The Experience
“Working with Melissa not only provided me with my FAVORITE photos of myself, but it was also such an easy experience. I am really camera shy, but they made me feel so comfortable right away.
Their aesthetic, lighting, editing is all so beautiful and I was SO excited with how the photos turned out. Mel has such a natural eye for great shots and an easygoing energy.”

“Having someone else lens me, other than myself, was terrifying at the time. Mel encouraged me, affirming my gender, but also calming my fears.
Mel showed up with courage and with love. I had never let someone see me this way and I thank Mel everyday for unlocking the goddess inside me. I felt affirmed, loved, and seen.”
