my style is simple yet edgy and a fresh perspective to traditional children’s and family photography. i am an on-location photographer and i use natural light to capture candid shots. rather than posing, my favorite thing to do with children is to follow them around and let them be themselves - the best shots come from that! my goal is to capture every smirk and quirk and precious little thing they are doing at each stage. i love that i get to be a part of your family for a moment in time and help you preserve those memories for a lifetime!

I simply can not say enough great things about Melissa! She is so wonderful to work with- makes you feel like her top priority. And as far as working with kiddos- she was awesome! We had a group of 4 kids, 4 yrs old and under- it takes talent to make them all look in the same direction, much less get fabulous pictures like she did! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thanks so much Melissa- it was such a pleasure!

Melissa is an amazing photographer with so much talent!! She is incredible with kids and makes them feel totally comfortable!
Not only this, but Melissa was amazing to work with after our shoot was done. She was very professional and helpful in helping me choose the right pictures for my needs and was always there when I had any questions. I look forward to using Melissa again and again for our family, but most of all, look forward to recommending her to all of my friends to use! Thank you Melissa for a job well done!

We used Melissa for my daughters 1 year photos and we were more than impressed! Our trip from College Station was well worth the drive. Melissa was able to catch our daughters personality in photos that are stunning! She also has an eye for what will make a great photo. I would recommend Melissa to anyone! :)

Melissa is an amazing photographer. She is brimming with fresh ideas and ways to bring out the unique personality of your little one (not to mention a mountain of patience). She has shot pics of my family many times and everytime I am brought to tears with the results. I highly recommend her, she is fantastic!!!

Melissa is such a talented photographer! My family and I had a session with her at the Dallas Arboretum in September '09. The pictures she took were the best we have ever had done. She also photographed my 2 yr old son by himself(not a easy task!!)and those pictures turned out beautiful! I cant wait to take pictures with Melissa again.

Melissa was referred to me by a friend and I was so pleased. She was super easy to work with, my gilrs loved her, and we got GREAT family pictures. I won't be going back to the mall anytime soon for a photo shoot! This was soooo much easier and the pictures Melissa took were SOOOO much better. I would highly recommend her!

i've know melissa for several years now and was always blown away by her artistic abilities, so when she started the new venture in photography, it came as no surprise. both of my children model professionally and have worked with many photographers... by far, melissa was the most patient and encouraging of their natural skills. i - like most moms - am a complete perfectionist and found myself comfortable with melissa taking charge of the family shots. i highly recommend melissa for individual, family and/or modeling portfolio work.

Melissa is the best!! Due to a two year old child that wasn't feeling well and a one year old that can't sit still, I prayed for only three "good" pictures. Melissa was able to build the best 54 photo portfolio of my family that has EVER been taken! She has earned our business for as long as she will except us! :)
Thank you Melissa for pulling a rabbit out of your hat! You truly have a gift!

Melissa has taken pictures of our family several times and is able to capture the personality of our boys (7 and 2 years old) in her photography every time. She is super sweet and so much fun to work with. Her creativity is amazing, pictures are breathtaking, and prices are very easonable.

Melissa took my maternity and newborn photos and she did an outstanding job! She is so patient and easy to work with. She's very fast at getting the photos to you and makes any adjustments you may want. She has a very good eye for great photography, I highly recommend her.

Melissa is a wonderful photographer! She has an eye that captures the personality of your children perfectly creating pictures for you to cherish over the years. She took my daughter's newborn shots and I couldn't have asked for better pictures!

Melissa is the best photogrpaher I have ever found! She has an amazing talent in capturing the hearts of children on film. Everyone who sees the pictures she took of my little guy wants her name so she can photograph their kids.

Best of all she is reasonable and so much fun to work with.

You will not regret booking with Melissa.
