Hello friend and welcome! I'm Melissa, film wedding and portrait photographer from sunny South Florida. My photography journey started over fifteen years ago in my High School darkroom. These days you can find me traveling the country capturing love and joy for the sweetest and most amazing couples as well as fine art imagery for brands and businesses looking for a unique and fine art driven aesthetic.
At home near the coast. Ever-focused on beauty and the art of creation; found in the quiet moments that leave me breathless and in awe.

Below are some popular add on options including film and additional coverage. If one of the collections above does not meet your needs, I can curate a custom collection for you with everything you need and nothing you don't.
FILM ADD ON
If you love the look of film and think it will add to the overall aesthetic of your photoshoot you may add it on. Rate is based on how many rolls you'd like me to use. You can have just one roll or your entire session on film.
EXTENDED SESSION TIME
Planning a to have a full seasonal collection photographed? Or perhaps you're team needs new headshots and a new location highlighted. You can add on additional time for a max of 8 hours per day.
SMALL EVENT COVERAGE
I offer small event coverage for brand or corporate events, parties, etc, A two hour minimum is required for events.
ALBUMs
Albums require a custom quote and begin at $770 for a 10x10 thirty page linen cover album.

To start, we'll have a consultation to chat about your vision for your session.
I want to hear all about your business and branding needs! Then, to officially book your session, simply choose one of the collections. A 50% Retainer Fee is due along with a signed Portrait Contract.

BOOKING
After your retainer is paid, the remainder is due one week prior to your session.
Your retainer fee is non-refundable, however you may transfer your date once without any additional rescheduling fees. All payments are made online via your Client Portal where you can easily find all our emails, your forms, and your invoice in one place.

PAYMENTS
During our consultation we'll chat about your vision for your session and talk through ideas!
Once we're official, I'll also send you a Questionnaire to fill out so that I can get to know you, your goals for the session, locations, etc. Together we will plan and style a session that will capture the essence of your brand and business.

SESSION PLANNING
What you can expect
LET'S BREAK it DOWN
My style is romantic, natural, and relaxed. I will guide you through natural posing that captures...
...your personality and that allows your brand style to truly shine through in your images. I prefer to "direct" my clients and will guide you through poses that allow you to just be you.
4
YOUR SESSION DAY
Your images will be delivered via an Online Gallery where you can easily view and download your images.
Your gallery will be active for twelve months. You can also order prints and canvases directly through your gallery. If you want to order a custom Keepsake Album after your session we will have a separate design meeting to go over specifics as well as cost. I absolutely adore when clients allow their photos to live outside a screen!
