xoxo, M
I'm so glad we found each other! Let's jump right in and get to the heart of it! My name is Melissa and I believe in the simple sincerity of a moment. I believe that life is to be celebrated and that we shouldn't waste another second of it. There's no place I'd rather be than outside in gorgeous natural light capturing joyful memories that would otherwise be lost in time. Now, come on in, take a look around and let's get to preserving the essence of your love story!

We play too long, laugh too hard and have more than our share of adventures! Hi there, I'm Melissa and I live with my husband and 3 sweet babes on an organic farm in Central New York. I know the busyness of life. I know how easy it is to get caught up in the day to day and what it's like to wake up and realize that literally, overnight, your child grew out of every pair of pants he owns. High waters are "in", right? Cliche, yes, but time really is fleeting. Not to worry, I'm here to help slow it down for you! Let's capture your toddler's silly face, your tween's almost grown-up smile and all the sincere love in your life. It's time to celebrate!
Hi there, I'm so glad you came to visit

"We are so in love with all of them and don't know how we'll ever decide which images to hang on the wall! Thank you!"
~Joyce
the photos are so lovely
"My family and I were new to the professional photo scene, and honestly, even a bit nervous about moving forward with our session. Then in stepped Melissa - a bright, warm, encouraging spirit - easing our nerves and bringing out our natural selves. To say we are pleased with the way she captured our family would be an understatement. The smiles, the belly laughs, the play, the intimate moments...she got it all on camera." ~Stephanie
wonderful day!
"Melissa has an uncanny ability to know her subjects; she had us laughing and loving this activity instantly. We were all relaxed and ready for our photo shoot. Needless to say the photos which she presented us with were exceptional!"
