Does this sound like you?
You want photos of your family actually being your family — tickle fights and belly laughs, not forced smiles at the camera.
Your toddler has never once cooperated with a plan, and you need a photographer who rolls with that (I do — it's my favorite part).
You're expecting or just welcomed a baby, and you want these fleeting first weeks captured before they're gone.
You feel awkward in front of the camera and want someone who makes the whole thing feel like a fun morning out, not a photoshoot.
if so, I’d love to hear from you!
Client Experiences
Don't just take my word for it - hear what clients have to say about their sessions
“Effortless And Fun!”
“Melissa made our couples photo session feel effortless and fun. We had a quick 30-minute shoot in Boston Common, and despite my husband being quite shy, her warm personality and natural guidance helped him feel completely at ease. The photos turned out beautifully - authentic, artistic, and full of emotion. It was such a meaningful way to capture a memory in Boston. Highly recommend working with her!”
-- Tang
“Friendly And Super Talented!”
“Melissa is friendly and super talented. My husband and I are awkward in front of the camera, but we didn’t feel that with Melissa, and she was able to capture our everyday life moments right at home with our son and even our cat!”
-- Thao
“Extremely Happy With The Results!”
“My fiancé and I had an engagement photoshoot with Melissa, and we are extremely happy with the results! It was raining on the day of our shoot, which made us a little nervous at first, but Melissa took full advantage of the weather and turned it into a positive. One of our favorite photos ended up being one of us in the rain! Melissa is professional yet sweet, and she made us feel very comfortable throughout the shoot. Highly recommend her if you’re looking to do an engagement photoshoot!”
