I'm a survivor.  I'm a fighter.  I'm grateful for every sunrise I see and I'm exhausted every night because I pack more living into the middle than I have any business attempting. I wouldn't want it any other way. I work like I live: with the gusto and a ferocity of someone bent on getting their money's worth out of this lifetime.

Every person I work with changes me in big and small ways; their stories marry with mine and that inextricable closeness drives me and fuels me.

But, there is an innate gentleness in me that comes from the deepest empathy of knowing what IT is like because I've been there.  Nothing feels quite like being in the presence of someone who truly sees us.  And, I see, because I am.  

Every session booked with Melissa Marie Photography is a custom experience with styling, design, and an effortless workflow so that you feel you are in the best hands from start to finish. No detail is too small: whether you are trusting me with your family and children or yourself at your most vulnerable, I deliver a level of service that leaves you feeling pampered, valued, and relaxed. It all begins with a plan for your wardrobe and location, then work with trusted hair and makeup artists, followed by a seamless, fun session that leaves even the most reluctant of subjects smiling comfortably and naturally.  Professional retouching and signature editing elevate your images to the truly stunning works of art you deserve.  Go ahead - set that bar high.
