Melissa is the perfect blend of professional and fun. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, helping my family choose the perfect outfits and location for our session. She made taking family photos fun for the whole gang and delivered the most amazing shots. We will cherish our photos forever and be coming back to her with all of our photography needs in the future.

I've been dealing with Melissa for years and she is amazing! She is extremely talented and can make anyone feel at ease in front of the camera, including small children. She always makes us feel like we are the most important client she's ever had. I recommend her to anyone I speak to about photographers.

I have no words to describe how talented Melissa is! She captured the true meaning of my family in an amazing range of photographs. I can’t thank her enough for her patience, kindness, and overall joy for what she is doing. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second in booking her for your session. She was easy to communicate with and a truly talented professional.

Melissa made my vision come to life :) she captured exactly what I was hoping for. She went above & beyond throughout the process even going as far as helping me with the process of choosing outfits that would complement one another & photograph well. I highly recommend using her if you want to capture beautiful moments with you & your family. I can’t wait for our next session which is already on the books! 💙

Melissa is AMAZING! She is more than a photographer. From beginning to end she makes everything less stressful! She has captured our family pictures every year, (12 years now) multiple pregnancies & even a fun photo shoot with my teen daughter! She is always so patient... Melissa amazes me every time she sends me the proofs! let’s be honest- to get 6 people to look at the camera and smile at the same time is nearly impossible- but she does it.. every time! Book her for your next family photo!! You won’t regret it!! :)

My family and I had the pleasure of working with Melissa a few weeks ago for our family photo session during our visit to the Charleston area. I have three young children and I try to have professional family pictures done at least once a year. In the past 3 years, we have done our pictures at places we have travelled to for a vacation or a long weekend. Needless to say, I have worked with a good handful of different photographers from different cities and even in other countries. While I have always gotten beautiful pictures, Melissa's work definitely stands out from the rest. First of all, she
