Hey there!

I’m Melissa, and I am so happy you are here.

I grew up in Arizona, but I have also lived in North Carolina, Ohio, and now South Dakota. My husband is in the Air Force and we have two awesome kiddos – Tesla and Chase. My passion for photography is all about capturing those genuine, heartfelt moments. For me, it is more than just capturing images; it’s about freezing those fleeting moments that tell a story and evoke emotions. With every session, I strive to capture the essence of what makes each subject unique and memorable.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me diving into a good book, enjoying a game night, or savoring some delicious food. I’m also a fan of the great outdoors—whether I’m camping under the stars, fishing by a peaceful lake, or hiking through scenic trails, I find that nature fuels my creativity and adds a special touch to my work.

Feel free to explore my portfolio and reach out if you’d like to work together or simply chat about your photography needs. I’m looking forward to capturing your special moments and making them last a lifetime.
