in a photo lab—printing images, changing chemicals, learning about cameras, and falling in love with the stories behind every photo that passed through my hands.​

​

As an EMS Dispatcher, my  job can be intense—it’s fast-paced, high-pressure, and often emotionally heavy. But photography? It reminds me of everything that's beautiful in life. It slows the world down. It brings me balance, creativity, and a renewed sense of connection.
 

I can't emphasize enough how important photos are. They freeze moments and if you have a memory like mine, can bring back memories that may have faded over time. Pictures show us where we once were, where we are today and all of the beautiful space in-between that is full of love, laughter, playfulness, resilience, strength and growth.

​

I always foster a "Photograph everyone and everything that matters" approach, and I want you to invest in a Photographer because you need to be in front of the lens too. 

​

In my personal time, you’ll often find me paddleboarding or hiking in the mountains—soaking in the quiet beauty of nature and recharging.

​

​If you’re looking for someone who will celebrate your story, make you feel seen, and capture you in the most authentic way possible—you're in the right place. I’ll be there—camera in hand, heart wide open.
