” To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, 'There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.” - Ansel Adams


Growing up, as I recall, I never had too much to say. An observant child; I have always had a great sense for depth of field, and a different perspective than those around me. I was very shy and quiet. Lanky and awkward. I have fond memories of painting four-foot murals in my mother’s sewing room, and riding my horse on the abundant horseback riding trails in the rural area where I grew up.


“Melissa’s a Social Butterfly”. I will never forget when a friend described me as such. A self-described planner, an eternal realist, I give people what they want --- decisive moments captured within an optical lens. Timeless archives cherished for generations to come.


I look forward to working with you and capturing your decisive moments!!
