Hey, I'm Melissa
I'm so glad you stopped by! I'm a North Carolina-based portrait and lifestyle photographer who can rarely choose one favorite anything because I can get excited about so many things. A few of my loves include:
- Jesus and His mission (fun fact: I work for my local church)
- travel (I've got an extensive bucket list)
- the Spanish language (I spent almost 9 years in Costa Rica)
- coffee
- cats
- reading (with a slight audiobook obsession on the side)
- ice cream and chocolate (together or apart)
- deep conversations, but also laughing until I'm crying
- every single beautiful flower, cute animal or baby, majestic mountain, or fascinating texture or pattern I see (every. single. one.)
I was recently married (joining that COVID-wedding club) and my husband is my favorite (if a bit begrudging) model when scoping out the perfect photo session location for your shoot. We do things he enjoys, too, and currently love working together to make our first house a sweet and welcoming home.
