Hi, I'm Melissa!

I love long, quiet hikes (especially in the fall and winter), sweet coffee and am currently on a kick of watching The Modern Family reruns. I am the mother to a WILD Boy, a DETERMINED little Girl and recently gave birth to a sweet boy who loves his siblings more than anything. If I'm being honest our chocolate lab, Stella, is the glue that holds our family together ... lol. While I daydream of traveling the country and going on beautiful hikes all over the world, deep down I'm a homebody and love going to the same place year after year ... I currently reside in Davison, MI but regularly travel to Central, FL and photograph families and weddings in both states.

I am a Physical Therapist Assistant by trade and it's in my soul to serve others. I have loved photography my entire life but purchased my first full framed camera in 2016. I quite my job as a PTA in April of 2021 and started photographing families and weddings full time. I have traveled all over the country to hone my photography skills. Capturing the raw, unscripted moments of your life is what brings joy into my life. Your story deserves to be preserved. Whether I'm capturing the sweet embrace of a mama holding her toddler to the nose of your favorite pup, Girl I've got you!

I have deep regrets of not having professional portraits taken of our life as a family of three. We were running low on funds and high on stress so with that being said I strive to do my best to make this experience as easy as possible on ALL family members. The fact that you have chosen to invest in me to capture your family's beauty is not taken lightly by me. I select areas that your littles have the ability to move around and be themselves. I will have cues for posing which I occasionally direct but most of my FAVORITE images are the ones snapped in between those given cues.
