“Melissa is absolutely amazing! We have experienced multiple couples sessions with other photographers over the years, but Melissa has been by far our favourite photographer to work with! Her attention to detail and making you feel at ease is done in such a fun effortlessly way you will feel so close to her right away!

Aside from her being incredibly patient and kind, she knew how to make us feel comfortable and at ease with every pose. Most importantly, Melissa captures real and genuine moments in every photo and when looking back at them, I can see and feel the emotions through every image. I recommend her for any style of shoot and know that when we need photos done, I will be contacting her!”
