Meet Melissa...

I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, auntie and fun seeker! Besides my passion for photography, I love spending time with my two daughters, hubby and extended family and friends. Some of my favorite time is spent watching my girls play sports; soccer, lacrosse and flag football! I also enjoy outdoor adventures, such as wake surfing, paddleboarding, swimming, snowboarding/skiing, walks and going to the beach. 

I may be slightly competitive when it comes to sports or games of any kind! I am obsessed with my at home espresso machine (lattes and iced coffee),  and sweets (not that best habit)! I also love going to pilates classes, going to the movies, doing jig-saw puzzles, shopping, baking and cooking.  

 I’ve always had an interest in photography, but it wasn’t until I got my first DSLR camera in 2011 that I became interested in improving my skills and eventually had the desire to make a career out of it. I really look forward to meeting you and learning the story of you and your family!
