"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still."

Dorothea Lange

Welcome friend, my name is Melissa Jean

My journey into the world of photography began over 16 years ago when I first picked up a camera. The seeds of inspiration were sown by my beloved grandmother, who introduced me to the world of art. Her passion ignited my own. Choosing a photographer is an intimate decision, and I am honored by the opportunity to be a part of your moments. I look forward to connecting with you, understanding your vision, and creating images that resonate for years to come.

"Melissa did our engagement photos and I was astounded. Not only did she make my fiancé and I feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she also made us feel like friends! From poses to just genuinely having fun, I would highly recommend her for any photography needs! She is going to be stuck with us forever now! Can’t wait for our wedding and whatever else life throws at us for her to photograph"
