behind the photobrief…
Melissa (she/her)
Lead Photographer & Owner
I’m Melissa, a fan of rescue dogs, movie nights + whiskey gingers, historic spaces & all things museum (especially if they’re art history & archaeology related). I’m the lead photographer at The Photobrief and I’ll be your person for weddings, elopements, lifestyle, branding sessions & more.
I believe photography is a collaborative creative process that can create powerful imagery that will resonate with you for years to come. I appreciate the power of visual storytelling and want to honor you and your experience as a human.
Fun Facts: I play roller derby, got started photographing professionally on an archaeological dig in Italy, & love sci-fi and fantasy books/movies.
LAURA (she/her)
Associate & Boudoir Photographer
Garden fanatic. Adventure-Fantasy book enthusiast. And most importantly here- a saucy boudoir photographer.
I’ve been shooting boudoir for five years and it’s hands down my favorite type of photography. I get excited for every single client and there hasn’t been a single shoot that I’ve finished without a giant derpy smile on my face. It’s a complete honor to work with someone in such a fun and intimate way. If you’ve been thinking about a boudoir shoot, I hope you reach out! I promise you won’t regret it!
FEEL THE LOVE
Melissa did an incredible job at my wedding and was a joy to work with. EVERYONE in the wedding party said wonderful things about her. One of my bridesmaids (who’s been in multiple weddings) said she was the nicest photographer she ever worked with. Melissa listens and engages with people while staying focused and professional.
