I was born and raised in Las Vegas. I love this city and so much of what it has to offer. I’ve loved photography since I was a kid. My dream job growing up was to be a photographer for National Geographic. 

MY goal is to make your session as natural, fun, and stress free as possible. I want you to feel like you're just out on date night--with your personal photographer/ hype woman getting all the good shots. 

Hi, I'm melissa

Married to the love of my life with two small children who I adore more than anything. I have a very tight group of friends who have been around for over 20 years now and they’re all basically an extension of my family to me. I worked in the hotel industry for a long time before persuing my passion with photography but lots of the same core reasons apply to both.

Creating happy experiences for those around me is my specialty! I love humans and all the incredible life experiences and emotions we simultaneously go through. Which is one of the many reasons it makes me feel honored to photograph your special occasions or even just document a part of life you want to remember forever.

let's make art | let's make art | LET'S MAKE ART | LET'S MAKE ART

My dad owned an art gallery here in Las Vegas for over 25 years so I’ve always been immersed in the art world and have a huge appreciation for how it can be interpreted and created.

One of my favorite things about photography is that you’re taking seemingly ordinary moments and turning them into extraordinary art to live on for generations and to me that is so cool. I love to get creative at sessions and push limits as to what I can create! 

explorer

My love for exploration started in college. I first went abroad to Switzerland and became obsessed with going new places after that. Whether it was back to Europe, China, or road trips in the southwest. (my favorite area to explore)

I love going to new places, seeing new things, and learning about other cultures. My kids are still little but I’m excited to show them too when they are a little older, all the world has to offer 

My fiancé and I had such an incredible experience with her!"

"I highly recommend booking a session with Melissa...
