Kind Words

Collette Family

Melissa is simply wonderful!! My wild family of 4 had never gotten family photos taken before and were a bit nervous on posing, comfortability, etc. Melissa took the guess work right out of it and guided us with posing and made the entire experience simply amazing. She communicates clearly and effectively, connects with her clients on picture day and is just a technically great photographer. I could not be happier with our photos. She is my GO TO for any photography needs!! Her work speaks for itself!
