Introduction

My 10 years of experience working as a teacher for grades k-12 paired with my passion for photography have helped me develop a great method for working with kids of all ages. I take great pride in my photography, and I produce fantastic photographs. All of my sessions include high-resolution digital files (with printing rights) because I understand that with the digital age, many families are looking to have the files in their hands. I love that I get to meet new families on a regular basis, and I get such a kick out of photographing kiddos. I definitely get to "play" during my sessions, and I just love it.

Melissa is an excellent photographer! Our photos were amazing, and she got the kids to smile in a very natural way, without cheeze or posing. I have large canvas prints of her photos in our front hallway, and love them.

Outstanding is not a strong enough description... Melissa was absolutely amazing & accommodating! I am a difficult consumer with not a lot of patience and let me tell you; every request I made, Melissa handled with the utmost urgency. Without a doubt I will call on her again in my dealings. Trust me when I say this as I do not post much... Melissa is worth every penny & then some! I completely appreciate what she did & the quality of work she provided. I would become a customer soon because when the word gets out about her & the work she does; you maybe waiting for an appointment. Melissa your great & I wish you only good things for you! Enjoy your forth coming success... Paul & Althea

Holy noodles are we happy with our session today! Melissa has amazing communication and doesn't make anyone feel rushed or silly for their ideas. We had an AMAZING 1st birthday with our son. I haven't even seen the photos yet and I would recommend her 100%. This photo session was leaps and bounds better than a birthday party. We left beaming.....and exhausted. Book a session. You will love her! -the Gettis brood

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Absolutely. I meet regularly with other professional photographers to discuss best practices, etc. I am constantly adding to my skill set.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have loved photography since taking a b&w photography course in High School. I turned my bathroom into a darkroom and developed my own negatives and prints. I went on to become a science teacher for a K-12th grade alternative school, where I spent 10 years LOVING my job. I had kids of my own, and decided to be a stay-at-home mom. Through taking photos of my own children, I rediscovered my passion for photography. I have since opened a studio, and had great success as a professional photographer!
What types of customers have you worked with?
My "typical" session is in studio, with kiddos. I also meet families at local parks for outdoor shoots. I also regularly do real estate photography, where I photograph a house for sale.
