MAINE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

hi, I'm Melissa

Your soon to be best friend

When I'm not working you can find me mountain biking or doing something active outside with my boyfriend Tom or with friends. We have an adorable puppy named Gilmour who is the center of our world.

I don't take life too seriously and I aspire to make every day a fun experience. My friends would describe me as genuine, adventurous, and silly. You can bet I'll be trying to make you laugh during our session together to get those real smiles.

Kind Words

“I honestly can't say thank you enough for the boudoir experience! The more I look at the photos, the more I love them and appreciate myself! I was super nervous at first, but got more relaxed as the shoot went on. The nerves were so, so worth the it. I'm glad I can share the photos with my fiancé, but honestly it does so much more for me.”

“Melissa is a wonderful photographer. She made me feel at ease and engaged in the photography session. She is a great communicator from the initial request for a session to the delivery of the amazing images. As a professional looking for images to be used in marketing and social media she worked with me to ensure the session focused on my intention and needs.”

—Ellen

“My boudoir session with Melissa made me feel relaxed, not rushed and comfortable. She does an excellent job at explaining and showing examples of poses. She also gave outfit suggestions prior to my session and discussed pose ideas. I love how all the photos come out! I left the boudoir shoot feeling so confident and empowered, and highly recommend! If you’re questioning it, here’s your sign to just do it! You won’t regret it!"”

—Jessie

“Melissa is AMAZING! If you are looking for professional photos, look no more. She is fun, inviting and creative. I had a hard time trying to pick which photos I wanted to use in my business advertising because they were all SO good. I recommend Melissa to any business professional that is looking to stand out!”
