I'm not even sure where to begin. I contacted Melissa on short notice as I was not confident the photographer I initially engaged was going to show. She was very responsive from the onset. Having our date available, we quickly contracted with Melissa to take our family of 14, photographs. Once I told her my vision, she suggested the perfect spot. As soon as we arrived, I was amazed. She captured my vision perfectly. She went through all the "must have" poses with us, which is important so as not to miss anything we wanted. She was especially in tune with our special needs grandson and learned how to capture his attention perfectly. She did not make us feel rushed. Capturing the perfect memories for her client's, is her timeline. I'm glad we put our trust in her. On a personal note, Melissa really does enjoy what she does and her photographs show it. She's so much fun! I live two hours away from her and will exclusively use her for our photography needs! We cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you, Melissa! read more

We had a shoot with Melissa on the beach with 16 of us- from 9 months old to 66 years old- WOW, did we have fun! Melissa captured such wonderful moments for us, ones that we will treasure forever. She made it so easy, and effortless as we were concerned due to the 8 kids and the husbands (always the men who don't like pictures..), but Melissa had them smiling and enjoying it- it wasn't like stand here, put your hand there, turn this way- nope, it was stress free, we rolled with the moment and EVERYONE had a blast! And the pictures show it- I would shoot with Melissa again, and plan too! I highly recommend her- she made communicating with her very easy, and she's quick to respond and has the beast easy going personality which is a must with a photographer! Thanks, Melissa for capturing the love and fun with our family! read more

We loved working with Melissa! Everything from the booking process to the final gallery was very professional and well communicated. She helped me chose outfits that fit the "vibe" of the photos I was going for and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. During the session we found Melissa to be very personable and great with our three-year old daughter, all while making sure she captured beautiful photos that told the story of our family. We couldn't be happier with the results! The pictures fit the exact aesthetic I was going for. I can't recommend Melissa enough if you are looking for an amazing photographer in the Orlando area. read more

I never write reviews, but Melissa was great and definitely earned one. We recently worked with Melissa for a maternity photoshoot at Disney's Port Orleans Resort. She worked with our overscheduled day to find a time that worked for us. She also worked well with everyone's personality. My husband is a complete ham, I tend avoid attention if possible, and our 3-year-old had missed his nap. Melissa made the whole experience comfortable and simple. She got us our edited photographs more than a week early and they all looked amazing. I recommend her services to anyone in the area looking for a great photographer and experience. read more

Our family had such a great experience with Melissa for my maternity shoot. She was incredibly patient and kind, and was able to squeeze us in last minute after just getting back from a trip. She always responded in a timely manner and made us feel so comfortable. The entire time it felt like a family friend was taking photos of us. She was amazing with both our 2 and 4 year old and captured them perfectly. On top of that, she got our pictures back to us so quickly, and they turned out absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend Melissa if you're looking for someone friendly, professional, and extremely talented! read more

I found Melissa through a google search for "family photographers near me" & I am so happy we chose her! I wanted to get some pictures taken of my grandma, my mom & I for my mom's 60th birthday. The weather was not working in our favor on our scheduled dates, but Melissa did absolutely everything she could to make it work. We were going to take the pictures in downtown Windermere. However, because of the weather Melissa ended up recommending Gaylord Palms. It all worked out perfectly. The location was beautiful. She was amazing! I'd recommend to anyone & would love to book future sessions with her. read more

Absolutely loved Melissa! she took our newborn photos and did an incredible job! As a first time mom, she eased my anxiety and made my family so comfortable throughout the entire process, especially when our newborn had some fussiness. She was easy to talk to and really managed to take the most beautiful photos. My husband and I are in total awe of her talent and can't wait to work with her in the future. Thanks so much for helping us capture these memories, we are so grateful to you!! read more

Melissa was fantastic! We were in Orlando for a family vacation and we included family photos in our itinerary. Unfortunately, rainy weather threw off our original plan and location. However, Melissa offered a great indoor option and was willing to be flexible. We ended up doing an indoor shoot. While I was skeptical, the photos turned out great and I'm very happy. If you are thinking of booking Melissa, just go ahead and do it! read more

Our photos taken on our family vacation (14 people) by Melissa were beautiful. She also was great to work with, very patient with some of the little ones who weren't excited about this (and good at getting them to cooperate). She had great ideas about the backgrounds and lighting. The photos turned out as nice as we could have hoped. read more
