I'm so glad you're here to get to know me! First and foremost, I'm a wife and a mom. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we've known each other since we were in elementary school. Awww! Haha yeah that's usually the reaction I get. We have a beautiful daughter that was born in 2014. She is the light of my life and my reason for pursuing photography as a career in the first place. She and I are both huge bookworms! If you love to read, I know we will get along!

My first experience with photography was back in high school. I learned how to shoot in manual on a good old film camera, and I absolutely LOVED working in a darkroom. Although school took me down a different path, I wound up back at photography in the end. Having my own photography business was a dream of mine since I got my first DSLR in 2009. Becoming a mom was that push I needed.

When I started offering a client closet for my maternity clients, I realized that was where my passion shone. It brings me so much joy to see you light up at how stunning you look! I remember what it felt like being pregnant. Pretty crappy most of the time, right? But you are beautiful, and I want to show you that! I want you to have gorgeous images of yourself to look back at pregnancy with a smile! We all deserve to look, feel, and be treated like a queen when our bodies are doing some amazing things!

I've had women tell me that they didn't do a maternity session because they looked like crap. Trust me, I get it! But I'm here to change that. As much as we all love our babies, the attention does not always have to be on them. Celebrate yourself! Embrace your beautiful pregnant body! So let's do this! I'm so excited to hear from you, and I can't wait to plan your session with you.

Your Friendly maternity photographer

Hey, I'm Melissa!
