Hi, I am Melissa...the chick behind the lens.


I'm here to capture the fleeting moments that make life extraordinary. As a storyteller, I weave your unique journey into every photograph, creating a visual narrative that you can cherish for a lifetime.

I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, where my childhood was filled with adventures—running barefoot, picking grapefruits and oranges from our trees, and exploring nature's wonders. My father's passion for documenting our experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for capturing life's most cherished memories.

At the age of seven, my family relocated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I've since made my home. I'm incredibly grateful for the beautiful life I've built here, including raising my three children who inspire me every day.

Motherhood intensified my passion for photography, as I realized the power of freezing time through my lens. Photos allow us to preserve precious moments, transforming them into lasting treasures that we can revisit and hold dear.

Thank you for taking the time to visit! I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and capture the moments that matter most.

Warmly,

Melissa

“Mel was the most incredible photographer to work with ! She is funny and makes the entire experience very personal and easy to enjoy. We had our maternity photos with her and they turned out STUNNING. The poses looked so natural & effortless because she truly knows what she is doing. Looking through the final photos has made it so hard to choose! I would recommend her 1000x over to anyone I know looking for photos of any kind.”
