in Charlotte, North Carolina
Hey, mama! I see you scrolling through Instagram trying to find the perfect photographer. From bringing your new baby home from the hospital to watching your child’s personality bloom over the years, you want it all beautifully captured so you can see your life’s greatest love story unfold before your eyes. You want to point out how much your little one has grown as you carry them up the stairs for their bath at night. You want to sit down together on their birthday and flip through the pages of their first year album. You want those memories safeguarded, and you want them all. I get it.
The thought of one day forgetting those fleeting moments and all the small details is overwhelming. The days of motherhood go by in a blink of an eye and babies grow up much too fast. But, your photos do last a lifetime. Your photography investment is a promise towards preserving your family’s legacy and making your heart happy in the process.

"Melissa is the absolute best! She is sweet and patient, walking us through everything, making us laugh the entire time! And our pictures were amazing. She was truly able to capture everyone’s personalities, and they feel so natural. We’ve had so much fun every time we’ve had a session with Melissa. So thankful for her capturing these phases of lives so beautifully!

"Her work is beyond beautiful and her communication and planning leading up to our session was impeccable. She was so kind and bubbly during our session, I love that she guided us into poses that were comfortable and then let us giggle and interact so the photos were authentically “us”. I’m forever thankful for these moments now frozen in time thanks to Melissa!"

"Melissa was fantastic. We had newborn and family photos taken in a beautiful natural light studio. Melissa is great to work with and her work is 12/10! She managed a fussy baby and a toddler who was … “toddlering” to say the least, haha - and our pictures came out amazing!! We can’t wait to work with her again for more family pictures! Can’t recommend enough - communication, professionalism, and her work"

I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience. Melissa is fast to respond, patient and goes the extra yard to ensure you have the best experience. Not to mention she was beyond kind to our little ones during the entire shoot. They loved her! We can't wait for our next shoot with her."
