Film & DIGITAL Photographer
For the past eight years I’ve had the honor of documenting some of life’s biggest moments, From wedding to families, maternity, brands, or portraiture, I always love when I’m invited in as an artist.
kind words From previous Raleigh photography clients
“Melissa captured absolutely every single emotion with each photo she took. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the final results.”
We chose to do a small intimate elopement in NC. From the beginning she was super helpful in sending us ideas, venues, florists, officiants, etc. She was always available to chat, very responsive, and an all around great person. 10/10, 5 stars, the absolute best.

“Melissa was such a joy to work with, one of the most genuine human beings I have ever met!”
She’s incredibly talented and has a gift for making you feel absolutely radiant during your session. I can’t say enough about her skill, professionalism, and warm personality. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to bring out your best, Melissa is the one!

“We had Melissa as our photographer for both our engagement pictures, and our wedding. It was one of our best decisions and investments!”
We hadn't done professional photos before, and she made the whole thing comfortable and gave great direction! On and leading up to our wedding day, she was a huge help with any questions I had considering I was planning the whole day myself, and was so helpful the day of as well...just her presence made things feel calmer and smoother! She got our photos too us so quickly, and we absolutely love them. (She even maneuvered around a passerby taking photos behind our beach wedding, so they didn't show up in our photos despite them being right behind the bridesmaids!) I 100% recommend having her as your photographer!
