meet Melissa.
With nearly 15 years behind the lens, I’m passionate about capturing the genuine, heartfelt moments that make life beautiful. Based in East Texas, I specialize in candid portrait photography, focusing on the joy shared by couples, families, and gatherings.
I believe the best photos come from authentic connections—when you're fully present with your loved ones, free to simply enjoy the moment. My goal is to create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where your unique story can naturally unfold. While my style leans toward capturing candid moments, I’m here to guide you through poses as needed, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way.
When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy cooking, crafting, and spending time with my dogs and farm animals. I can’t wait to bring that same sense of joy and connection to your photography experience!
